The reviews of the S1have me sold, but...I've never had a pair of buds that didn't twist in that stay in during my work outs. Why would these be diff?

These are pretty good for workouts, the foam tips are great but mine disintegrated after a few months of sweaty ears. The other tips are still pretty good. The cords go over your ears which is important for running. For the price you won't do much better.

I haven't had any issue with hard foam that comes with the buds, but they do come with some other options.

It could be for a few reasons why the tips included have not worked out well for you when working out, firstly check the different variety of tips included and make sure to give the Comply foam tips included a good try, as they are form fitting foam they will conform to the shape of your ear canal and in theory give a tighter seal. Comply also sell other size foam tips which might also help. Secondly check how your cable and audio player are positioned during your work out, generally using a arm strap will help to put your player and earphones in a position to cause less pulling force on the earbuds when in your ear. Hope these suggestions help.

Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower. I cannot give an honest answer as I am usually sitting behind my PC while using these ear buds. Still,they have lasted longer than any other set I've owned (considering my cats and my jumbled work area).The quality sound and durable cords are the best thing I can tell you for sure. Hopefully another user will be able to help you with the "work out" question. I have no problem with them falling out but then again, I am not chopping wood or jogging with them in. Wish I could be more help~Cheers! Sadly, I do not use these when working out. In fact, my work outs consist of pushing a lawn mower.

I've actually taken these ear buds on runs and they stay very secure because of the over-the-ear design. Also, you have to squeeze the earbuds, like earplugs, then put them in your ear and they mold to your ear canal. They form a secure, comfortable fit that, through my experience with earbuds, will not come loose with physical activity. These buds are built solid, including the flat cord. This cord WILL NOT twist unless you purposely twist it yourself.Awesome pair of earbuds !

These buds have several different sized ear pieces so that you theoretically can find the right size that wedges into your ear. That said, they will probably come out if you're running or if the line gets tugged. However, I only wore them to work out a couple of times. My impression is that they don't have as good of sound quality as the apple buds that came with my ipod. I eventually went with "on ear" headphones.

Like in my review, they are, if you can get them at just the right angle. There's no 'locking' position, so you have to make sure they are on just right. This was one of my concerns when buying these, and they work pretty good when you go running. But like "R Squared" mentioned, you have to turn up the volume because they don't block out sound very good. I was looking for some headphones that weren't ear buds because those don't stay in my ears, but these are a lot bigger and bulkier than I thought. The actual ear pieces are pretty fat. And my audio jack ended up ripping away from the wire, but I have no idea why. In conclusion, I wouldn't get these for running.

No. That was my problem. I guess just the shape of my head around my ears prevented the bud part from staying in my hearing canal. Now it may be that they fit you, but if they don't you're outtaluck.

These ear buds are made similarly to the IPod ear buds. The material used to make them seems lighter to me and the only part that is different is the part that is put in your ears. I generally don't have an issue with them tangling but if I had to put a number to it I would say 4.5.I hope this helps you.

No these are unique to Bose, however, the post and opening are not the issue, it is the shape of the Bose that is the issue. If you really like these, I would use a tiny drop of crazy glue to make sure the stay on the post of your ear buds. If you try that, and I would because the shape and approach are comfortable and stay really well even when running, I think they would work. Pastor Jim

This is not an easy question to answer. They will probably fit fine since they are held in place by the ear loops (for lack of a better term). Snug, not as predictable. Mine feel like they have extra play so do tend to move a bit. I wouldn't want them to be too snug because they'd be uncomfortable. Will they stay in place? Yes. For the price, they're worth checking out. I found them to be a 100% improvement over ear buds which would not stay in while running. Better sound quality than ear cup headphones. Bottom line... I tried 3 options & even though they are a bit loose, they are by far the best headphones for use during physical activity. This is not an easy question to answer.

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.

I use them lifting, stationary bike, row machine, sit-ups, pull-ups, and indoor climbing... and they have never just fallen out. The top ear clip thing really works well. The only times they've fallen out have been because the incredibly sticky cord catches on my shirt or the gym machine. If you're a little conscious of cord management (use the included clip and/or put hand on cord during sit-ups), they should be just fine.

I use the optional attachments that help secure the buds within the outer ear, and I've never had a problem with them falling off. I use them trail running and, though I don't make sudden movements, I do look all around me and not just straight ahead.

My experience is that they're pretty good for the type of headphone they are: quite snug for this style. I find them too bulky and hot to consider ideal during a workout. They don't seem like they're designed to deal with sweat, etc., so the getting them wet with sweat kind of grosses me out too. For normal use I don't consider them too bulky or hot, but to workout I think I prefer an earbud style over these.

try this---use the silicone buds, but moisten the tips before insertion to your ears. put them in as far as possible for a totally air-tightseal, and they will sound completely different. Not necessarily rcommended, but I lick mine before insertion.

I have not had any issues yet with that....they are well built, (per the usual with B&O;), and what I really like about them is they don't move when I work out, (I had some Bose earbuds prior that were supposed to stay put but they didn't). There is enough adjustability so you can have a secure, comfortable fit.

When I do cleans I have no issues, However when doing the snatch it does shift a little because I sweat sooo much not a fault of the headphones. Here's my tip.... to prevent the headphones from shifting or moving at all, I always wear a baseball cap and place the headphones over them. Depending on what exercise I'm doing i wear it forwards or backwards. Even with the amount of sweat it doesn't budge. If you decide to get these headphones you will not be disappointed. I love these better than any I've had before and trust me I've gone through my share. Good luck and "Lift On!" :) When I do cleans I have no issues, However when doing the snatch it does shift a little because I sweat sooo much not a fault of the headphones.

I wouldn't know why. These are common ear buds. Nothing special about them. And if they don't work you can always return them, so do your best not damaging the package too much. These are good and I use them every day.

I think it completly depends on the person. For me they always stay in when I run but my sister hates this style of ear buds and they never stay in even when she's still

As long as a tight fit remains the sound is very good. I have a slight problem with them. My right ear canal is smaller then the left. So the smallest bud fits perfectly in the left canal, but its to big on the right so its a tight fit on the right and has a tendency to work itself out and the sound quality starts to diminish until I push them back then everything is good.

Hi Julie, I just recently got 3 sets of J-buds. The one am currently using sounds just fine. Remember that this are in ear listening systems they shoud fit snuggly in your ears for you to enjoy optimal sound so you might wanna make sure you have the right size of buds for your ears. Hope this helps?
