At last, an end to Apple's uncomfortable earbuds!

Have you noticed that most ear buds never fit snugly?

One of the biggest offenders is Apple’s standard EarPods, which despite unveiling a new and improved design last year, are famously uncomfortable to wear.

Tired of constantly readjusting their EarPods, designers at Canadian group OHM decided to engineer a solution.

What they came up with is a relatively simple device named Sprngclip that helps Apple’s EarPods to stay put.

Users snap or slide each ear bud into a Sprng clip. They then insert and adjust each clip to make them fit.

‘As active folks, we noticed that our Apple EarPods continually fell out while we were on the move,’ said the company.

With some research, we realised that it wasn't our ears. We also didn't like the idea of having to buy a whole new set of earbuds designed to stay in our ears when we were active.

‘Simply supplementing the existing earbuds seemed like a less wasteful solution so we began working on a small, simple fix to the problem.

They were designed to fit more snugly in the ear in a bid to reduce noise leakage.

However, customers complained that they were uncomfortable and still didn't fit properly.

In a promotional video featuring Apple designer Jonathan Ive, described the EarPods as ‘a breakthrough for ears everywhere.’

‘Making one headphone to fit everybody's ears would be like trying to make one pair of shoes to fit everybody's feet — I mean it's impossible,’ he said.

Last month, Apple filed a patent for a pair of headphones that automatically adjust the volume of music if they're not inserted far enough into the ear.
