Well my headsets broke a while ago and my earphones keep coming out my ears. Does anyone have any tips for putting them on?
 
Here's a simple guide:

Remove from packaging
Uncoil the cable
Plug the correct end into your audio device (make sure this is playing music)
Identify which is the left and which is the right earphone
Place the left earphone in your left ear, and the right earphone in your right ear
Enjoy


If you find them falling out, please follow the following steps instead:
Remove from packaging
Uncoil the cable
Plug the correct end into your audio device (make sure this is playing music)
Find some superglue
Put a blob of superglue onto each earphone
Identify which is the left and which is the right earphone
Place the left earphone in your left ear, and the right earphone in your right ear
Enjoy


EDIT: DAMNIT Benjo beat me to it :(

Well right now I have the wire going round my ear then I lifted my ear up and placed it in. Still slips out but takes 3 minutes longer to do so.
 
Get Sennheiser HD 201s if you are struggling with earphones. They are over the head headphones, cheap, good quality and most importantly, won't fall out of your ears.
 
I got the wire in this shape it's not comfortable but stays in for longer

can you get some replacement earbuds that are bigger? my Klipsch X1's have three sizes of earbud, although those sizes do seem to be microbe, normal and shrek

Or, if you have retarded ears like I appear to and no standard tips will fit you can always get custom ones made (pricey).

Alternatively do your own like I have, using a DIY ear plug kit.

Oh, they're buds? Well scrap that idea, but some proper earphones :p

Dip them in honey before inserting them in your ear. It will also improve the sound as it has to pass through the silky smooth honey.

Then once they've broken and you have sticky ears, spend £25 on a set of reasonable in ear headphones such as Sennheiser CX300's etc and use the large buds.

i know those arent yours, i was just saying that mine had different sized ear cover things so yours might do as well.

however, from that picture it looks like yours are that horrid type that rest just outside the ear canal, so thats not going to help

*edit*
just seen that they are the 2nd crummiest headphones in the universe (after my old ones). seriously, get some decent headphones for £15 or so. OcUK recommended me to get the klipsch X1's and the difference they made over my completely poo headphones was amazing

*2nd edit*
found a better pic of them on the interweb

I have waxy ears (no amount of cleaning really helps) so I have an issue with earphones, I have some Klipsch ones which sound great but just get blocked all the time which is annoying.

Any alternatives, they need to be small and unobtrusive as well as suitable for rigorous exercise.
