I do! The standard sized once usually do not fit in my shallow ears. Always falling off all over the place when I am using them. Especially if I am not sitting still. Once I turn my head, the ear piece willd drop off. I usually will try to get the ones that are smaller. Often I would get head phones instead. Or those ear phones with hooks like those on a spectacles.

Actually they are quite comfortable. Once you get pass the initial stage of the additional hook that comes with the ear phones, it is very comfortable. No more dropy droopy ear phones disrupting your listening pleasure. Maybe you can give it a try. Not too expensive to get them. Sony and Philips have a pretty good range to select from.

LOL i hate my hair.. but at least its thick so it will hide it.. my ears dont look odd but i dont see why the stupid ear buds dont fit right.. i keep thinking about that scene in the movie "employee of the month" with jessica simpson where she shows her ears and they stick out and are huge lol..

u're not the only one.. even i have this problem often. i keep destrying my headphones, and purchasing new ones, and this often happens.. i guess there should be some facility to try out the earbuds before purchasing, as in not the actuall saleable product but something that is just the size of the earbud we're going to buy.. so that we can make the right choice..
