I only like to run with one ear bud in - would this be comfortable leaving the right bud out? I do this so I can hear traffic.

The backbeat FIT isn't sound isolating so you can hear traffic with both buds in. Don't know if it would be comfortable with just one.

They do not fit tight, you could run and hear everything. If you keep it looped around the ear, you can jog like that, but it is not as stable.. Walking with it completely out is very unstable. It does not fit into the ear canal like the LG 700 series and is built so you can run and still be aware of your surroundings

Nikita, I always had at least one out, but it would get a little tender because of the way I would have the wires up over the tops of my ears. It was probably just me. As I said in my review, my main issue with them was that the sound in the left ear kept cutting out.

I wear mine while running and biking and don't have much of an issue. They come with several different options for the in-ear cushions--sorry but I can't think of what their proper nomenclature is off hand--and you may find that different ones stay put better than others. I run to a Marine Corps running cadence recording and with my iGi In-Ear Headphones it sounds just like I'm back on Parris Island with my Drill Instructors yelling at me. haha

i go running with mine. i sweat a lot. no problems with slippage. also, i've thrown in ear plugs and used these things while operating a jackhammer. pretty nice to have something interesting (Darn Carlin's Hardcore History) to listen to while working.

There is only one protected opening where I use my earbuds. Unless you can plug them in there, I'd have to say, no.

I use The Buds primarily while driving. And I always drive with the window open. My callers say they can tell when I'm in traffic, but they can always hear me just fine.

Absolutely, as you've probably figured out. It is an amazing design. Absolutely ambidextrous. I like it when I'm driving on my "inside ear." It usually stays in my right ear by default for that reason.

After reading all responses, the method that I use is wrapping it around the back of my neck. I give a little slack to the right ear and usually the left side doesn't move too much. I guess it would depend on what activity you're doing. Also I have a name tag clip on it sometimes. That way I can clip them to my shirt.

For sure! But I don't recommend using headphones while cycling. It isn't safe, you need to be able to hear traffic around you. Play music through your speakerphone. Also, you may need some extra long headphones if you do decide to take that route :)

yes, it can be worn on either ear. However, I find it to awful sound quality. It's pretty much useless, especially if you're a commercial driver(which I am). I'm looking for a different headset and I suggest you do the same. I thought I could save a few bucks but you get what you pay for I guess.

I feel more comfortable with the swim cap, but I have worn them without. I guess it depends on how comfortable you feel. Wearing the swim cap gave me a sense of security that the ear buds wouldn't come out.

I do almost daily. I use a full face HJC with a flip down visor and the phones fit into each ear without any problems, much better than ear buds. The sets of silicone ear pieces will offer a variety for a good fit in each ear canal. They work well up to 70 mph then they lose some clarity.

No actually thats how I would wear them before and never noticed a problem with sound.but to answer your question, no issues on how you wear them. Foam buds worked better for my ears. I ended sending them to inearcentral and turned them into personal inear monitors. I recommend you try it. worth the $150 the 3 drivers on this set are great for monitors.

Sometimes I fall asleep wearing them, usually I sleep on my side so I will wear only one ear bud in the other ear. So overall I find them pretty comfortable for sleeping.

I have a lot of issues with my ear canals being too small for headphones. It seems like the left is smaller then the right also. When I put these in, I can definitely tell they fit much better than anything else I've ever tried, however, they still fall out after a few minutes of running. The left falls out faster, but the right one eventually works its way out also. If you just want them for casual use and not for sports, I think they'd work fine. They feel snug and actually go into my ears and seem to block outside noise really well. Hope that helps!

Yes, the earpiece can be worn in either ear. Just twist the earbud either direction to turn on and for either ear you intend to wear it. FYI...I wear on my right ear and the charging "pads" are against your skin if worn on right ear. I did find after wearing it outside in the heat that blisters were left on my skin, 5 of them, from the charging pads. I had to wear on my other ear until the 5 blisters went away on my right side.

I couldn't see there was any difference, or markings so I would say no- use in either ear. There is an off switch on one line - it will depend which ear bud you use where so put it where you want it I guess. I seldom use it. Also these are not really smaller than regular earbuds. They're OK but I probably wouldn't buy them again.
