Anyone out there, petite female who wears them for running? I was wondering if they look big in the ear and are too heavy?

They are not big in the ear and they have a clip to hold them in place. When you try to pair them with your iphone, ipad or any other wireless device, be sure you turn off the bluetooth from any other nearby device (one you do not want to pair with) or you will have problems pairing with the device you want to use. The OT Buds seek out the nearest device and could cause a conflict with any nearby device. It took me year ot figure this out. Otherwise, once they pair, they work well.

I am neither female nor petite; however, I found these to be too big and heavy nonetheless. I returned them and got some by X-Series (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FIL0T3O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). I am much happier with these. They are still much larger than standard ear buds, but were smaller than Tags.

They are about the same size as the Plantronics M165 bluetooth ear peice. They are very small, and come with 3 different sizes of ear plugs for a nice custom fit. The quality of sound is amazing. I highly recommend this product. If you are considering buying these, do it, you will be glad you did. Hope this helps. Have a great day

They don't stay in with out the hooks. It's not a fault, it's just the way they're shaped. Runners do better with a behind the head Bluetooth option, or one with a collar that rests on the shoulders.

Yes, they are very comfortable for running, and there is very little risk of it slipping off of your ears. The best part is...there is a lifetime warranty from sweat!

As a woman, these headphones did not fit my head. The band was too big so if I hooked one of my ears the other ear's piece would fall down. The only time I was able to get the ear pieces to stay on my head (which was difficult) I had the ear pieces resting on both of my ear lobes. On the other hand, these headphones fit men well. Both my father and boyfriend had no trouble wearing these.

Somewhat that is true. I have a small head and they're fine unless you move around a lot. I still prefer these to other headphones that too tight though, especially when wearing spex. I can wear these all day with no discomfort, they don't push against the spex and they don't make you sweat.

Hey Kevin, they are pretty good for running as I know this from experience. The ear cushion is soft, so it won't rub your ears roughly. Their only downfall, I think, when it comes to fitness is that they may make you ears sweat a little because of the material the cushion is made of. But I will deal with that part because of how soft the cushion is. Other than that, they are A1 in my book!!

I agree with Keith. I'm using them right now, these things are in my ears all the time. I'm not sure they'd be great for running, unless they were under a shirt, but for lifting they're fine. If you're up for the investment, I'd recommend these to anybody and everybody.

They do not fit tight, you could run and hear everything. If you keep it looped around the ear, you can jog like that, but it is not as stable.. Walking with it completely out is very unstable. It does not fit into the ear canal like the LG 700 series and is built so you can run and still be aware of your surroundings

They are kind of bulky but may work for running... just speakers blow out very quickly and easily. I bought them for my son.

I'm 5'3" and find them too big. Even doing as the instructions say doesn't help much, as it just doesn't slide in smoothly when rolled into a tight cylinder (again, I have small ear canals, I suppose). I really have to mess with them to get them in. Sometimes I wake up and my ear canals are kinda itchy, so you may want to take that into consideration, as well (I forgot to mention that in my original post).

I bought a pair for both my teenage daughter and myself, she likes them better then I do. They seem to fall out of my ears easily (I haven't worn them much) and she told me the same thing but after wearing them several times they now stay in her ears and she likes them a lot more. So I'd so they're okay but not the best for exercising.

After having them for a while, they are very good for running. But the trick is to have the stabilization tab set for your ears. I always have to readjust them for the perfect fit. As a matter of fact I just got through cutting grass and sweated pretty good. No problem with them staying in my ears. If you get them once you and play with them a while you will figure out what angle to put the stabilizer in for the perfect fit. You will also know when you got a good fit because they sound awsome! They are best I have had so far. I have LG730 and they always have a tendency to fall out after sweating, so I stopped wearing them for workouts. I think these are a good buy.

Well I just wore them at the mall and could only hear my music, and they are pretty chushy over the ears, never once felt uncomfortable to me. The sound is really good and surprises me sometimes. I use them for the radio app on my cell phone and it sounds great.

Agreed with Dolores. They squeeze enough to hold on, but the looping over the ears is what really secures them, and frankly makes them better for jogging (for me) than any other style I've tried.

I usually have the same problem, but these ones work great!! stay in my ears. even when I accidentally tug on the cord a bit, they usually stay in. My favorite headphones for running I ever have had!

I bought them for my girlfriend and I must say that they fit her pretty much over the ear. I do believe they're supposed to be designed to go above the ear though. Buy them! The sound is quality!

As the other person said, they probably are too big for you. I do not walk or run with them, just do floor and sitting exercises, and they move around some even if I tighten them as much as possible.
