Does the ear band stay in place while lap swimming? I am an adult swimmer looking for an effective way to keep water out of my ears.

Yes! Best thing I ever spent money on. I bought one for my then 5 year old who jumps, dives...and everything else in the water and it stays put. It saved him from a lot of earaches and pain and saved me from worry whenever we went to the water parks.

I mainly use the band to keep my earbuds on, but I've used it with earplugs and they are even better. Answering your question, yes they did work for me while lap swimming, it gets a few times to find the perfect place though, but once you've got it you'll have no problem.If you are going to use earplugs I strongly advice using some silicone ones, as Christmas tree or other type of earplugs protruding from ears can cause pain over time (with the band on)

If you get it tight enough to stay on your head it doesn't hold the earplugs and it pulls them out. I would skip it if I were you.

Yes, vigorous lap-swimming and flip-turns are not a problem. You do need to use these with the "Medical Grade Doc's Pro Ear Plugs" (also available on Amazon) to keep water out of your ears without causing swimmer's ear and other medical problems associated with regular ear plugs.

My 2 yr old wears the ear band and it does seem to stay in place while swimming. We use it with wax earplugs for extra protection.

I don't think I have recently swam without a cap due to chlorine. I do feel that the cap does keep the headphones in snug tiight and feel the few laps I swam without, they fade in and out.

Hey Russell ! - Yes, they DO stay in place in your ears. No problem with that. This set comes with the option of a Memory Foam piece to fit in your ear. I use that option, and they stay in place all day long. If you read my review, you will learn more about them.

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

when I put it on it wraps around the back of my neck which causes the ear buds to go in my ear. it stays in no matter what Im doing. The only problem I have is when it starts to hurt a little when I have them on for a long period of time. So I would move one ear bud above my ear to give it a rest. the other one stays in place. I love these. Im planning on ordering more. The instructions are not clear on how to pair. To pair, make sure its off, hold the middle button done until it starts flashing blue and red. hope I answered your question.

I use for lap swimming. You'll need to dork around with ear phones to find ones that work best with your ears. I'd like to try the wrap phones instead of the "dangle" wires just to see. Clips nicely to goggle strap. There is a period of trial and error, getting your playlist, volume adjusted-- but I'm 50- after a few on & offs in the pool I'm a pro and love it. I use it kayaking and while doing house work, walking. It's a great tool!

Hi Juan, Wearing the headphones alone, they are secure. For swimming they are in the silicone case and so don't really hook over the ears then. You can sort of put them in place, but that wouldn't be enough to hold them there. The swimcap holds everything secure with the headphones just protruding down a little [see swimming image]. Hope that makes things clear.

The ear buds do keep most of the water out but they do leak a little due to shifts while you're exercising - that said: I'm prone to Swimmer's Ear and have had absolutely no problems since I started using the Pyle MP3.

I've only used it in a pool. I think it would stay on but I'm not sure the ear phones would stay in.

Yes, the ear plugs are necessary if you are trying to prevent water in your ears. THe band simply keeps the earplugs from falling it. The Mack's pillow soft silicone ear plugs are not as bad as other earplugs--they conform to your ear shape, instead of the other way 'round. I agree with you, though, wouldn't it be great if the band were waterproof and would form a sort of "suction" OVER your ear, instead of IN your ear, to keep water out. Why don't you invent that?! Good luck to you. Donna

I've been using them for months now and I'm an avid lap swimmer. They truly are the best invention for swimming. Makes my laps much more enjoyable.

I had issues with the white swim buds that came with it (kept falling out of my ears when I swam so I use them for my computer now). I found that for swimming and snorkeling I bought the waterproof ones that hook over my ears with the spongy earbuds worked a lot better for me. Got them at Best buy 4 years ago not sure if they have them anymore now.

I swam with mine in a lap pool. Never leaked but it is reall bulky and you can feel it holding you back on your wrist. when swimming, I used a smaller hr monitor watch for swim because that was all I needed and it wasn't getting in the way.

I've worn my hat while swimming. I didn't put my head/hat under the water but it did get wet but it dried off pretty quickly.

I haven't tried them exercising but they should stay in well. The proper way to wear them is you bring the wire up from behind your ear, looping down the front and then the earpiece pushes in. This loop of wire around the ear takes all the weight off the earpiece so it never moves.

I assume you meant ears. They do keep the water out. I found that if you rub a tiny amount of vaseline inside your ear it helps seal them. You sometimes do get a leak but not very often and easy to fix. Just stop and reinsert. Great product

In the water, I wear a swin cap and I wear the headphones upside down. With that combination I havent had the issue of them falling out.
