So I just got these new earbuds and when ever I am out side they freeze. Like the cord gets really stiff and they just fall out of my ears. Anyone have this happen to them?

Crappy earbuds always fall out of peoples' ears. Are they ones that came with multiple sizes of rubber pads to fit properly in your ear?

The cord is always gonna get really stiff. That is a property of rubber in cold temperatures. The buds falling out just seems to be crappy fit, like Steve said.

Yep, any earbud i've ever had falls out of my ears when its cold. could be that its always when i'm snowboarding, since i'm moving around so much. I wouldn't suggest the "rubber pad" ones steve's talking about, for outside cold anyway. Over-the-ear headphones are the way to go in the cold

If you have interchangable rubber AND foam inserts, one size of one kind will stick in your ear.

My cables for my iPhone charger and FM broadcaster get stiff to also in the mornings. But then again, it's -35fF up at work :-)
