When using the silicone skin it seems that the headphones need to be under the swimming cap so they don't fall out ? or can they stand by their own ?

Hi Juan, Wearing the headphones alone, they are secure. For swimming they are in the silicone case and so don't really hook over the ears then. You can sort of put them in place, but that wouldn't be enough to hold them there. The swimcap holds everything secure with the headphones just protruding down a little [see swimming image]. Hope that makes things clear.

If you have the standard ipod headphone with the straight jack then they will work but wont be water protected. If you have any other headphones they wont fit past the lifeproof case to work.

No, not at all. I use it in and out of the water. The swim cap can actually cause the earphones to fit awkwardly requiring occasional adjustment. You will probably have a better fit without a cap. That's just my opinion.

You'd need huge ears for these to fall out on their own. As mentioned, a bigger concern is getting them out without leaving the plugs stuck in your ear. The fit is exactly the same as original Speedo earbuds without the earhooks. I used to keep a small crochet hook in my bag to remove the plugs from the center when they were stuck in my ear. In a pinch though, I use the temple tips of my eyeglasses to pry around the sides. It's best to just pull slowly while wiggling.

I had issues with the white swim buds that came with it (kept falling out of my ears when I swam so I use them for my computer now). I found that for swimming and snorkeling I bought the waterproof ones that hook over my ears with the spongy earbuds worked a lot better for me. Got them at Best buy 4 years ago not sure if they have them anymore now.

Yes they do, but they are a bit loose. You basically have to reposition them every time you take the headphones off/on.

I haven't had a problem with the water seeping in. I use the earphones that came with it and just make sure they are in tight. Maybe you need to use a bigger size on the end. Push them in until you feel them more or less seal your ear.

Joanne: they stay in pretty well, but not completely. I seem to have more trouble with that than most though. The bigger problem is that there is a design flaw with the plastic part that attaches it to your ear, just below the ear bud. Both of mine broke almost immediately and I've had to splint them together with electrical tape. For that reason I probably wouldn't recommend these. Sound is good though for the price.

No because it is a pocket that is open on the top. When you slide the phone into the pocket, the side with the headphones will be at the top. The phone fits tightly and will not fall out.

Interesting question. The shape of the Brainwavz is much smaller/thinner than a human head. Even more than they look in the picture. Your question is more specific to the type of earphones placed on it, but I think it is very unlikely to alter them in any way.

I never had this problem, so I cannot answer your question. For what it is worth, these have worked great for me when I am working out and they stay on my ear very comfortably.

Yes, the ear plugs are necessary if you are trying to prevent water in your ears. THe band simply keeps the earplugs from falling it. The Mack's pillow soft silicone ear plugs are not as bad as other earplugs--they conform to your ear shape, instead of the other way 'round. I agree with you, though, wouldn't it be great if the band were waterproof and would form a sort of "suction" OVER your ear, instead of IN your ear, to keep water out. Why don't you invent that?! Good luck to you. Donna

There are several different sizes of ear buds included, just find the size that stays in. I have not had a problem with them falling out.

I've not run with these, but I don't believe they will fall out for two reasons. One is they are over the ear so the weight of the cable and all won't pull on them. Another is if you get the proper tips they seal very well and I've not noticed any movement moving my head around, walking, bending over, etc. These sit fairly deep in my ear canal too which helps I believe.

My problem with the earpiece is that it never feels secure in my ear -- if I walk with it in, it even falls out sometime. I have the smallest insert on the earpiece, but it doesn't help (note that I have the same problem with the standard iPod headphone) -- is there a solution for this?

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!!

Not so much "grooves" as cups around which to fit the headphones themselves (with the 'cup' being where one's ear would sit inside the headphone). Hope that helps!
