Indeed, the plastic "plug" type are garbage.  If you wear glasses,
the "third eye" kind are OK and clamp to the ear piece.  Also worth
a look are the cheap clamp on chrome backed mirrors that usually
sell for $5 or so.
I use and like the "Take a Look" mirror that clips onto glasses
(also mounts to helmet, but I haven't tried that).  Very well made,
much less likely to get knocked out of position than the black
plastic Third Eye glasses mount mirror.

I don't like any of them, TBQH, if your hearing is good, and your
neck flexible, a backward glance is free and effective.
I took a ride recently without the rear-view mirror, and I couldn't
believe how much I missed it.

An animal of habit, no less.  You must wonder how millions of
bicyclists on earth survive without a mirror or how bicycle messengers
ever make a delivery.  The bicycle mirror appears to be an indication
of paranoia.

Millions of people drive without using seatbelts or airbags and
survive every day. I prefer to use seatbelts and airbags in cars. I
also prefer riding with a Take a Look mirror on my glasses. I haven't
noticed it hindering my riding over the past decade or so.
