Best earbuds for small ear canals

OK all. I cannot be the only one struggling to find earbuds that stay in. Have tried about 5 different ones. Even had air pod pros and bought some $30 memory foam replacements. No luck. Anyone else run into this and found an answer?

The best fitting earbuds I've used are Google pixel buds.

This is hard for anyone to answer but I love both the Samsung Buds2 and Buds 2 Pro. I would think most people should be able to get a oomphy fit with one of the included tips. They are so comfortable I forget I'm wearing them, and they sound fantastic.
Whatever you try just buy from somewhere with a good return policy.
ETA: Ran across these on sale at Woot for a good price.

Free shipping for Amazon Prime members and a decent return policy but you have to pay shipping if not defective.

Over the ear ones totally out?

This x 100. I had the original ones, and got newer ones with little hesitation.

Just a word of caution on the memory foam tips: from what I understand, they wear out and/or tear easily and you have to replace them every few months. Huge turn off to me. I have enough monthly expenses/subscriptions without having to replace $30 eartips all the time too.

Shokz Open Fit
I have the same problem as you and wound up giving away air pod pros and regular air pods.
I bought the open fits and they don't fall out, are comfortable, sound good and have a good battery life.
The only negative is that since they are open fit, they don't have noise cancelling.

Bose earbuds were the best fitting earbuds for me. They had some silicone dealies that helped secure the buds. They were very comfortable too.

I can't find any that stay in.
So I use these...
Best Buy - Beats Powerbeats Pro
These stay on the ear, but not all the way in all the time, good for sweating too. They come with a few tips too.

I’ve always had issues with earbuds shifting and moving around in my ears, losing their seal. The Beats Fit Pros are the first I’ve tried that when I put them in they don’t move at all, even when I’m running. The little wingtip that wedges into the top of your ear keeps them in place perfectly for me. They come with 3 different tip sizes I believe.
They also have the added benefit of being great for watching movies late at night when I don’t want to disturb others. Zero sync issues when paired to my Apple TV.

Yes. Too hot when working out.

Have done this. Multiple times. Even bought some memory foam tips for my air pod pros. No dice.

dude, i feel your pain. When i started swimming for exercise i bought a MP3 player that had several fittings. none worked, with or without sealing gel (essentially vasoline) finally got a mold from an audiologist so that i could use them. it was worth it for me but also the only option if i wanted to listen to music while i swam. worked like a charm. 4 years old and the seal is still strong when i swim.
