Title: Oh, for the love of less noise
Review: Yes, the inserts bite - into the sides of your ear canal - but the technology is solid. We simply all have different width ear canals. Mine are very narrow, necessitating personal customizing of some inserts and special molds for some applications. I got the Philips at the blowout price of $7.95, and so couldn't pass it up (I've also got an ear-covering, and more bulky, Bose set). One bud hurts going in, and easily slides out. A touch of oil can help, but only if it doesn't also reduce friction (they'll fall out easier). Cut down the inner flange to try for a better fit. But be careful - your eardrum may not be as far in as you think!
