That conjures up such a funny image I laughed out loud!
I couldn't wear the double-flange tips, they were much too 'pluggy'. And as far as wearing them on the outside of the ear canal, I read (either from Klipsch on here, or on the Klipsch website) that they were
supposed to be 'jammed up' against the ear. And I find if they're not jammed up, the sq and volume trail off. But I did get used to it pretty quick. I'm not completely unaware that I have something in my ear, but it's comfy enough not to be bothered by it.
If you insert them 'straight' - then try giving them a little 'twist' towards you. I get a really good seal that doesn't break under any circumstances. It's a solid 'lock'.
