Unfortunately I've yet to find a pair of earbuds that doesn't fall out or hurt my ears (or both), Either my ears are shaped differently than the average or I have to spend more to find the right pair. I would use headphones instead, but they're hard to lug around and most work days I interact with customers so it's a no-go.
Oh, that's too bad. There are band-style or hook-style versions that could maybe help with that, but yeah most of them are buds.
One thing I'll say is that when I used to wear wired buds, they would fall out all the time and I thought I just had weird-shaped ears or something... But when I got into wireless buds, I tried out a bunch of styles and found that without the cord, they stay in way more reliably. Wired ones would fall out when I turn my head or just walk 10 steps, but with wireless ones, I can shake my head or run or anything, and they stay in. I guess the weight/movement of the cord makes a big difference, at least for me.
I hadn't thought about the wire affecting it, that could well be! Thanks for the input, I may have to take another look at some buds.
