Will this stay down over my ears? I use a Waterfi Ipod and don't like the extra water in my ears with the earbuds.

Yes, it stays over my ears, but do not put conditioner on your hair, just wet it. Conditioner will make the cap slide up.

I have little ears so the ipod earbuds never fit in my ears. To add to this, my ear canals are different sizes. I have had good luck with the Skullcandy brand (approx $22). They come with 3 different ear pieces so you can customize your fit. They are also pretty noise-canceling, but not to the point where you can't hear what's going on around you (if you are biking or running). Also, some versions come with a volume control on the cord, so you don't have to fiddle around with the dial.

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.

The waterproof headphone come with 3 different sizes. If you wear the biggest size for your ear that will fit; it does keep the water out. I never wore ear plugs before the headphones; but I was bothered by the water in my ears. Since I have worn the headphones , the water does not bother my ears. Love this product!

No. This cable does not have that stiffer sleeve to help "mold" the curve in the cable over the ears however I've not had any problems with them staying in place. I did recently have a problem with the wire sleeve behind one ear breaking open. I sent it in to Shure and got the whole thing replaced. I personally think that the cord on this accessory should have had the same treatment as the stock cord, e.g. with the extra support on the cable behind the ears.

I really like the shuffle, It makes swimming laps fun. The shuffle has not been a problem. The problem I had was getting the smaller rubber ear covers on the main buds. I never could do it. I use the Buds that came with shuffle without the little ear buds. They are uncomfortable. They need to make different sizes of the main buds. I have little ear holes to,but like I said, I cannot get the smaller rubber buds on the main buds. Hope this helps.....

I don't wear a swim cap, the earbuds may stay in place if I did. I just can't take the feel of the caps.

As long as it's worn over the ear and you have the right size ear cushion, generally any ear bud will stay put. but not all ear buds can be worn over the ear, but, most of the Ultimate Ears ear buds can be. I wear my 500's over the ear all the time even though they aren't advertised to be worn like that, and they are quite comfortable when worn over the ear.

Surprisingly the Apple EarPods fit better. The SOLs tend to fall out of my ears easier unless I'm being still. I prefer my EarPods when I talk on the phone as well because the SOL mic is further down the cord. I really only use these when listening to music or watching Netflix on my iPad but not for everyday use.

I place a swim cap over the ear phones and it works well. I also have the earphones that have one cord and are more sturdy and that seems to help too.. Every once in a while I have some frustration with it but overall I love it!! I swim laps and it sure helps to pass the time away quickly. Hard to believe something so small can hold so many songs and be waterproof.

For earbuds? Yes definitely. Not as good as the bigger ones that fit over your head though, but very good.

No, they aren't long enough to attach to your suit, and you can't use your own earphones. You can, however, get an ipod Shuffle waterproofed. Just google it. Then you don't need a device and you can use your own earplugs.

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?

It will be much bigger than your ipod, but it should still work. There is a headphone jack in the pouch that you insert into your device before you seal the pouch. There is a second jack outside the pouch, by the arm band where you insert the headphones. Make sire you use the headphones that come with this pouch and not your usual ear buds or headphones. To make sure I knew how to seal it, I tested the ouch before using it in the pool, by putting in something about the same size as my ipod and wrapping it in paper towels. I submerged it for an hour and made sure the towels where still dry when I took it out. It will be much bigger than your ipod, but it should still work.

I've only used it in a pool. I think it would stay on but I'm not sure the ear phones would stay in.

My I pod some time falls over when I move to fast with the ear plugs in. Other then that it will stay where you put it.

Hi, I have been using it and it works, however the earbuds don't stay seated in my ear very well and causes you to have to adjust them too frequently Not to say that will happen with you for sure but that has been my experience every ear is different. I am shopping for some new earbuds
