FAQ
The best earbuds for very small ears are those designed with compact housings and a variety of ear tip sizes, including extra small (XS) tips. Look for models that offer multiple silicone ear tip sizes, lightweight designs, and ergonomic shapes that contour naturally to smaller ear canals. Like soundcore Liberty5, it offers different ear tip sizes, so you can choose the one that best fits the size of your ears to enhance comfort.
To get earbuds to stay securely in small ears:
- Use the smallest available ear tips, often labelled XS or S.
- Choose earbuds with oval-shaped or angled tips that better match the ear canal.
- Try models with ear wings or hooks for added support during movement.
- Insert earbuds using a gentle twist-and-lock motion for better sealing.
If you're still struggling, switching to foam ear tips (which expand to fill your ear canal) can offer a better, more secure fit.
Here are a few tips when choosing earbuds for smaller ears:
- Look for earbuds marketed as compact or "designed for small ears".
- Prioritise models with a wide range of ear tip sizes, especially XS options.
- Try in-ear models with a lower profile rather than bulky designs that protrude.
- Read reviews from users who also mention having small ears — real-world feedback helps.
- Consider lightweight earbuds (under 5g per earbud) to reduce pressure or slipping.
If the default fit isn't working, try the following:
- Swap to the smaller ear tips provided in the box or buy third-party XS/XXS tips.
- Try memory foam ear tips, which mould into your ear shape.
- Adjust the angle and how deep you insert them — sometimes a slight twist helps.
- Add ear hooks or wings for extra hold if your earbuds support them.
Ironically, yes. If the ear tips are too small, they may not create a proper seal in the ear canal, leading to slippage and reduced sound quality. A secure fit requires a gentle seal, not tight pressure. This is why finding the right size is so important, not too large to cause pain, and not too small to fall out.
Earbuds may hurt small ears for several reasons:
- Ear tips are too large, causing pressure and soreness.
- Bulky designs press against the outer ear.
- Earbuds are inserted too deeply.
- Prolonged wear without a proper fit.
Switching to smaller silicone or foam tips, or choosing earbuds with a more ergonomic and lightweight design, often helps resolve discomfort. Choose a stable brand to avoid this situation, like soundcore.
