EARBUDi Earhooks Compatible with Apple AirPods | White

These are fantastic! I've had the AirPods since they were released, and they stay in my ears only if I remain fairly still. Any kind of movement or head turn and there's no telling if they'll fall out or where they'll end up. Bathroom visits are the most stressful as I'm pretty sure they won't survive a submerging, and more importantly I don't think I'd want to stick them in my ear after having fished them out of the sink trap. While the Earhoox-type doodads seem to be more popular with many variations, I've tried those types with no success. These EARBUDi hooks were virtually the only ones I found of the hook-behind-the-ear type, which I prefer. When I got them, I found the plastic to look a little cheap, and it takes a little more effort than I'd like to clip them into and out of place. But wearing these are a delight! After a bit of adjustment to the shapeable hooks, I got a pretty good fit. The AirPods don't stay suction-cupped to my ear canal like a silicone tipped earbud might, but they stay in a good place no matter how furiously I shake my head or bounce up and down. OK I didn't try that furiously--that'd give me a headache--but they worked perfectly for a 2-hour bicycle ride and general use around the house. Also, double-tapping for Siri continues to work fine. In fact it works better because being hooked over your ear lets you smack on the AirPods more aggressively, which I've found triggers Siri more reliably. I only wish you could keep them clipped to the AirPods while charging, but given the design of the AirPods charging case that's pretty much impossible for any hook solution. One note of caution: EARBUDi has different versions for EarPods and AirPods so make sure you order the right one. Update (April 2019): Nearly two years later, my white EARBUDi hooks have gotten a bit discolored from use (eww) and they are on their last legs. From a couple months in, little bits of the "clip" part began breaking off. Unlike the flexible "hook" part, this clip part is made of a hard plastic that isn't quite durable enough to take the stress of repeatedly squeezing the AirPods on and off. The crumbling bits were disconcerting, but the clips continued to work fine to date. But I recently noticed the clipping action has gotten rather weak and precarious. I've returned to buy a replacement pair because I just can't live without these ear hooks. Update to update (also April 2019): After receiving the replacement pair, I noticed the package includes an extra set of the plastic clips. I don't remember if my original pair included a second set, but I popped these new ones onto my old hooks and they're good as new. Now I have two pairs! Feels good to have a backup, man.

The product from appearance seems to be a solution to the problem of having ear buds slipping from your ears. The quality doesn’t seem to hold up to the promise. The plastics holders of the bud cracks and is unable to hold the bud. The ear piece starts out holding the bud in place to ear but looses the holding power to provide consistency during the experience.

I've purchased a # of variations from this vendor for attachments that stabilize Apple ear buds for exercise. It's been impressive to see the products evolve over the years in their ergonomics, materials, and quality. Plus once I had an issue in the past (the earbudi plastic cracked) and they jumped right on the issue and replaced the earbudi. The AirPods are a nice Apple product, but they are very easy to lose, and while great for sitting in your car, not so stable on their own for trail-running, mountain biking, skiing or boarding (all things I like to do with music). I've now used these AirPod earbudi attachments multi times for all those activities, and the new earbudi for AirPods work well. They are comfortable, rigorously adjustable, and well-engineered to accommodate the unique way the AirPods fit and stay in your ears. I took a pretty good skiing spill, gathered up my skis and poles, but the AirPods stayed in my ears. And they fit under my helmet without pressing too hard on my head or ears (that's key). Work real well for trail jogging and mountain biking. Well-engineering and designed product, innovative vendor.

I have been using the Earbudi's for about 5 years. When compared to what else is on the market, these get a 5 star for usability and ease of use. That is the love part about them. They work well. They keep my airpods in my ear and they are comfortable. The hate part is that the durability of the piece that fits around your airpod is horrible. The only reason I have gone through 6 pairs of this is because of the low quality plastic that they use that continues to break time and time again. I will give them kudos that they started shipping 2 sets of the brackets in my last order, but I've gone through those and now have to order everything all over again. If something better were to come out.. I would switch in a heartbeat.

The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is they weren’t completely comfortable for me. My ears are sensitive, and after a bit, they did make my ears a tiny bit sore. They were, however, super easy to use and made me feel more secure about using AirPods. I was always afraid they’d fall out. These ear pieces correct that fear. They aren’t very noticeable either. Loved them.

Only had this for a few days but I like them very much. One thing that I was concerned about was the size of my ears and whether or not it would “pinch” on the back. To my surprise it was bendable and moldable like those old childhood toys with the wire in the arms to pose them. Same concept, I was able to bed it around my ears in the perfect shape and after that they didn’t budge. Sight downside is that because they go over your ears, wearing glasses or sunglasses will be difficult. But otherwise, I truly enjoy them so far. I can’t say the lifespan of the product as it is very new to me, but for the cost and comfort it is worth the price.

These worked well for a few runs then they became deformed and were no use. If you have an event you want them for, they’ll work well. If you plan to use them daily or more than a few times, I’d not buy them.

I was frustrated by the way my ear bud kept falling out of my ear. I used it primarily when I sat down and didn't have to move around. When I saw this, I was a little skeptical that it worked because I had ordered another type and it didn't work. This one is bendable and keeps the buds right where they should be. I am very pleased by this purchase. It comes with other sizes to fit most buds.
