You’ve always worn your headphones wrong – here’s what you need to watch out for

Most people have always worn their headphones wrong. They are annoyed by the fact that the headphones fall out of the ears so quickly. We show what the reason is and how to wear the headphones correctly

Headphones always worn wrong: Here’s how to do it right

When the headphone cable hangs straight down to the smartphone or MP3 player, there’s quite a bit of weight acting on the headphones in your ear. This ensures that the headphones will fall out sooner or later. No matter how deep you push the plugs into your ear.

• Help yourself with a little trick: put the headphones in your ear upside down, so that the cable points upwards.

• Then run the cable down behind the ear. This will now prevent the cable from being weighed down and slipping out, and the weight will be distributed on the ear.
