Right way to insert iPod earbuds

After struggeling to get the iPod earbuds to stay in my ears I decided to research this topic.. is it my ears or what ... it quickly became aparant online that it is not only me but lots of people struggeling with the same issue.



they are really umcomfortable and they leak sound like an old church roof leaks rainwater.

The normal way of wearing them: 

Some people suggested : 

Griffin Technology 4039-EJAM EarJam Earbud Sound Enhancing Covers

Griffin Technology 4039-EJAM EarJam Earbud Sound Enhancing Covers

But I think rather than trying to modify the earbuds into something acceptable to just use my old in-ear headphones.

Those Apple earphones are not well designed and I would personally rank it as a failure, anyone with appreciation for good quality music will have to agree with me.

Some people suggested the following will increase bass and mid-range whilst sitting better in the ear

How to Make the Most of Your Crappy iPod Earbuds

But to be honest I can't see anyone walking around like that.

So the bottom line: there is no right or good way to insert them and investing in a proper set of earphones is the right way to go.
