Most canalphones can be worn with the cable looping over the top of the ear, with the earpiece cable pointing forward rather than down. After a while the cable starts to shape itself, especially if you wrap the cables around a couple of fingertips before storing them. Ultimate Ears recommend you wear their phones like that, but it’s only their top-end models like the TripleFi that have a wire insert to help keep the cable in shape. I use UE MetroFi, SuperFi and TripleFi phones, and wear the cables on all looped up over my ears, and they stay in place really well, especially if I snag the cable. Give it a try, although it works best with the heavier cables used on more expensive phones.
