Are there better ear buds than the foam ones provided? They're not comfortable!

Yes, there are better ear buds, but you have to make them yourself.I took a piece of 1/2'' foam rubber, cut out a small circle, just large enough to extend beyond the ear phones. Remove the original ear bud, But not the plastic part. Poke a small hole in your foam piece and force it down over the ear phone. If you use a soft foam this should be more comfortable.

I know, I don't like the foam ones either. But there is another alternative I found and been using and far more comfortable! They are the TV Ears Rubber Silicone Extra/Replacement Ear Tips. They're really good though you fork out cash more but it's worth your comfort. Hope this helps.

Off hand I would say no. The ear cups are cloth and the head band is also. They will soak up sweat and get crusty. Personally I would stick with ear buds.

Amazon used to carry replacement foam ear buds. I haven't look lately. Also, many music stores have them as well but they are kind of generic and don't really last long. I can't answer about the mic cable.

Yes, I have to admit earbuds aren't very comfortable because they lack a good ergonomic design, i.e., comfort that you have with traditional headphones. They suit the purpose of a hands-free device.

These ear buds are really large and the foam cover is very thin. I removed the foam (hoping the buds would fit my ears better) and the sound was still fine. For me the fit was still very poor.

I've lost almost all my buds. The foam tips are the only ones that don't budge; they obviously have a better grip to them, but foam is a personal preference.

I'm sorry, I didn't keep these because I felt the overall sound was not worth the price at the time. I can't comment at this point since it was a little better than some I had tried. I believe I kept the lady gaga heartbeats and am happy with those. None of this level ear buds are truly noise cancelling... some sound isolation, but not truly performance level if that's what you're looking for. It's probably safer for a walk around pair to have some awareness of surrounding noises.

Not compared to some shallower, softer ear buds. The Sony's and Panasonic's at under $10 have good fidelity and extend less further from the ear. These would not be my first choice for sleeping, even with just one of the buds resting in my open ear. The stiffness of the zipper tends to get in the way. Not that they're bad (they can't be everything)--just that there are better alternatives for situations like that.

They isolate sound pretty well, and pretty soon I will be getting replacement ear pads from beyerdynamic, which are said to feel better, and provide a bit better sound isolation. I will let you know more when I get them.

When I got mine, the buds that were on it fit well for me! They supplied with my ear buds a good selection of them ! Every set of ear buds that i have had were smaller and after time came loose! What I do to secure them better is moisten the buds and put my thumb on the rubber part on the casing that indicates right or left and wiggle them so they seat well! Movement of your head and the cord catching on something can cause the problem to I still have to adjust them here and there! I really don't think about it much! I just enjoy them . I hope this helps!!

Just go to Amazon.com and type ear foam pads, there will be a lot of options to choose from. They were exactly what I was looking for, I am really pleased with the product!

Personally, I found it very uncomfortable. I only tried 2 sizes(which I picked using the fact that I usually wear medium/small sized clothes).Both of them were comfy initially, but after 3-4 hours, my ears were hurting. Plastic can never be as soft a silicone(Bose).I bought the Bose Sie2 instead. I often use them for 8-9 hours a day with no discomfort at all.

I got mine on ebay. The bose ear buds are definetly more comfortable but they didn't stay in as well.

Yes but I prefer to make mine by boring a small hole in the center of foam earplugs. More comfortable and less feedback.

I've fallen asleep with these a few times... not comfortable enough to keep in all night. I would recommend a shallower body style ear bud, that Comply Foam makes ear tips for. It's basically memory foam and is fantastic for canceling-out noise.

No actually thats how I would wear them before and never noticed a problem with sound.but to answer your question, no issues on how you wear them. Foam buds worked better for my ears. I ended sending them to inearcentral and turned them into personal inear monitors. I recommend you try it. worth the $150 the 3 drivers on this set are great for monitors.
