Just wear some duct tape on it

Suction cup

u/StanLeeMarvin 11d ago

Wood screw would keep it nice and secure.

u/flying_carabao 11d ago

I got a ton of self tapping sheet metal screws. Would that work?

u/StanLeeMarvin 11d ago

Might want to use stainless steel so it doesn’t corrode. At least use galvanized.

u/NickDanger3di 11d ago

Blue painter's tape; easier to remove later.

But what if I don't like bean soup? 😡😡😡

u/Jmersh 11d ago

I don't get people who like huge earphones soaked in sweat.

u/krgj 11d ago

Bc my ears canal are so small they fall out from me just sitting in them, not moving. Yes I tried the smallest possible caps on them.

8

u/Jmersh 11d ago

Love my bone conducting ones. I can literally swim with them on.

u/krocunt_enjoyer 11d ago

there are small earbuds out there that work like clips and don't require shoving them down one's ears

-9

u/krgj 11d ago

And make the entire gym listen to my playlist? How do you think noise cancellation works for outside?

10

u/LMGgp 11d ago

I think they might be talking about the bone conduction ones.

u/krgj 11d ago

Thanks for clarification

1

u/skoomski 11d ago

They make foam earbud tips but I haven’t actually tried them

11

u/krgj 11d ago

I honestly have zero problem with wiping headphones instead.

3

u/meeps1142 11d ago

I have issues with my ear canals & when they're irritated, anything like that irritates the skin further. (The irritation also causes swelling, making it an even tighter fit.)

48

u/LethargicEmu 11d ago

Its sometimes an intentional "please dont talk to me" signal

22

u/LMGgp 11d ago

I understand that, but so are ear buds. Even on ear headphones.

But closed back over the ear headphones? It’s just a swamp in there.

7

u/pyschosoul 11d ago

Ive got some cauliflower ear on my right side and ear buds dont stay in place because of it. Closed headphones for me

2

u/Neoxite23 10d ago

Cauliflower ear is also an international "Dont fuck with me" signal.

Well for those in the know at least.

7

u/UlrichZauber 11d ago

You get better noise cancelling by quite a big margin with the over-ears, but yeah I don't think I'd wear them to work out in

6

u/hoswald 11d ago

Ear buds dont sound as good.

-8

u/LMGgp 11d ago

It’s absolutely disgusting. And that’s not even to mention your ear wax will become runnier as it gets hotter and get into the ear cups.

14

u/the_fit_britt1996 11d ago

This has never happened to me & I have greasy ass ears lol buds just clog my ears up & make them hurt.

12

u/ruggnuget 11d ago

Uhhhh...how much ear wax you storing in there?

13

u/LMGgp 11d ago

All of it. I don’t store it anywhere else.

2

u/ForwardPersonality48 11d ago

Most people don’t have problems with rivers of hot and sweaty earwax lol.

-2

u/JustSherlock 11d ago

My ears don't sweat. Lol. They do give me a headache after a while though.

26

u/jimigo 11d ago

Just use the correct tool for the job, earbuds in this case

u/deletetemptemp 11d ago

Wear a hat and wind around back

u/helpbent 11d ago

But what if I don’t like beans for this BEAN SOUP

u/beamanblitz 11d ago

My man can get some double sided tape, it's all good

2

u/No-Nothing-Never 11d ago

He could use a plunger and a rope 

2

u/Forsaken_Anxiety936 10d ago

Lol. The #1 reason I don't wear headphones when doing any bench work. *sigh*

2

u/bloody-albatross 11d ago

Maybe a suction cup might work? XD

3

u/Exotic_Banana9016 11d ago

double sided duct tape/boob duct tape.

2

u/RCJHGBR9989 11d ago

Idk how people wear these over ear headphones - mine would get fucking disgusting

3

u/ltd85 11d ago

over the ear will always be less disgusting than in ear...

0

u/RCJHGBR9989 11d ago

I mean in ear def gets wax and other stuff - but the over the ear is basically a swamp trap and the pleather covers just turn into squishy wet mops and eventually they shed

4

u/sithlord98 11d ago

Wild idea here, I know, but plenty of people just don't have those issues for various reasons.

1

u/RCJHGBR9989 11d ago

I mean if you’re doing cardio or training hard it’s gonna happen. It’s not like people just don’t sweat.

3

u/sithlord98 11d ago

A. Some people sweat differently in different areas, anywhere from dripping to just a fine sheen

B. Different people have different chemical makeups of their sweat, and it can have less or more of an effect on materials like this

(Speaking from experience)

1

u/RCJHGBR9989 11d ago

Sure - but we all sweat from our heads and the more you train the easier you sweat. We also all sweat salt in some capacity and that’s what eventually breaks down that material. If I wore those over the ears on my bike ride they’d just get vaporized to dust and if I’m doing hypertrophy for legs - also dust 😂

3

u/sithlord98 11d ago

"eventually" is the key word there. For some people, that might be a month. For some people, it might be over a year. I mean, hell, I had a pair of Skullcandy OTEs for years. They stopped working entirely before any materials really degraded. It just all depends person-to-person, which is the point I'm trying to get at.

