Thank you for your description detailing the position of the earpiece loop. I readjusted the earpiece so the loop would go in as you described, and it appears to have eliminated the discomfort problem.

My problem with the earpiece is that it never feels secure in my ear -- if I walk with it in, it even falls out sometime. I have the smallest insert on the earpiece, but it doesn't help (note that I have the same problem with the standard iPod headphone) -- is there a solution for this?

the inserts do not go into the ear canal. the loop on the earpiece sets in the fold of the ear just above the earlobe. It just hangs in place.. takes some getting use to. but that way it isnt cutting out any of the sound around the wearer.

Thanks for the instructions, because I was having the same problem:) I readjusted and it's perfect now:)

I agree. I can't get this thing to fit securely. Is it possible that my ear doesn't have the fold required?

My Jawbone Icon came with small, medium and large. But the wife and I personally use the Jabra Eargels.

I know, I don't like the foam ones either. But there is another alternative I found and been using and far more comfortable! They are the TV Ears Rubber Silicone Extra/Replacement Ear Tips. They're really good though you fork out cash more but it's worth your comfort. Hope this helps.

I used them, and I inserted them correctly (rolled them up into a tight cylinder then put them in my ear). In the morning, my ears hurt, even for a little while after I took the ear plugs out. I think I must have small ear canals -- when I buy headphones that have different-sized ear pieces, I always have to use the smallest ones. Anyway, I would say they are not comfortable for smaller ears.

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 got a chance to talk to monster guys. He told that I can replace the earphones but he is not sure that if I will receive the earphones with the right angle connector. BTW... i am planning to return these as it doesnt feel comfortable at all. Sound wise its excellent but i have considerable pain in my ears after wearing them for 1 hour. I tried all the eartips, but nothing seems to be comfortable. Any suggestions???

I called up the manufacturer because my dog ate some of the ear bud tips. They sent me a bunch at no charge. My best guess is that they'll work with you. Regarding the sound deterioration, I haven't yet had that problem although I've been using mine for about a year. I have found that minuscule amounts of water in your ears end up inside the ear buds and destroy especially the lows. Putting moisturizer in my ears before a swim keeps a tight seal.

I just put on a set of EDT250V pads, they do fit. However, the sound is slightly altered. It is slightly more scooped (more mid-range absorbed by the Beyerdynamic pads). Anyone try something different? I want a pad that gives a little more room and comfort so my ears don't touch the harder plastic.

Roberta, the only problem you might have is how short they are...might make it harder than the lavender-colored plugs. All of them require you compress them with your fingers, or possibly roll them with the heel of your hand before insertion to your ear....

I went to Radio Shack and bought the Jabra brand Gel inserts. They fit great and are more comfortable. They come in a pack of 3 sizes left and right ear for 8.99.

The Plantronics Legend I got wasn't in retail packaging so only came with one ear piece. I ordered a package of mediums separately which were slightly larger diameter (about 1/2in), and came with foam covers which weren't in the original packaging. Both seem to be fine although I think the medium with foam may be a bit better under noisy conditions.

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!

They come with (3) different size ear pieces to fit different ear canal openings. I bought one over 2 years ago...never had a problem with it...lost it...had to buy these...not happy! Came in a pair, first one died in a week. 2nd one....we'll see.

Just go to Amazon.com and type ear foam pads, there will be a lot of options to choose from. They were exactly what I was looking for, I am really pleased with the product!

I modified the expensive aids I had. The tube from the aid plugs into the insert, you use these instead of the ear plugs that are provided. The inserts are made for and to fit your ear. There are hearing shops that make them I was going to start with Costco before the internet. In a week or so you forget the ear inserts there. Get outside air hole.

Why would you ask about MOST hearing aides unless you are a professional dealing with many different hearing aides. I am simply a user and have only one kind of hearing aid. So unless you ask about a specific brand I am unable to be of help,

My ear pad cushions have reached their end and to avoid paying around $30, I checked out some similar ear pads on amazon. I bought these (http://amzn.com/B00B1YWIZ4) and they fit the frame fine. They aren't exactly the same size, but they fit close enough. The foam is a bit stiffer, but I haven't noticed any significant differences. You might also try these (http://amzn.com/B00B6Z9BN0) though they don't have fabric across the ear hole. As J. Lin commented, a 7cm diameter seems to be close enough.
