Hello! Does the ear gel pop off / fall off easily? I keep these in my pocket. If you pull on the gel, does it jump off or resist?

The ear gel (i.e. softer malleable plastic) attaches to a harder piece of plastic but the "gel" piece can rotate. I haven't seen it tend to slip off so much.

It doesn't come off easy. You have to be trying to get it off. In the pocket has never been an issue with it coming off. Great device. Mt only issue is -> I can't activate Siri on iPhone with it like other plantronics can. I have accidentally washed the whole thing in the easy 6 times and then dried it and it still works. Great device!

You'd have to use a little effort to get the gel off. It certainly won't fall off in your pocket because I put mine in my pocket all the time.

My story is almost identical: ear buds fall out when I'm running, these have been the only ones that work and I've been buying them for many years. If I was lucky a pair might last for a year before losing the sound in one ear, but sometimes it was only 6 months. Still, I was willing to pay the $8 a few times a year for headphones I could run with. My jaw dropped tonight when I came on the site for a replacement pair. This is definitely outrageous. I think Sony realized that there is a small but faithful group of people who depend on this style, and they're hoping we're desperate enough to take the hit to our wallets! This could have a hugely negative impact on my exercise regimen...

Well if you're doing any physical activity they have a chance of falling out (although it rarely happens for me). Sound quality is actually pretty good for the price.

No, the ear cushions do not come off easily. I have been able to use these while working out without them falling off.

I have never had any issues with the buds falling out. If you use the supplied clip the buds stay in your ear better than without. Great sounding though, you will hear details that other earbuds don't deliver.

They can be a challenge because the cord is so long. If you find a way to attach your mp3 player in a different place besides your goggles it helps or to find a good place to clip the cord to your suit. Otherwise the earbuds stay in pretty well; every once in awhile i'll hit one out with my arm. I was happy with them for the price, and they have held up nicely.

There is an over the ear guide accessory included that solves this problem. That being said, I have not had a problem with them falling out, either way. They are a bit heavy, so you'll need to find a good fitting tip (which should be easy enough with all the accessories they provide). Once you find a proper fitting tip, it shouldn't be an issue.

I haven't tried them exercising but they should stay in well. The proper way to wear them is you bring the wire up from behind your ear, looping down the front and then the earpiece pushes in. This loop of wire around the ear takes all the weight off the earpiece so it never moves.

Hi Carolyn! The wallet case, by nature, is a bit more to hold next to your ear than a "normal" case. The way most people have been using these comfortably is how a few customers here have mentioned, by folding the "wallet side" behind the phone side and then holding it up to your ear. I alternate between a few of our cases and the wallet case took some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's very handy :) If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

I use them for walking and haven't yet had an issue with them falling out. The rubber ear plug comes in two different sizes (that are included in your purchase) and you pick the one that fits the inner part of your ear canal. In fact I have to give them a gentle tug to remove them. I hope this helps.

They don't "stick" They go around the edge and fit into a little groove around the side of the headphone. Fit was very snug. I don't believe they will ever fall off.

I have only owned mine a short while. The clip does come apart, but not because of real breakage. Rather, I think it aids in sanitizing them. The ear clip easily reattaches to the stem and STAYS PUT. I've had no problems and the clips are gentle on the backs of my ears! I love these!

These are designed to fit your ear in different places. The shape helps the earpiece to stay in your ear. Just make sure you get the right size. That's the most important part. I wear mine for about fourteen hours a day and I haven't had an issue with them falling out or discomfort.

They do not fall off, slip out, at all. I absolutely love them. I have used the over the ear support and the rubber in ear support. I prefer the in ear. Hope this helps. One more thing. I sometimes think the sound could be better, but, I can't hear vehicles coming up behind me. All in all. I love them.

Sorry, I don't know. But it's strange, for me they don't fall out after using them for three hours in a row, and I've being using them for more than a year like three times per week. The holdings should secure the earbuds to your ears quite well.

I'm wearing them right now with dangly, wire earrings. I don't find them difficult to adhere or poke through, and they do support my lobe. I agree with the other poster that if you don't put them on with care your earlobe can look a little silly. Just reposition

I use mine about a week or a little longer, but I have zero problems with ear infections or much earwax. After I first insert them, I can feel & hear the foam expanding. When I notice that the foam isn't expanding as vigorously as it did at first, I know they're not going to block noise as well, and it's time to replace with a new pair. Oddly, to me, it seems like one plug in the pair usually fails first; I guess I'd have expected they would both go about the same time. I strongly agree with those who say don't wash them; that was an accident that did not go well.