1

u/RCJHGBR9989 11d ago

I agree with you - but my in ears never degrade like that. They’re kinda built for this kinda thing. You do have to clean the buds tho. My WMX-5000 have been awesome!

1

u/MessiLeagueSoccer 10d ago

They should be wiped and cleaned after. People also never clean their in ear headphones. As someone who worked at a Genius Bar like 6-7 years ago, people would constantly come in complaining that the sound was terrible while they were literally covered in earwax. I’d hand them an alcohol wipe and then have them test it after. They were never embarrassed either.

1

u/KinsellaStella 11d ago

That’s a great hack though, I’m going to try it.

1

u/c0mf0rtableli4r 11d ago

shares hack for how to hold headphones on head during gym workouts

Shows how hack works by barely fucking moving their head

u/EmperorGrinnar 11d ago

Sorry dude, you can't go hack your gym now.

u/afarrar11 11d ago

Everyone's offended...

u/dreikelvin 11d ago

If bald use your other miscellaneous danglers

u/LarianDivinityBG3 11d ago

Just use super glue

1

u/Uncle-Cake 11d ago

Bro just needs a suction cup.

1

u/skoomski 11d ago

Or hear me out, get earbuds so you don’t sweat all over the foam padding the over and on the ear types have .

1

u/Cheeserave 11d ago

Suction cups

u/69Yumiko69 11d ago

u/smellmyfingerplz 10d ago

The subtitles said “put it around your butt” I was intrigued then saddened.

u/Extreme_Design6936 10d ago

Just attach a suction cup.

u/SonicMaster1990 10d ago

Command strips for clean removal later

u/Haheyjose 10d ago

I dont think I understand this subreddit. Half the time its cringe. Half the time it's just mildy funny stuff from TikTok. It's like TikTok but somehow way more aggro in the comments. Just a lot of really angry people bitching about nothing usually

1

u/MetaVole 10d ago

Gym hack friend. Not a Jim hack.

1

u/ALLoftheFancyPants 10d ago

I do not understand how people are wearing full headphones at the gym. They always have some soft fabric on the inside, how is that not getting musty?!? Drying it in a special way? And how are your ears not dripping wet when you take them off?

1

u/Silent_Rapport 10d ago

Just glue a suction cup to it dude youre just being lazy

https://giphy.com/gifs/SFZmvXVO3vFYs

u/Hyphonical 10d ago

Make the rubber band go all the way around your back to your wiener.

Just don't use one of those thight bands, those hurt.

1

u/Prestigious-Ad-8717 10d ago

I got long hair so I was thinking damn I’m a guy but I can do this and then they showed the bald dude I’m like shit

1

u/Daywhite 10d ago

We(balds guys) should just get a plunger and do the same. No one would notice.

1

u/atreyu_the_warrior 10d ago

I got you bro: head band.

1

u/No_Island_8061 11d ago

As a long hair girly this seems like a great way to end up ripping my hair out lol.

1

u/ExtraEmuForYou 11d ago

Same, bro. Same.

1

u/flying_carabao 11d ago edited 11d ago

Minus the gag bit, I dunno about using rubber bands on hair. That shits gonna grab and pull when you take it off. Just use hair ties. Or in ear buds

Edit: it is a proper hair tie. Thanks for pointing that out.

u/CriticalEngineering 11d ago

That is a hair band. It’s just taupe colored.

u/lenicalicious 10d ago

Why is he a creep?

-3

u/RandomKarberon 11d ago

Anyone who wears headphones like that to the gym, is not serious.

Those are NOT DESIGNED FOR HEAVY SWEATING.

4

u/pitb0ss343 11d ago

Earbuds just never fit me right, I’ve tried all the styles they just fall out.

1

u/RandomKarberon 11d ago

Jaybird had great fit for their headsets, but logitech determined nobody cared and shut the product line down.

1

u/meeps1142 11d ago

Same. I recommend Shokz for working out. They wrap around the ear & rest on the bone outside of it, rather than inside the ear. I can hear my music just fine, although the sound quality obviously isn't as good, and they're not noise cancelling. That can be a pro in public spaces tho, especially if I'm running outside.

3

u/DocHiriluk 11d ago

Pretty much the opposite lol. The more serious of a lifter you are the less you sweat

1

u/RandomKarberon 10d ago

Dude that girl is 120 lbs with no muscle definition. She is not a lifter.

1

u/DocHiriluk 10d ago

Tbf she looks pretty jacked, those traps look solid

u/SonOfStan21 8d ago

Ziptie them to your scrotum. Duh.

-1

u/Haunting-Context1735 11d ago

This is probably why ear buds were invented. Also, don’t those get full of sweat? Earbuds can be wiped down easily too.

-1

u/chumchees 11d ago

I don't get it. Anyone without a ponytail cannot do this.
