I used to have the shute e2c but they broke so I started using the jvc marshmellow but today at the gym one of the earbuds got stuck way deep in my ear since I'm used to having a tight seal.

Ps Im typing from my new itouch and my ear is fine now got the earbid out safely LOL

take qtip

pull cotton off end

carefully get qtip into hole of foam

tilt qtip so it exerts pressure on side of foam to get grip

pull out

I am thinking...perhaps yours is fake. Marshmellow? *evil grin*

Yes, I know. Is typo. I not stupid. Sometimes.

I second the title of this thread. I too had a Marshmallow tip get stuck in my ear. Aside from it being harder than a rock, once I compressed it enough to insert it like a foam earplug(I hate those too!), on removal it was stuck. Luckily I was at home and had tweezers and a mirror near by.

I **used** to like them, until I discovered the wonderful world of silicon tips(thanks to the Skullcandy Ink'd-who ever said those were all bad!

). Even as awful as the Ink'd is supposed to be, the tips never come off or even fall off. Which is something I have read in reviews of them, the ear tips come off. As long as you make sure silicon tips of any kind are relatively clean and securely attached, they should be fine.

OTOH, what I noticed with the marshmallow foams is they start to degrade over time. As that happens, they get mushy and do not stay on the stem as well.

So, in summation I'd say: Steer clear of foam tips, they blow big time. If you want a cheap replacement that won't get left in your ear, look at the "JVC Air Cushion" earphones. They come with three sizes of silicon tips. Silicon tips are much, much better.

I used my wife's Marshmallow a few times and had no problems. They sound pretty OK for the price too--with the expected hype in the bass and high's for that disco smile EQ curve sound that all low-end products usually have.

 

[nickdawg]

Yea, they were OK sounding, not bad for something so cheap. But they blew chunks in comfort. They last a long time, since I don't wear them often, but if they were my everyday phones, they'd be worn out in no time. Foam tips suck. They don't appear to be washable(without trashing them) and they get a bit nasty after awhile. Plus you only get one extra pair, and it is a smaller size with the newer models

.

That's why I'd recommend the FX-66 JVC Air Cushion to the OP. They come with multiple silicon/rubber ear tips that are washable and a hell of alot more comfortable than foams.

 

[TacticalPenguin]

Foam tips in general generally aren't like the marshmallows' tips - most foam tips have a plasticlike tube in the center that often stays on the tips better than silicon tips.

I couldn't even get the stock marshmallow tips to fit inside my ears at all. I went and bought some e2c orange foamies yesterday and it fits the marshmallows fine, as long as you remove that rubber part. It's pretty comfortable and gives a good seal.

I detubed Shure olives for my wife's Marshmellow, they are easier to get a seal (thus sound better) and they are washable. So far it hasn't came off the tube yet.

Good post. I appreciate it
Many thanks to ur post. I love it.

 

[muxenle]

not sure if they where marshmellows but I've had more or less the same thing happen to me too, though they weren't in very deep so I could get them out pretty easily, though it was still a pain...
