Does the ear band stay in place while lap swimming? I am an adult swimmer looking for an effective way to keep water out of my ears.

Yes! Best thing I ever spent money on. I bought one for my then 5 year old who jumps, dives...and everything else in the water and it stays put. It saved him from a lot of earaches and pain and saved me from worry whenever we went to the water parks.

I mainly use the band to keep my earbuds on, but I've used it with earplugs and they are even better. Answering your question, yes they did work for me while lap swimming, it gets a few times to find the perfect place though, but once you've got it you'll have no problem.If you are going to use earplugs I strongly advice using some silicone ones, as Christmas tree or other type of earplugs protruding from ears can cause pain over time (with the band on)

If you get it tight enough to stay on your head it doesn't hold the earplugs and it pulls them out. I would skip it if I were you.

Yes, vigorous lap-swimming and flip-turns are not a problem. You do need to use these with the "Medical Grade Doc's Pro Ear Plugs" (also available on Amazon) to keep water out of your ears without causing swimmer's ear and other medical problems associated with regular ear plugs.

My 2 yr old wears the ear band and it does seem to stay in place while swimming. We use it with wax earplugs for extra protection.

I think it'll depend on what you're doing, and also how your ears are shaped. The plug in my right ear is air tight (no water gets in) and stays that way, even when I use this for wake sports and take high speed falls. I might need to play with the sizes more on my left ear, though. Make sure to try the different rubber tips, but you might be lucky and get a good air tight seal.

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.

when I put it on it wraps around the back of my neck which causes the ear buds to go in my ear. it stays in no matter what Im doing. The only problem I have is when it starts to hurt a little when I have them on for a long period of time. So I would move one ear bud above my ear to give it a rest. the other one stays in place. I love these. Im planning on ordering more. The instructions are not clear on how to pair. To pair, make sure its off, hold the middle button done until it starts flashing blue and red. hope I answered your question.

It comes with several different sized ear pieces. After a bit of experimenting I found the one that fit best and it stays in pretty well. I don't think they would stay in during exercise but walking is fine. Just used them on a long haul flight to Asia and they were comfortable the whole time. Ear size might make a big difference so YMMV.

I haven't had any problems at all with falling out of my ears. And I mainly run trails so there is some jumping over rocks and tree roots if that helps. The band that goes around the back of your neck also goes over the ears and prevents falling out.

There is an over the ear guide accessory included that solves this problem. That being said, I have not had a problem with them falling out, either way. They are a bit heavy, so you'll need to find a good fitting tip (which should be easy enough with all the accessories they provide). Once you find a proper fitting tip, it shouldn't be an issue.

Wear a swim cap or a headband when doing water aerobics. Mine still works after 8 months, over 100 swims, for sure, including wearing it when I take a long pre-swim warm-up shower, completely submerged when I swim a length along the bottom of the pool. No worries. It is waterproof.

I am not sure you would want to wear others in the water. But out of water, sure. The headphone cord is nice and short so you can clip it to goggles. And it comes with an extension. It also comes with various types of buds so one should fit your ears.

I've been using them for months now and I'm an avid lap swimmer. They truly are the best invention for swimming. Makes my laps much more enjoyable.

I'm having the same problem - closing off my ear canal. Did you find a solution or different product that stay put but don't have the same issue?

Technically No..The headsets wraps around your ears, but using a swim cap will give a secure fit.

I dont necessarily feel water enter, but I do have an issue with air pockets. Even going to a smaller size, I still had sir pocket issues. With that said, it did help keep my upper body earmer. Very cold pool, I don't think it would provide enough warmth.

No it stays in place very well. Mine came with three different ear fittings. Fits well and stays in even during running.

No issues. I push the clips well on the band so as to give the upper part leverage/purchase. I have them just forward of the ear holes. I bought better goggles. The side pieces caused my speedo goggles to leak. The net said Aquasphere Kayenne are best and they are in fact good. No leaks minimum pressure. You need earplugs. I use EAR express pods. These are sound PPE infact (factories, building sites etc), but just happen to work very well and comfortably as water plugs. They are about $1 each reusable/washable.

Always check the reception based on where you intend on swimming. I have at least 1 NPR station that comes in clearly in my locality. I enjoy swimming with mine but have to keep the earbud wires tucked under my goggles strap because the friction from my shoulder rotation on the wire occasionally tugs the earbuds out. I definately enjoy the motivational boost of swimming with my MP3 playlist.

I find it sits in the ear pretty well, the plastic loop can tend to be a bit irritating to your ear at first. I have never had mine fall out, as I have with others.
