Stock Earphones

[Sleek]

They're fine, but the just keep slipping out. My ear might be too small or I might just be putting them the wrong way. I would like to know what's wrong, because it's getting to bother me. I once got so irritated so I kept twisting them into my ear and my ears ended up bleeding.

I'm not in the financial situation to get some really new good ones but I was wondering what am I doing wrong?

ps; This might sound lame but does anyone have like an earphone putting diagram.

I would recommend getting new phones, period. No matter what the price because the stocks are absolutely terrible if you can't get them to fit. They have decent sound, but if they don't fit you to the point that you are bleeding, then throw them in the trash and some new ones now.

I have to admit that's the most simple idea. For now I should I use those crappy airplane earphones?

If that is the only other thing you have laying around, then yes. Then, next time you're free, buy some cheap $5 Koss earphones to hold you over until you get enough cash to buy the fairly decent ones ($20-$40) to start.

Don't waste your money on "cheap $5 Koss earphones" and avoid the awful Sony EX51 or 71.

For fit, comfort and good sound at a good price go for the Sennheiser CX300, or if they are too expensive, try the JVC HA FX55

The earphone should just sit in your ear, they don't actually go into the ear canal so I don't think it should be that hard to insert the earbuds, but if it is it is most likely b/c they aren't ment for you. Have you looked at some clip on earphones such as the Koss KSC-75 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006B486K/sr=8-1/qid=1144786026/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-9247299-6281447?%5Fencoding=UTF8) . They have been said to compete with headphones in the $50 range and right now you can get them for under $20 from places like amazon or at a local radioshack.
