I know we've had this discussion before, but has anyone found earbuds that work well for small ears? - Kim Pine May 2, 13:50 30
- I wear the kid size ones. Let me look for the link. -- nm - loosi May 2, 15:24
- Any good set of in-ears will have foamies that will easily fit smaller ears. Come in a lot of sizes. - colin May 2, 14:25 2
  - if you have a curved ear canal (as many of us do), no size will work. -- nm - loosi May 2, 15:24

    - I may just go for these instead of buds. -- nm - Kim Pine May 2, 14:18
    - I could be talked into these. -- nm - Mel Profit May 2, 14:03 4
      - The sound isn't fantastic, but they're light and extremely portable. - spamlet May 2, 14:06 3

        bery could chime in on bluetooth headphones, he did a lot of research on them i believe. -- nm - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 14:09
  - i use the over the ear ones for the gym -- nm - Remlik May 2, 13:57

    - I saw both of these at the airport on Monday. I almost did it but they looked like something kids wear. -- nm - Mel Profit May 2, 14:02
    - I want some beats by dre but that will be somewhere down the line. - Kim Pine May 2, 13:56 5
      - FWIW, if you've got Sennheisers you'll be disappointed from Beats from what I hear. - spamlet May 2, 14:00 4
        
        Hmm.. Interesting. - Kim Pine May 2, 14:03 3
