Fed up with buds falling out of my ears so need to try canalphones.
Anyone else have this problem and what did you buy to cure the problem?

Sennhieser CX300.
Are you talking about http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=287323&CatId=3161- they're what I've got - they work OK, but I'm not really an audio buff and I've not tried any others.
Denon AH-C252's, £25, astonishing sound quality for the money. Got Sennheisers, the MkII version might well be better, but they're more expensive than the Denons, and I honestly think the Denons fit in the ear better, and they are pretty close in sound quality.
I have a nokia 6310i, it works really well on leeds liverpool canal, though signal drops occaisionally on aire and calder.
I'm going to be commuting to work on the Leeds-Liverpool canal, so these canalphones sound just the thing for me. CHB, isn't the aire a river? that's probably the route of your problem.
Proper nana...the leeds liverpool canal goes between its obvious destinations. Though I wouldn't suggest flashing a posh canalphone in liverpool or the scallys will 'ave you.
The Aire and Calder navigation runs parrallel to the aire a few hundred metres from my house on the suburbs of Leeds. We are quite remote here, in fact even the bin men can't find our house. Consequently a good canalphone is vital for dialing up to get the shipping forecast.
denon here, awesome sound quality (i have the £80 ones)
i find i need to fit smaller buds than you'd think to make them fit comfortably.
proper fitted canal inserts are expensive and just as prone to sweat
Koss Sparkplugs. Look strange but for the price, they sound amazing.
CBH, I'll just be commuting the Bingley to/from Skipton section. I'd like to think my canalphone, when I buy it, will come with a few optional extras, such as, nice arangement of plantpots and/or manegy dog.
