OK, thanks.  Is that the real long term solution, or just a workaround
while the team is still working on this?  :-)

yes. but the plugs at the headphones should be pretty standard (t-shaped  
profile), so any set of rubber thingies available in a store near to you  
should fit.

OK, thanks Arne and Al; I obviously need to look again at those.

As a last resort, I guess.

That's the ones. Mine came with 3 different sizes. They provide next to no 
isolation, and sound quite bad anyway. I suggest cutting off the headphones 
and adding a 3.5mm stereo socket so you can use some decent headphones.

I thought so at first, but on closer examination, they all appeared to
be the same size...

How to wear the headphones?

2008-12-05 Thread Neil Jerram
I find that the headphones quickly fall out of my ears.  Is this a
health feature, or am I doing something wrong?

Regards,
  Neil
