If the new buds have volume control on them, I would definitely try a pair that doesn't and see what happens. Everyone rips on the EarPods (replacement for the original / terrible Apple earbuds), but I have yet to find anything that stays in my ears and sounds nearly as good.
The buds in question don't have volume control, but I do have a separate cord that I use for skiing. It attaches the iPod to a set of speakers embedded in my helmet and has volume control, pause, FF, and RR. I haven't had any issues with it at all, but I haven't used it since these issues started.
I've tried the EarPods and I can't get them to stay put while performing any kind of activity that generates perspiration. I've found that the only ones that do are brands that wrap around the ear.
