It amazes me how not-well these things fit my ear.  I know they are made for the masses...but has anyone else noticed that every 5 minutes you find yourself pushing them further into your ear canal?  I do.  And I hate it.  The bass starts getting thin...voices get thin...then I realize they are falling out!  
 
Is there a cure for this that isn't custom IEM related?  I have a very old pair of Shure in-ears...they have soft rubber surrounds on the stem.  Still sound good, but ZERO bass...way way less than the EarPods have even.
 
Or do I really need to consider a set of customs or new pair of universals?
 
Thanks guys...
 
Right now, just listening on an HP computer with the BeatsAudio sound card...nothing more.

You might be able to hold them in with some sort of headband but I don't think that would be terribly comfortable. Wrapping the cord over your ear is a recommendation I have seen a few times but don't use in ear for the same issue that you have so these are just possibilities.

There's things called 'Acoustibuds' you might want to check out..

Just get an SHE3580 for, like, 10 bucks. They sound similar to the EarPods, if not better. I've heard a lot of people have fit issues with the EarPods, so this shouldn't come as a surprise.
 
Hope this helps,

The cheapest solution I've found is the good old trusty Panasonic HJE 120 for $10.  They live up to their Ergo-Fit moniker, I've never had any problems.  There are also other [slightly] more expensive versions (TCM 125 for calls, HJE 355).
