Keeping over the ear earphones (E2c) in place?

[Feek]

Right then.

While I decide what to do with the possibly fake Senns I bought, I've gone back to my Shure E2cs. I've got some buds which fit pretty well and I've used a pair of stockings to replace the wax shields.

So I went for a walk. About half an hour or so with brisk driving music playing in my lugs that I could time my walking to.

The problem that I'm having with these damn stupid earphones is that the cables go over and around the ear and down behind it. It tends to stay in place as long as I keep my head facing forwards and don't look either side. If I do look around (looking at a nice bottom, or checking for traffic on the road I'm crossing) then the wires go all flappy and end up floating around over the ear.

I had the cables dropping down the front of my polo shirt and a coat on over the top - The shirt was buttoned to try and hold the cables in place but it was rubbish.

Am I playing a losing game here going for in-ear sound isolating earphones with either them suffering from microphonics or not being able to get them fitting properly?

It's just so frustrating adjusting the wires every couple of minutes.
