Do your EarPods fall off with the movement? We give you three solutions

Accessories for EarPods

As a good music lover, I had already researched about sound quality of the -for then new- EarPods that had revolutionized definition of bass. The ability of an iPhone to transmit a high quality sound Through the simple minijack output I always found it truly admirable, but the analyzes and opinions that were read about the EarPods they were perhaps a bit exaggerated to me. Until I had a chance to try them.

Yo, staunch defender of rock contemporary and the round sound of a good bass line, I wanted to put that bass explosion of which I had read so much. I went out to the street I plugged in my new EarPods, I searched my iTunes playlist for the most electronic track that I am capable of listening to until the end, turned up the volume, and put all my senses into the sound: simply spectacular.

But not everything was going to be perfect. As I walked absorbed testing EQs and enjoying the brutal bass depth and the perfect balance between midrange and treble, I checked that the helmets they did not fit well and they came off with the movement of the cable. This was a real nuisance since I could not achieve isolation full of external sound and, even worse, if I did not press them inwards, the sound was lost and the bass was blurred.

For the development of the EarPods, Apple put to the test more than 100 types of models in more than 600 testers subjected to various physical tests while wearing the helmets, so that engineers could come up with a effective design for most. However, each person is different and, unsurprisingly, their ears, too.

After having tested the quality of the EarPods not even the monitors In ear de Shure that I use in live shows already seemed deep enough. Determined to find a solution, I surfed the internet until I found a large list of users with the same problem: the EarPods did not fit correctly in the ear of many of them and, therefore, they ended up falling off. Just doing some more research, I got to three accessories that for a very affordable price can solve this problem.

Sprng: an efficient solution to keep the EarPods in place

This accessory seemed to me the simplest and, without thinking twice, I ordered it on the same website Spring. Within a week of the order, I already had it at home.

It is a soft and flexible rubber sheet in a minimalist, elegant and very functional packaging. Installation is very simple, you just have to fit the base of each handset in the rubber channel and adjust length that is more comfortable for us.

The foil ends in clip shape that stays attached in cartilage. I have not noticed any discomfort and, although it does not fix the position perfectly, the helmets stay in place without actually coming off, so it does its job.

Earhoox: a more sober and adjusted option

The brand ensures a tight and permanent fixation on any type of activity, and the device is also easy to install: a rubber holster that houses the helmet and fixes it to the ear by means of a small extension that remains within the cartilage.

Earbudy: an external attachment for EarPods

    Have you tried putting the right to the left and vice versa? It seems silly and the bad thing is that you do not listen to the song as the composer has devised it, that is, the panoramic is inverted but perfectly viable. In this way, they are slightly inclined forward but it is the only way I have managed to keep them in place without accessories, perfectly fitted.

    Each ear is a world ... 🙂
