Most of the reviews talk about how uncomfortable the triangle design is on the ear. Is there any way to take them off without destroying them?

The triangle design isn't felt if the correct ear bud is used. They come with different sizes of ear buds to fit your ear comfortably :)

No. It's not just that it's uncomfortable, but that they don't stay in because of the extra weight from the triangle. You can't take it off.

Unfortunately no. You can only take off the ear bud to adjust size. None of which worked for me, and I was shocked.

Maybe consider taking the ear buds off completely. Then to keep them in place use the speedo silicone ear plugs. All I can think of.

I didn't have any trouble pulling the ones off and putting the other set on and were friction fit, just make sure you are pulling on the outermost insert that goes in the ear, but I don't recommend these ear buds and plan on going back to apple original.

Dear Al, thanks for your inquiry, and yes we do pride ourselves as having one of the highest dB rating for high fidelity earplugs. As for the removing them, what we would suggest is try not inserting the earplugs too deep into the ear canal and see if the isolation is still equally good, as inserting them too deep might make removing them a bit more challenging because of the inconspicuous size. Another option is to attach the cord to it so that the tip extends out further and allows easier removal, however in your case where the cord is not appropriate, you can try cutting away the cord, and leaving just the connector tip on to act as a longer ear tip. Hope that helps!

I wear glasses as well, headphones and glasses just do not get along. My issue is the cords and putting glasses on and off while wearing them. I think over ear are more comfortable while wearing glasses but these are less troublesome when removing or putting on glasses. Unless using a portable player the shorter cord on these can be a problem if you move around while listening. I must be lucky cause neither these nor my other headsets cause discomfort during long listening sessions. For most, though, the only way to get around it is to wear in ear buds but they have their own problems.

Just as a note, you actually rotate the cable end clockwise in place to unlock it so you can pull it out, and rotate it counterclockwise to re-lock it once you push the tip back in. I tried to actually pull the cable end so that it would be perpendicular to the ear cup, and ended up nearly damaging it. Then I saw this youtube video that shows you how to do it with the HD5X8 series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udFKo88ISeoHopefully Amazon's filters won't remove the link.

My thought too - I actually returned a set because I couldn't get to fit and then later tried it again. You have to work it onto the post - but they actually do fit - and very tightly which is what you want. BTW - I love these. I have very small ear canals and have never been able to get ear buds to work. The standard Apple buds are a total waste of money on someone like me. I'm glad that there are companies like Comply that actually think about this stuff.

Not really. The ear piece disconnects at the headband, so while you could technically do it, the headset would not subsequently be comfortable to wear. Hth.

try this---use the silicone buds, but moisten the tips before insertion to your ears. put them in as far as possible for a totally air-tightseal, and they will sound completely different. Not necessarily rcommended, but I lick mine before insertion.

I have broken all my metal ear loops I had, and I had the same problem so I decided to use Jabra eargels and it was the solution to this problem. Just put one of them instead the one provided by Jawbone and it will work decently. The other option if you don't want to try anything new would be to use the smaller ear loop.

Not sure because I've only had them a month but they are uncomfortable. Maybe my ears are small. My 18 month old was able to remove the actual bud. Pretty cheap.

Contact BOSE directly - they will create a case for you and reply very quickly. I have fairly large ears ..and these go completely over the ears and barely touch my ears. So, they are designed to 'cup' over each ear and not sit on top as to crush or flatten the ear down like some will do;

I only used "TV Ears" for about 1 year before getting regular hearing aids (which in my case work better). I had no problem with the foam rubber tips falling off. I made myself a couple of little covers (kind of like miniature pillow cases) out of very soft cloth and covered the tips with my covers while using the "TV Ears". That way the tips would not get dirty (replacements would have been expensive). When my covers got dirty I merely hand washed them and dried them and they were good to go for awhile. I don't know if my little covers helped keep the tips on but I had no problems except ongoing discomfort due to the weight of the TV Ears hanging from my ears which took some time to get accustomed to.

If you get them don't wrap the wire around them, instead just lay them in a pile. I've found that if you wrap the wire around them it will break the plastic on the earpiece. This is my fith pair of these, But honastly they are the best sound quality over all!

I have not experienced cord noise with this set, I did a bunch of research on these prior to purchase and many write up's warned of a fragile connection, while many others indicated its not a problem if you follow the instructions for inserting into your ear and more importantly removing them, its simple, Shure doesn't recommend using the cord to pull them from your ear, simple enough, use the body of the earbud to remove.

The ear piece can be removed. There is a fine slit that the wire can be pulled out of. I did not try to bend mine but I don't think you can. I have small ears so I found a head band worked best to hold the ear plugs in while swimming.

Now I'm really confused! According to the CNET review, this is an "over the ear" type of bluetooth headset. I don't think I can stand to have an earbud stuck in my ear. Nuts, and I was just about to buy the silly thing too! Any ideas out there for those of you who can't stand to have anything stuck in your ears?Help!Carol
