my daughter has Down Syndrome--small ear canals/ small ears. Regular ear buds don't stay in--would these work?

I would say look for a different style. I bought these thinking they were the same that I had several years ago (which lasted me for at least five years) the other ones I had were totally round, small and squishy. These are oblong and a little bigger had hurt after a while.

good question, wish I knew the answer, since I have so much trouble with ear buds from any company (it must be my ears) I haven't used any of mine long enough to worry about replacements. Stuck with the headphones. Possibly they fall out because they do not fit properly? I know that varying sizes are provided - as with all of these earbud versions - but I have the same problem with all of them, probably one ear canal is just slightly larger than the other, as is true about our feet, etc. If the company has its own website try checking there to see if they have any options for replacements.

Yes they will fit. There is a smallest size which is what you see in the picture and you can easily pull each ear piece down from the band that goes over the head to make them larger. They will fit a child easily. Hope this helps!

My ears are quite small and regular ear buds hurt me. these small ear buds do not hurt but the sound quality is poor. I kept having to push them in constantly to get better sound.

I currently use Auvio earbuds and neither the jack nor the ear buds fit into the slots as shown. However, with the cable wrapped around the back part everything stays relatively tangle-free while not in use. Ear phones that are very similar to the Apple ones should fit though.

I'm a small woman, 5' tall and I think my ear canals are small, although I am in my 50's and I think ears get bigger the older we get. The extra small may not give you the seal that you need for these to work. I think their return policy is pretty good if they don't fit correctly. It is really hard to judge without actually trying them on. I just took a chance with the small and got lucky.

I ordered these for my 18 year old daughter. She did not want them because they were too small on her ears. I might reconsider ordering them. They are on the smaller side.

That could be the case. My Girlfriend cannot get them to stay in her ears either nor her brother. Both have small shallow ear cavities. I'd try a few different angles with the stabilising loop to see if you can get it too stay. Another alternative I can suggest is that the Bose in ear headphone grommets fit on them. If you like the form factor and are willing to experiment. Try to find a friend with a pair of Bose headphones and ask if you can have their smallest spare grommets or experiment with some other headphone grommets if you have some lying around. Good luck!

try to find one the fits from any ear buds headphones, they all are pretty much standard size, other wise you can always contact the manufacturer, and let them know to send you another plastic piece, i'm sure they could help you too.

We use buds quite a bit with this set up but have found selection of buds matters on how well they stay in. You will have to probably try a variety of buds to find one that fits the best, usually the smaller the better. I have some small Sonys that fit pretty good. The "marshmallow" buds did not stay in place at all. Good luck, be careful as the volume of this head set can drown out traffic noise.

Once you find the right size ear bud they have to be pushed in tight before youll notice any bass. This worked for me although they move around a bit at gym etc

They came with 3 different size silicone buds that you can change out. I think I have relatively normal size ears and the medium and small work really well for me. The silicone is really flexible so you can get a very nice fit. The only issue I have had is that sometimes they fit so well I can't hear anything except what I'm listening to. At work I only wear 1 ear bud in most of the time or else my coworkers scare me to death when they come into my office and I don't notice. I-pod ear buds I have found to be slightly too big and they start to hurt my ears after awhile. I haven't had that issue with this type of ear bud at all and can't imagine using a different kind. My husband uses the large silicone buds and he has slightly odd shaped ears and many other types don't work well for him at all.

I also have small ears, but I've heated up the bend in the tube slightly wider with a lighter to make it a bit wider. Be careful not to melt through! It kept mine from popping out so easily. Plus we use the ear plugs called something like rockets that stay in my ears but let in sound too....good luck!

Depends on his/her size but I sort of think they would be too big. Maybe search for childs ear protection...Erik The Pope

These are the kind that go into the ear canal. They are not the kind that rest inside the main part of the ear. To me they fit like any other in-ear bud. Hope this helps.

Fitting may not be a problem. But I wouldn't suggest using this product for kids. This is basically an amplifier of sound in your ears. I would get a doctor's opinion in that case.

Yes, although we tend not to push them on all the way. Our daughter's ears kept "swallowing" her earring backs (which is why we bought these), so we are nervous about putting anything on too snugly now.
