I can't keep those standard buds in either. Try inner ear buds. Sony has a good set for $50 and they come with three sizes of inserts. One is sure to be comfortable. the block out sound and make for a better listening experience although they might provide a problem if you want to walk around with them. You can still hear stuff but not nearly as well. I have had buds costing twice as much but the Sony's have been as good and they have a cord which comes a part for shorter or longer use.

There are a lot of things about me that are, well, just plain weird. One of those weirdnesses is that I have had the extreme misfortune to have been born with ear canals that seem to want to spit out earbuds. I can't seem to keep the darned things in, and frankly, they drive me insane, but my 16-year-old nephew tells me I'm committing a terrible fashion faux pas by wearing my old clunky, but much more comfortable and in my humble opinion much better-sounding, headphones that I used with my old portable stereo. I'm hoping you guys can recommend a good brand of earbuds. I typically have been using the ones that come with whatever digital player I buy, but I'm not satisfied with them anyway, not just because they are constantly falling out of my ears, but also because they sound terrible. Thanks again for any insights.
