Did anybody else out there have troubles fitting those buds into their small ears? What about the buttons being really hard to engage?

Buttons are a little stiff. as fir ear buds i push them in tight.. keeps water out. But overall I love the product. My first one stopped working and they sent me another one for free right away. So great service also

I really like the shuffle, It makes swimming laps fun. The shuffle has not been a problem. The problem I had was getting the smaller rubber ear covers on the main buds. I never could do it. I use the Buds that came with shuffle without the little ear buds. They are uncomfortable. They need to make different sizes of the main buds. I have little ear holes to,but like I said, I cannot get the smaller rubber buds on the main buds. Hope this helps.....

I haven't had any problem at all, and I kind of like that the buttons on the iPod are stiffer than usual. This way they don't accidentally push if I lean my head against the side of the pool or hot tub.

Thank you for answering this Slush! I wish they had a picture of what this looks like. Is it hard to maneuver with the headphones?

I have no trouble at all using the buttons on my phone when it's in the case. I will say I'm a woman so my fingers are reasonably small I suppose but our son has one and he has large hands. He also likes his very much. FYI you're actually pressing the buttons on the phone as the "stick out" through the corresponding holes in the case.

My advice would be to try on many pairs in a store to ensure you get a comfortable fit. The other option is to opt for another configuration such as the ear-bud style or others which may do the job.

They did with me but I have trouble wearing those type of earphones. However my friend did not have any problems with them.

That happened to me until I went on underwater'a website and read to rub Vaseline around the earbud, then insert in ear. It made a world of difference. If that doesn't work, you may need a larger size bud.

Great! I usually adjust the volume about half way and I'm hard of hearing. This is with both headphones and ear buds.Hope this helps you. I spent a lot of time researching thiis selection. Right now I'm listening to my MP3 (Sanso) pluged into the "Aux In" jack. One of many options available.Best wishesGil

I have had the same issue w/ some Bose 20i headphones. The male it won't fit completely in the female end. I'm not sure if it's defective or it's just too small.

You need to find the perfect fit of buds to avoid getting water in your ears. I use the medium ones and I have no problem with water in my ears

Joanne: they stay in pretty well, but not completely. I seem to have more trouble with that than most though. The bigger problem is that there is a design flaw with the plastic part that attaches it to your ear, just below the ear bud. Both of mine broke almost immediately and I've had to splint them together with electrical tape. For that reason I probably wouldn't recommend these. Sound is good though for the price.

Yes, that is exactly why I have come - the headphones don't fit if you push the jack in all the way. What have you done? Did you return yours to the store, or did you contact the manufacturer?

I personally don't have small ears so I may not be the best authority for these, but I have noticed that they have a more compact feel than other earphones I have used. They come with 3 different sizes of eartips, and I know that the smallest eartip fits my girlfriends ears very well (she has small ears and ear canals). Great headphones once broken in!

My experience has been very similar to yours, as you can see in my review here. What I did was to burn them in for 2 full days nonstop and also get a pair of tri-flange buds to replace the stock ones with, and I have to tell you, the sound is so much better now. The highs aren't so excruciatingly vibrant anymore, and the bass response is actually pretty tight and solid. The sound is very good on all of my music now, and I can now see/hear what all the hype was about. What you said about pushing the buds in farther just might be what the problem was, since the tri-flanges I am now using go deeper into the ear canal than any of the stock buds will go. On a side note, is there a way to edit a review once it's been posted?

I was afraid that I had this same problem with my tablet that I just bought three days ago. However, rather than me trying to force the headphone end into the tablet, I took it back to the store where I bought it. The repair guy looked at it and took a very small screwdriver and stuck it in the hole in the tablet. The ear buds went in. He said that it looked like the inside was not exactly lined up with the outer port and by using the small screwdriver, he aligned it and now the ear phones will plug in. It's still a tight fit, but the sound is great.

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.

I am not sure if they will work for you. I do not have small ears and ended up requiring the smallest size bud available. Though I prefer smaller ear buds so they might work for you still. My main complaint with them was that they broke only after 5 months of use. Be careful with them.

Do you have one of the buds in too far? They work well at plugging up your ear from outside sounds if you push them in a little farther
