Earbuds for TINY ear canals

Please recommend me some wireless headphones that I can actually fit in! I've been looking at sleep ones that are a different shape. Or mini ones. One item on Amazon actually comes with both so wondering if that's worth a try.

I use skullcandy active Bluetooth ones. They have the bit which fits around the curves of your inside ear so it holds it in place; all others pop out for me lol. Even the smallest ones.

Thanks, they look interesting. I'm not sure they'll fit in any different but at least I wouldn't lose them.

From them I've found some that don't go down the canal hole but sit in it and clip round.

Most earphones I’ve ever had come with various different attachments so you can get them to fit.

what about bone conducting headphones? They don’t need to go in your ears at all.

I have Belkin Soundform Nano. They are for kids and very cheap and basic; no noise cancelling and they have a noise limiter to protect my precious ears! I apparently have the ears of a 7 year old so I use the smallest ear tip. I’ve been using them for three or four years and feel like I ought to upgrade but it’s so much hassle finding something to fit.

After using so many types over the years and never finding any that work I am now using bone conducting earphones and they are a game changer for me.

Wow never heard of those!

Shokz open run mini. They sit securely over the ear, good battery life, decent sound quality.

If I don't want ambient noise I use traditional style headband ones.

My ears always got sore trying to repeatedly shove ear buds with their "small" fittings in.
