this fit very well because of the curve they have, give them a try you will like them.

I have the same problems my ear piece has a tendency to always pop off... other than that I love the headset..

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!

I have seen people simply shorten the tube with a knife to make the ear piece smaller and fit tighter. I have dumbo ears so no problem for me. But I work in the film industry and these mics are a must on the set. Everyone who has a radio uses these mics. I have seen many people do this and it does no harm to the ear piece. I hope this helps.

This headset is not as rigid as some of the other head sets out there. There is some general flexibility, but unless you alter it they make it for larger ears. You can take a heat gun or possibly even a hair dryer and try and reform the plastic, but even with a bit above my ear I don't find any problems with the comfort or functionality of this headset. Though I haven't tried it, you may also be able to pull out the ear piece, cut the tube, and then reinsert the ear piece into the shortened tube. The tube is also fairly universal so you may be able to find a tube for small ears that will work with this. This headset is not as rigid as some of the other head sets out there.

One solution for this is to have a custom earpiece made for you. I am a licensed hearing aid dispenser and have made a ton of custom earpieces for law enforcement, school administration etc.. general cost is $75-$100 for a custom mold that should last a decade+ on any radio you ever get! Any local hearing aid place can do this for you.

The tube could give some annoyance but can be compensated for by moving the clip a little farther away from the ear you are using.

I had the same problem and found that there are some little dials you can set for mike and headset. While it is still a little softer than I would like, that basically solved the problem.

I don't have a problem with it. Mine is a sony headphone from target (around $20). I would imagine most, if not all, suitable headphones will fit with ease.

I have a large head as well. The headphones fit, but the fact that I use glasses makes it uncomfortable and sometimes painful on my ears. I'm not sure if this is because of my head/ear proportions or just that I use glasses.

i experienced the same thing, you have to make sure the volume is all the way up on your phone and in a lot of cases take your finger and press on the earpiece for better listening, also the headset is very fragile always keep in charging case when not in use.

Yes they sit around ear, don't really touch your ears unless you have gigantic elf like ears. Also I would make sure to buy the ones with Bluetooth, not much more and it has controls on the headset.

No not really. They seem to say just fine. You might try a smaller size ear piece.

Yes that is generally a little bit of a problem, but it helps if you get the right size rubber buds. By headphones came with 4 or 5 different sizes (and one ear may be bigger than the other). Pick the right size and you should have less of a problem. Hope this helps.

I Have had my phone for several months now, and various friends and family have also purchased one and use them a lot and we have had no issues. Maybe it is your phone. Try using some ear buds in the phones jack... if they don't work perhaps it is your phone. If they work than maybe you need to have the company replace your headset. Hope that helps.

I have been having a problem with mine. The sound keeps kind of cutting out and cutting back in. It goes to a lower volume with lower sound quality and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having this issue or is my headset defective?

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!

I do not have small head and I think they fit on me with their smallest adjustment. My wife said it is too big for her. As I noted in the review, The noise canceling function barely noticeable.Best,...

I really have no idea why. I have had the same headset for more than a year and have no problems with it. My son also has it, and both work perfect.

I have small ears as well, so I'm always using the smallest adapters available, and at times, some of them are too big. That said, these fit me well, when using the smallest adapters. You have to make sure you use the smallest "wheel", and the smallest actual headphone cover. Also, make sure to use the rubber headphone covers and opposed to the "felt" cover. This combination works perfect for my small ears. I can wear these easily for 5 hours without them becoming uncomfortable, but after that, you do start to feel them, but for me anyway, that's the case with all earphones.

That could be the case. My Girlfriend cannot get them to stay in her ears either nor her brother. Both have small shallow ear cavities. I'd try a few different angles with the stabilising loop to see if you can get it too stay. Another alternative I can suggest is that the Bose in ear headphone grommets fit on them. If you like the form factor and are willing to experiment. Try to find a friend with a pair of Bose headphones and ask if you can have their smallest spare grommets or experiment with some other headphone grommets if you have some lying around. Good luck!

I disagree here. The earpieces do swivel on the curved headset piece. Quite a bit of swivel from top to bottom and a bit from side to side. They adjust nicely to fit your head.

I have not had any issues with the headset being fragile or too tight. If you leave the headset long enough they will cause discomfort but so will anything making contact with my ears for hours.
