I think the mics are in the stems, so ought to aim vaguely towards your mouth, or get piercings done to hold them in place!

I ask because it would be really nice if there were some way of keeping earbuds from falling out during strenuous activity. Is this it?

That's almost as creepy as grommets.

It holds the battery and also provides a bit of stability.

They don't easily fall out because there's no chord, but if you're doing
very strenuous activity there are earbuds with clips that go round the back if the ear.

At the gym I go to, there are constantly people having AirPods fall out
while exercising. I notice a significant percentage, though still low,
of people using wired earphones.

I'm thinking more about hearing aids -- my phone gave me a serious unanticipated blast of sound (no idea why) while I was tweaking some
settings and I immediately lost hearing in that ear. What do real
athletes use?
Hubby can't use ANY earbuds because his ear structure is
missing the little wall that normal people have that would help keep the earbud from falling out.
I've got a set of those earphones with the thing that goes around your
neck and has the bluetooth earbuds attacked to it with wires, but it's
kind of a nuisance to use -- especially since i rarely (never?) want to actually listen to the phone and the buttons are both illegible and invisible :-(
I guess what people really need is contact lenses for their ears :-(

You'd have to ask them. I think they use the ones I mentioned above.

Not sure what structure you're talking about but many buds use foam or flexible pads that sit within the ear canal. No external structures
required.

Try these. I friend swears by them as they sit on the bone structure near your ear and vibrate sound into your ears. I tried them out briefly and
they sound great. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/mp/shokz/openrun-bone-conduction-sports-headphones/_/R-p-954be525-c3c8-4832-bc7e-0c7dbeb63e1c

Big part behind the ear, wire over the top, something leading to the
earbud in the ear? I'll look...

Supposedly held in by friction, but that's not enough.
If you're really interested, it's the tragus and/or antitragus. https://otosurgeryatlas.stanford.edu/otologic-surgery-atlas/surgical-anatomy-of-the-ear/external-ear/#iLightbox[gallery_image_1]/0

Shokz. They should have chosen a less-frightening name. Interesting.

Something you put in (screw into a socket in the skull, perhaps?) in the morning which becomes imperceptible.

It's not that bad. It sounds just like normal headphones.

actually, they do.

that means absolutely nothing. nobody posts about not losing airpods.
also, lost airpods aren't always due to falling out. sometimes people
drop them.

bullshit.
airpods don't fall out even during very active exercise, with airpods
pro even more so because of the seal (for noise cancelation).
