Second question: for those who felt the ear piece was too short, would it fit someone small or is it too short for anyone?

Sorry can't answer your question. I bought it for my mom and she wouldn't wear it.

I am not sure if they will work for you. I do not have small ears and ended up requiring the smallest size bud available. Though I prefer smaller ear buds so they might work for you still. My main complaint with them was that they broke only after 5 months of use. Be careful with them.

I'm 5' 7" and I bought the medium. My wife an daughter are both just under 5' and I don't think I would get either of them the extra small. I think they are probably for a small child. If I needed them for a small child, I'd go with more conventional ear protection. These cut the loudness but still let the music through. Very good for performing or front row concerts. I used at the Monsters of Rock Cruise, and many times would only use one side (closest to the stage). Good luck on the sizing, I can't imagine you'd need extra small as a petite adult.

It fits over your ears, If you have small ears? It'll fit snuggly over your ears. If you have larger than normal ears, you could still try to fit them in lol

It's too tight for me.I wear glasses all the time since I have extremely poor vision. My head is bigger than average. Regular One-Size-Fits-All baseball caps rarely fit. They're nowhere near my ears. That being said, everyone has different sized heads. I am stretching them out at the moment. I just got them so I will let you know how it works out.

It was for my father. I believe he meausred around, with a soft tape measure just above the ear. Hope this helps!

I'm confused, the first person who answered said it was too small on a 16 year old's small head...others are saying its for adults.

I wish I could help you on that. I had ordered the item, tried it on very briefly and because it wouldn't stay in place I returned it. It fell off my ears every time. I didn't pay attention to the length of the cord. Had I kept it I would have. Sorry.

It's adjustable, my husband just tried it on the lowest setting and he said it wouldn't even reach his ears, so for a small child, it would be perfect!

My husband replaced the ear piece with a headset from radio shack but he said that the ear piece fit alright and stayed in. He just preferred a headset.

Mine completely surround my ears and I don't have tiny ears, also mine fit snug not overly tight , that said I've had some comfortability issues after an hour or so but are more comfortable than a more expensive pair of dewalts I own. Hope this helps.

I was about to say the exact same thing as 1Danny. They feel so small in my ears, yet they are still a secure fit, so sometimes I forgot they are there.

I think you'll be fine with small. Just make sure you read the correct way to insert them into your ear.

you hit the nail right on the head. Ear piece is still a BIG problem. I am on my 2nd one (ear piece) and it's starting to give me a problem. Wish they could make a stronger one.

I only have one and it doesn't make me feel unbalanced. However, my left ear is fine, it is my right ear that I have difficulty hearing from; so that is the one I have the Lifeear for. But I only wear it when I am around people or watching a movie. I don't wear it all the time because it's voices I have trouble understanding.

Hi Friend, I don't understand the relationship of the figure you site (.01 inch) with the AKG 4 headset. what I do know is that the ear pieces cover my ears and are comfortable for extended wear. Incidentally, I am a full grown man about 5" 10" tall which makes my head quite average...

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.
