Earbuds do stay put fairly well but they can also be pulled from the ear if you snag the wire.  An alternative that many of us use is a combo speaker/ear wrap.  It has a "strap" that wraps around the flare of your ear and holds the speaker against your ear.  Still not perfect, but nothing is short of spending a fortune...

I have a mic/earbud setup like Kyle mentioned...  I do wear a balaclava most of the time, so it never falls out, but it works really well... it can pick up my voice even if i whisper and it never gives me away.  Since you don't wear a balaclava, I am sure the strap of your goggles would hold it in place if you slid it over the top part of your ear.  The only better setup that is out there is really a CQB type setup with the full ear headphones and boom mic, but those tend to have short but clear range.  The piece I use is motorola and I got it at best buy for $20-30.  Let me know if you find a good solution!

There are several different things you can do here.  Check out http://www.prymebattery.com/ for a list of accessories.  I have used throat mics, ear buds w/ PTT inline mics, ear buds w/ attached boom mics, and finally the hand held CB style mic/speaker.  The throat mics fairly work good but my neck is to small for it to stay in the sweet spot on your neck.  Lots of players have success using the ear bud with the inline PTT mic.  I have found the ear buds with the boom mic attached tend to get uncomfortable after a while just from the little ear hook thingys on them.  

So far I prefer my current set up which uses the CB style hand held remote speaker/mic.  It has a jack on it to hook up an single ear bud speaker.  When you attach that to it it bypasses the handheld speaker to keep things private between you and the radio traffic.  I like this set up the most so far.
-The handheld mic PTT button is easy to actuate under combat stress.
-I can remove the ear bud piece so I can broadcast the play by play to others when needed through the handheld speaker.
-I am less likely (zero chance) to drop and loose my radio when its secured in a pouch and I use the handheld speaker/mic.
-Looks cool.

I was wondering what product works the best for a modest budget from Motorola?  I want one that works well with VOX.  I haven't come across one that does work well.  I was wondering, what you use Mike?
Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Unfortunately, Motorola products are a pain.  I tried about 3 or 4 different mics with my radio and found that none of them worked except the Motorola mic.  I'm sure there are some mics out there for Motorola radios that aren't Motorola brand themselves, but I didn't find any.  As for VOX, I'm not sure how useful you will find it.  People get somewhat annoyed when everytime you talk you do so over the radio, expecially those peopyou want a laser, get a laser...I just wanted you to make sure you had the rest of it first.  This stuff is addictive.  Once you start it's hard to stop.
Good luck

After using several radio setups, I haven't yet found one I like.  I'd like a communications system that I don't have to think/or worry about at all.  It needs to work well, yet not be overly expensive.

I'm tired of having to worry about having my radio give away my location or be annoying because other people can hear it, so I'd like to use some sort of earbud.

I usually don't wear a balaclava, but I do wear a boonie hat, so I don't really want anything that goes over the top of my head.  I've seen boom mics that are only held in place by the bud in your ear, but I question the stability of something like that...

Enough complaining, any suggestions?
