Cordless earbuds are convenient. When earbuds get caught on something, they'll come flying out of your ears, but otherwise, they usually stay in your ears well enough. Even doing a spin is totally fine But if you keep spinning faster and faster... Eventually, your centrifugal force should be able to pull out your earbuds. So how fast would you have to spin for your earbuds to fall out? Centrifugal force is determined by mrω² m = mass of an earbud r = radius (earbud's distance from the axis) ω = angular velocity First, measure the force required to remove the earbuds. I used this spring scale to measure it. Make sure that your earbuds' tip covers are on correctly Pull straight It took 0.73 newtons to remove the earbud. (plus or minus 0.007) So if we take one 5.4g earbud and gradually increase its weight... it should separate when it goes above 74g, which is about the weight of a large egg. Now, let's make the person wearing these earbuds spin at high speed. Keep in mind, the axis of rotation is the point directly between both earbuds. I made it a fixed axis so it won't wobble no matter how fast he goes. I'm going to gradually increase the rotations per second. The earbuds fell out after passing 6.5 rotations per second. At the point of exit, the earbuds were being subjected to 13.8 Gs of force. Let's put this speed into perspective. Looking up the figure skater records for jumps, even Yuzuru Hanyu, who is going for the quadruple Axel, is said to have 5.71 revolutions per second. So even a Hanyu-level spin, which you're looking at now, it's safe to say your earbuds probably won't come out. On the other hand, the glasses (20g)... started to shift at about 0.6N. Earphones fall out > Hanyu spin > Glasses slip off So, since spinning almost definitely won't make your earbuds come out, all you have to worry about is them getting caught on something.
