Love the sound but the ear pieces slip out after about 30 minutes of sitting. Got the comply ones &amp; they slip also. Too big? Too small? in wrong?

I would say that the ear bud foam tips that you are using are too small. I also have the comply tips which I unfortunately got one size too small with similar results. Comply also makes sports tips which are supposed to stay in your ears better. I would recommend buying those in the next size bigger tips.

With good fitting tips, they never fall out while listening. I wouldn't suggest jogging or anything like that though. I use Comply T500 tips with mine.

Not really Sara. I'm in the same boat as you with small ear canals and they've been a bit disappointing. The sound quality is outstanding, but the ear buds are still a bit too big. I push them in and they wiggle out while creating a suction that hurts after a while. I've just switched to ear plugs that have a bracket fitting around my ears and they work a lot better and don't hurt. Good luck. Karen

Amazing. Thank you for that post!That's exactly what I was wondering about--if Shure made some of these that didn't actually crack. I'm sure professionals have many pairs of in-ear monitors but I can't imagine anyone would be happy with them cracking all the time.Do you workout at all in your e4c's by the way?(And do or can you wear them in the same manner, wrapping then around the ear?)

the soft pieces should fit in your ear. it takes little getting used to at first, but they rarely fall out during exercise. they come in two sizes (2 sets of 2).

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.

Unless you have ears like Lyndon B Johnson had you shpuld have no trouble...I Like mine just fine, and they fit fine.....And liked the other person says, the ear pads come off very easily....more of an inconvenience than anythibg.......

I think these are more of your normal sit and listen headphones. They are not particularly sporty for that use I think? I think if you want that, you might need ones that go stick inside your ears as opposed to cup over them.

I got a chance to talk to monster guys. He told that I can replace the earphones but he is not sure that if I will receive the earphones with the right angle connector. BTW... i am planning to return these as it doesnt feel comfortable at all. Sound wise its excellent but i have considerable pain in my ears after wearing them for 1 hour. I tried all the eartips, but nothing seems to be comfortable. Any suggestions???

I have the same issue. I was hesitant to get these but they were highly recommended from a friend so I took a shot in the dark and got them. I'm happy to report that this thing has some pretty nice grip. The downside is it's tight enough that it may cause some ear irritation after extensive use but beyond that this is one of the best purchases I've made.

I would call them average and the padded part tends to fall off. They go back on just not super easy. Good sound quality.

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 like the sound of these, but they are a very tight fit. After 30 minutes, I have to pull them away from my head to let my ears breath a little. On the comfort scale you mentioned, I'd put them at 6 or 7. In other words, not unbearable, but headphones this expensive should be more comfortable than these. I'm already looking for something else (Sennheiser probably)

hi, its been a few months so maybe you already got these or something else? I just tried dancing in these today and they held up ok. The freedom is amazing..but I haven't cut totally loose with these yet. I started but then popped a shoe lace. So, after I get a new lace I will see how far these buds can hang with me & hopefully update this. Thanks. p.s. audio quality and volume are like higher-end buds. Im running these with a Cowon X7. Update: ====== the cord connecting the ear buds is sticky, even on sweaty skin to some extent but enough to throw these when really throttled up. To fix that I clipped the cord to my hair in back. Now I can spin my hair flat and top it, too, without any problem with these buds. I pushed it past where I normally would have lost regular ear buds also, and they work fine. The trick is keeping that cord off your back and getting those ear tips right (those triangle shaped things that fit on the ear buds). Its an awesome device, very well thought out. If I could change anything though I would add a grove on the ear buds so that the ear tips dont slip down the ear stalk. A set of ear buds, regardless of who makes them, lasts me about month, and my record is about 3 months. So, time will tell how sweat proof they really are. Overall, I am extremely happy with these so far, extremely because they weren't just a replacement but so far an improvement. Good luck.

I have the same problems my ear piece has a tendency to always pop off... other than that I love the headset..

Well if you're doing any physical activity they have a chance of falling out (although it rarely happens for me). Sound quality is actually pretty good for the price.

Hey bud, so the earphones are originally and honestly are really amazing. I lost mine after 2 weeks. Very clumsy like that. But sorry, won't be able to answer warranty questions. But earphones are totally worth it. If you have the $$$ ofcourse!
