I ski with my ipod buds, and the left one falls out all the time

I need something that is gonna stay in my ear, but not one of those ear plug style buds, because i like to be able to hear people

price range is as low as possible

If you're going for buds, why not get plugs and just keep one out so you can still hear. Its not like your going to lose a ton of audio quality.

scullcandy earbuds.. smokin buds stayed in my ears super well.. and for the price
(i believe 25ish) they sound RAD.. I thrashed em eventually from too much mountain time and roughness but ya.. they were rad. highly recommended

well id say yes depending on volume.. but really if you are looking to be able to hear homies.. in ear buds are kinda hard no matter what.. maybe you could get those kind that clip around the back of your ear.. then you can hear and they are clipped to your ears so they wont fly off...

Plus the plugs have such better quality as opposed to the buds.

Skullcandy Smokin' Buds and FMJ's won't stay in my ears no matter what size plug I use.

dont know why im wuoting this but you should get those earphones where you can adjust the volume. so you blast it when youre riding and then you turn it down when someones talking to you

skullcandy as a brand and a group and shit, i like them, but i nabbed some of the inked ear buds and they annoyed the hell out of me. they always fell out and broke within 3mos of me getting them. i was really disappointed because i love the company and the riders and shit, but overall, sheesh.
no hate!

Sony makes a pair that are like $9.99, they wrap around your ear and you can rest them against the outside of your ear if you want to hear people. Look for them at drugstores.
