I have the era, will these help keep it in my ear? I'm playing heck keeping it in my ear with the black original ear piece. Thanks

First off, the ear-gels were not colored at all. 2nd, the design has changed, so the 'in-ear' curvature is a bit harsher---cannot wear the new ones myself. TG I also bought a set for my old ICON headset. Yet to try, though--too cold outdoors (even killed my cellphone battery yesterday). The original black ear-pieces are junk for the ICON & ERA bluetooth...is why I bought the Jabra Gel ear-pieces years ago for my old ICON---and am still wearing them years later. My biggest gripe is you do have to, time-after-time, buy a full 'kit' of ear-gels and then toss out 90% of them. Either wrong ear or size (even once you know which ear-gel you need, cannot order a few of just THAT specific ear-gel)!soupboy54 First off, the ear-gels were not colored at all. 2nd, the design has changed, so the 'in-ear' curvature is a bit harsher---cannot wear the new ones myself.

Hi, I hope you have better luck with these than I did. At first, they played great but then one ear stopped working and the other followed. It would be a few seconds of working then off again they would go. I know this doesn't help you much. I hope you get them working. Mine were returned to amazon within 30 days. Cheers!

Yes. I had the same problem with the original ear pieces that came with the headphones. I stopped using them for a couple years becaus they wouldn't stay in my ear - even sitting still. I bought the new style with the wings and they fit my Bose headphones, fit great and stay in my ear. I bought the medium size.

These are designed to fit your ear in different places. The shape helps the earpiece to stay in your ear. Just make sure you get the right size. That's the most important part. I wear mine for about fourteen hours a day and I haven't had an issue with them falling out or discomfort.

is the fit of the bud of the Sonxtronic the same as the W08? I can't wear conventional earbuds and the old sonys fit great. Talk about capitalism run amok on these prices. What a dsigrace!

Fine, if you can keep them from coming out of your ears. I have tries all of the ear pieces and they all slide out. Sound is great when they are all the way in, mediocre when the just hang on the edge of your inner ear.

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.

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.

If you look closely The Beats symbol on the outer part of the earpiece is a sticker on the fakes. You can also check on YouTube. Hope I was helpful.

It does not work well with the ERA. I bought this to replace the original ear hook that came with my ERA and this one keeps on falling off my ERA. The semi circle shaped part that connects to the jawbone is too short.

No. At least I have never heard it with the ones I have. But remember, these are being discontinued. I have been using them for years, primarily because they are NOT distracting and just do what they are supposed to do. I'll miss them when I wear out my last set.

Hi Hal,I'm probably the wrong person to try and address your question as I have NOT used mine since I got them; apparently my ears are too small for them to be used. I have tried several times but one then the other pop out (literally pop out). Without having tried the CX685 my best guess is that perhaps they have addressed the comfort/fit of their ear buds to accommodate a wider range of ear sizes? I can't be the only one out here who simply can't wear the "standard" sizes! Hopefully there are a few reviews to detail if anything new or additional has been packaged with the CX685 version.

I agree with the previous responses and wear mine hanging down. They are too big for my head as well and the sound is better hanging down.

The earbuds that came with my phone lasted about a year before the earpieces began to come apart. It was my own fault though. I carried them in my bag without a case or any other protection. So they were constantly being crushed against other things. I would say if you have or can get the originals, take good care of them. It really is hard to replace that quality without spending too much money.

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.

I usually have the same problem, but these ones work great!! stay in my ears. even when I accidentally tug on the cord a bit, they usually stay in. My favorite headphones for running I ever have had!

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!!
