These foams are really good both in terms of providing music quality and comfort for your ears, but they don't last long! First of all, they get dirty very quickly, just from being handled (and from your ear canal, no matter now clean it is). I had read somewhere that you can wash them, so I did, but that washed off the coating which gives them shape memory (allows them to stay squeezed when you're inserting them in your ear and expand afterwards). After the washing they'd just expand right after being squeezed, like regular foam does, and hence it was impossible to insert them into my ears anymore. Even if you don't wash them and put up with the dirty look, that coating wears off after a couple of weeks just from handling, which pretty much kills the ear bud.

Avoid the frustration and get triple flange sleeves instead. Nothing of the sort can happen to those, plus, you can wash them as much as you want.

As a woman, I needed smaller earphones than the standard ones which come with the ipod nano, so I bought the Shure E2c earphones and additional replacement foams for the ear buds. These were the right size for me, are comfortable, and stay in my ears, even when I am working out or running. The earphones and replacement buds were a great investment for me and were well worth the money.

For about a year I used these foam plugs. One day I started to experiment with the other types that came with the ear-plugs. The black ones are they perfect ones for me. They fit better, never wear out, and don't look so dirty all the time. Most importantly, they give a perfect seal.

What can you really say about these things...make sure you get a good seal in the ears, the correct size is needed for proper fit and comfort. Try a few different sizes and types to see which you prefer, keep extras on hand for other people.
