I have very narrow ear canals. Do the tips actually go in the ear canals or just cover them?

They go into the ear canal a little but come with 3 different size tips for differing ear sizes and they are soft flexible silicone

The tips enter the ear canal slightly, just enough for clear sound and effective noise cancellation. Three tip sizes are included for the most comfortable fit and the soft silicone is flexible and quite comfortable.

It has to go into the ear canals so that u can really block out noise from the background-for the noise cancellation to work well

I have never been comfortable with any type of earbuds. That being said, these fit very nicely with small plastic wings to hold them in. And the sound quality is unbeatable.

I don't use any of the provided tips, I purchased separately the Comply Tsx-200 Comfort PLUS Earphone Tips. If the memory foam ones are your favorite and/or comfort is a priority for you, I highly, highly recommend checking these out.

Mine completely surround my ears and I don't have tiny ears, also mine fit snug not overly tight , that said I've had some comfortability issues after an hour or so but are more comfortable than a more expensive pair of dewalts I own. Hope this helps.

The rubber tip keeps it snug in your ear. There is also a plastic hoop that can be attached which will help keep it in.

The ear tips are standard tips for this kind of ear piece. If you have a old set of ear pieces and they are the cushion type, they should just simple push on. Hope this helps.

Yes they come with 3-5 different tips and the flange are one of the options. However, I would like to update you on their performance. The right ear blew and I have no bass. If I get above 1/2 volume on my Ipad or Digital musoc in tge gym I only hear garbage. I am VERY dissappointed in the durability of these headphones especially considering the price I paid. I will contact Etymotic to see if they will replace them.

My thought too - I actually returned a set because I couldn't get to fit and then later tried it again. You have to work it onto the post - but they actually do fit - and very tightly which is what you want. BTW - I love these. I have very small ear canals and have never been able to get ear buds to work. The standard Apple buds are a total waste of money on someone like me. I'm glad that there are companies like Comply that actually think about this stuff.

Do not remember. I returned this item. The tips came off & lodged in my ear canals. I believe they are the standard #10. They last about 3-5 days with constant use. If you need a device, look for a rechargeable one. Batteries become very expensive with these & other items like this, even the safe ones.

I only used "TV Ears" for about 1 year before getting regular hearing aids (which in my case work better). I had no problem with the foam rubber tips falling off. I made myself a couple of little covers (kind of like miniature pillow cases) out of very soft cloth and covered the tips with my covers while using the "TV Ears". That way the tips would not get dirty (replacements would have been expensive). When my covers got dirty I merely hand washed them and dried them and they were good to go for awhile. I don't know if my little covers helped keep the tips on but I had no problems except ongoing discomfort due to the weight of the TV Ears hanging from my ears which took some time to get accustomed to.

yes. they come with 2 different rubber ear piece styles each in large, medium and small. The ones that fit me best were the mediums. there was a triple ribbed style for the ear piece where the small size was very small and flexible so i could imagine it would fit very small ear canals.

The earphones will stay put. The level of comfort will vary as each person has a different shaped ear canal. Keep in mind there are other manufacturers eartips that will fit these earphones. You have a lot of options to get a good fit. I prefer the 2 flange eartips made by another company. You can always go the high-end route and have a set of custom eartips cast specifically for your ears.

I use a little lotion around the ear canal to get my earbuds to slide in. It might help you so that you won't have to squeeze it.

I have small ear canals so I just leave mine hanging right out side the canals and I hear everything fine. I love my set!

I also have small ears, but I've heated up the bend in the tube slightly wider with a lighter to make it a bit wider. Be careful not to melt through! It kept mine from popping out so easily. Plus we use the ear plugs called something like rockets that stay in my ears but let in sound too....good luck!

Yes. They fit into the ear canal, completely blocking wind. I have a friend who uses them for that purpose...he is prone to ear infections. If you jiggle them a little, you can slightly dislodge the seal so you can hear a little better.

Children's ears are very delicate. I'd avoid using these, they can be very powerful at times and kills hearing. To answer your question, yes they include smaller tips for kids.

I'm curious as to how far you are inserting them into your ear canal that they protrude as you describe. They have to seat well enough into your ear that just the "stem" is poking out. Use care / common sense when in proximity to things that may bump your ears of course, but in everyday use, you should be fine. When I use them, the stem is almost barely noticeable unless you are looking for them.
