I have yet to find any headphones, earbuds, or earclips of any form that work for me like Phillips Adjustable Earclips. My ears are a little small for earbuds, so I often feel pain and irritation when they're in, and at least one if not both sides continue to get pushed out of my ears and fall out, even when I'm sitting or laying down very still.
I'm on my third pair of Phillips Adjustable Earclips. The first two pairs were a slightly different model, but the same make and design. The first pair I was really upset to lose when a friend's car door got slammed on one of the ear pieces. My second pair was with me for over a year before parts of my music (vocals or certain instruments) started fading in their quality or altogether from songs I listened to.
Earclips are the best choice for my ears, but most of them are too tight or the clip is made of a tough plastic that doesn't adjust to my ear. So once I saw and wore these with the adjustable and padded clip I...Read more

I belong to the part of the population that CANNOT wear ear buds. We're the minority and it is getting increasingly harder to find outer ear head phones that are not connected to themselves by a headband. I was very pleasantly surprised to stumble across these and besides the fact that they meet all the criteria I was looking for they also have that extra punch of unique that I like. An added bonus is that the foam padding is more durable than ones I've had in the past so I expect these to last awhile.

I listen to AM radio at work, 6 days a week, for between 6 to 10 hours per day. I only listen in my left ear as I use it for background noise more than anything else. The only reason I purchased these is because after over two years with another brand the cord is starting to make the sound cut in and out.
I've worn these for one day and can't stand them.
PRO: The sound is fine. It's somewhere between 'adequate' and 'really good'. I have no idea as I listen to AM radio.
CON: As some have mentioned this earclip hurts. The adjustable aspect is a joke. The adjustment is only vertical not horizontal (you can adjust the earphone to sit lower on your ear, you can't adjust the earphone to sit further from the back edge of your ear). These earclips pinch your ear all day.
If you have a skinny ear, or a skinny tall ear, I'm sure these earclips would be perfect. However if you (like I) have anything remotely close to an average size ear save yourself...Read more
