So, I bought some of these iPod earphones - the squishy ones..and i love them, they are comfortable and great sound, but they wont' stay in my ears.

there's no point to this post, I just wanted to tell you that.

Sounds like you need ear-augmentation surgery. ;)

I've got some that work pretty well and, although they stay in my ears, they do always feel like they're getting ready to fall out. I can't stand the standard ipod earphones. After about 20 minutes my ears are killing me.

I prefer the sony earbuds...they tend to have the widest frequency response range, and stay in my ears better.

The only problem with them is that they make the cords for each earbud are different lengths. I don't like that.

I have a set of Philips earbuds that are similar. Don't really understand the different cord lengths. I nearly broke them trying to pull one side out until I realized they were designed that way. :)

I like the eC2 earphones, they have several different earbuds that you can select for a good fit.

I've been using these for a few months and they've been great. Better sound than the crappy apple earbuds, and they stay in when I work out and run. Plus they're pretty cheap, so if they break it's not a big deal. Only complaint is the "non-tangle" cord that tends to stick to itself.

A 5 pound athletic cup? Don't we think a lot of ourselves? :hot:

I have some of the ER6i Earphones (http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er6i.aspx) from Etymotic Research (http://www.etymotic.com/Default.aspx), I use them under the helmet with the foam eartips. I know they have different size foam/silicone eartips and the foam work just like the foam earplugs that I use. You have to roll the foam into a smaller shape and insert them into your ear, then they expand and fit tight. You might try a similar technique on the Apple ones.
