I've never, ever found a pair of in-ear headphones that will actually stay in my ear for longer than 30 seconds. Literally, I find it the most aggravating thing ever. Do I just have retarded ears or am I using the wrong type? I've used the ones I got with my iPhone, SGS4, the new earpod things from apple. All fall out of my ear like a poop from a guy who just saw a bear.:(

TL:DR: No in-ear headphones stay in, need ideas (and headphones) that don't involve superglue.
 
Soundmagic PL11, PL21 or E10 :) cracking value for money, owned both the PL11 and the E30 and they stay in my ears just fine, my ear canals are quite small but all pairs come with about 46 billion different rubber ear buds to choose from. As long as they are burned in and equalised properly then they all sound fantastic.
 
I've always liked the Sennheiser in ear range. Most sets will include lots of earbuds in different sizes and the price is good for a good quality product
 
Thanks for the replies, guys. I've heard about the E10, I was more asking if it's worth me trying them if no others have ever worked. I guess for the price I can pick some up and gift them if they don't work for me.

On another note, I have a pair of Sennheiser over-ear 'phones but what the hell do you all do with the cord when you're out walking? it has to be 2.5+ metres!
 
SoundMagic provide a lot of tips to get the best fit and if you route the cables over your ears it makes for a more secure feel as well.

I know your pains with the cans, I have a 2m cable, plus an amp that has a 1.3m cable (havent got round to buying shorter ones yet!) and its ridiculous - just shove it into various pockets haha, or use the cable as a belt ;D

If mine is ever too long I just wrap it around the device that is playing the music.

That would work if I didn't have to use the touchscreen on it!:p I just use an elastic band or a cable tie to shorten it but it's an unwieldy solution.

Looks like I'm getting the E10's then, it sounds like I'll find a tip to fit me. A triple flange sounds great about now but I'm at work so no flange whatsoever.:(;)
 
My Sound magics came with double flanges and so far have stayed put. I need to order some new flanges as after 3 years of abuse they no longer stay on the buds very well.
 
Was looking for some nice IEM's for my new HTC One and just received the SoundMagic E10's after reading this thread and doing some research. Sound great with the Beats Audio profile. First impressions are Bass is responsive and punchy, Mids and Highs are both excellent.

Will need to give them some burn in time, but thoroughly impressed so far!

Shawrey.
