peanut gallery request

woman with external ear phone Apparently I have freakishly small ears. The standard iPod earbuds won't stay in my ears at all, and if I manage to cram them in at a weird angle and get one to stay, then it hurts like hell (of course). So I googled and found the Griffin EarJams, which attach to the standard iPod earbuds. These work really well, except that the iPod earbuds themselves are still too big to fit in my ear and they end up hurting after a short while. I also tried a pair of Philips HS-320 Flexible Earhooks which absolutely did not work for me. They wouldn't even stay on my ears, so ridiculously tiny my ears seem to be.

So I'm asking, does anyone have any suggestions for earbuds for decidedly diminutive ears?

Susan had this same problem (maybe it's a genetic thing), so she tried a couple different pairs of earphones. She ended up buying a pair of Sony earphones at Target that she really likes. They are a set of small white earbuds with gray tips on a white cord. There's not really any identifying info on them, sorry. I think these are close: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00030CHRQ/ref=pd_bbs_null_1/104-0392371-9869509?v=glance&n=172282

Thank you! Those look like they might just work!

I concur. I have a pair of Sony earbuds myself and they seem to fit just fine. I too suffer from smallish ear...holes? Is that the term? Earhole? The Sony ones are also sculpted a bit differently so that they actually fit into the shape of earhole a bit better. The iPod ones are ludicrously shaped; I mean, how many people have perfectly round earholes anyhow?
