I know we've had this discussion before, but has anyone found earbuds that work well for small ears?

Posted by Kim Pine (aka Callisto) May 2 '12, 13:50

I'd like to have some to use at work rather than having the clunkier over the head headphones. Unfortunately, I've never had a lot of luck finding any that fit in my tiny tiny ears. Maybe there's been something new since we talked about it last.

Responses:

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
- The smaller sizes generally are not small enough for my ears. - Kim Pine May 2, 14:36
I can't speak to small ears, but I can say the Audio Technica ones I got are frickin incredible. - TFox May 2, 14:15 1
- i have a set from them, the big old school kind, they are indeed awesome. -- nm - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 14:16
I do better with the flexibles and those with multiple options. are you looking for i-products? if so.. nm but: -- (link) - b. May 2, 14:03
honestly, i have these (little stick in ear-buds never stay in my ears though) - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 13:52
Thread steal: I've given up on buds. What are decent Over the Head but compact headphones. - Mel Profit May 2, 13:52 21
- So, something like these would be out? -- (link) - spamlet May 2, 13:59 6
  - 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
      - yeah, that is why i got the $20 zonda bluetooth from 1saleaday. usefull for just light use and not bad sounding -- nm - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 14:08
      - I'd pay twice as much for the same features but improved quality. -- nm - Mel Profit May 2, 14:07 1
        
        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
- how reasonable? how large are you willing to accept the headphones being? -- nm - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 13:53 3
  - small enough to travel extensively with. Under $100. But I'm willing to go to $125. - Mel Profit May 2, 14:01 2
    - ok, then maybe (from the reviews i remember reading last year) - tRuMaN (oddly mispronounced) May 2, 14:04 1
      - *kiss* thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit May 2, 14:17
- beats by dre or skullcandy has mas respect -- nm - The Incredible Budice May 2, 13:52 8
  - BTW, I'm amused that Skullcandy is a publicly traded company - con_carne May 2, 14:24
  - 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
        
        my low end Senns are iffy too. lots of cord noise and so on. -- nm - TFox May 2, 14:18 1
        
        Same here. Sort of annoying. - Kim Pine May 2, 14:22
        
        I know the guys at the Verge hate Beats headphones. - spamlet May 2, 14:05
