Ear-buds, we hatess them.
What sort of freaks are you ppl? Why is it the "average" head has such big ears? Well, ear-holes actually. None of these ear-bud style headfones ever fit me. Even with the smallest of the regulation 3 bud-sizes that come with ear-buds, it's always comes down to bare-metal for me or nothing.
So who else out there suffers from ear-holes with a small "e"? And what do you use when on the move?

I feel you. Not a single ear-phone even the cheap ones wouldn't fit in my ear, so what I would do is to force it in when it loses grip again and again every 15 minutes.

Those with silicon extension earbuds are designed for sport and outdoor activities and can maintain well in ears.
Got one similar, wired instead of wireless.

I've never had any issues what so ever. Maybe they are just not for you, should try the hoop ones that go around your ears.

I've got a pair that came with a Nokia phone, not sure if they came with my new one, but they are just solid plastic buds and don't really fit in well. I bought a pair from Amazon to use with my Kindle and they are great, I'm using them on my Lumia to listen to my books at present. They cost me £2.99.
