I bought a pair of these about a year ago and love them, so I'm back for another pair to keep in my gym bag. These are not for high fidelity listening, but for their intended use as a sports headphone, they work great. While working out or gardening, these do the job while staying on my head and out of the way. They are quite comfortable too.
Great headphones for running. Even a fairly hard tug at the wire won't pull them from your ears. They also work well for mountain biking, although the over the ear design is a little tricky when wearing a helmet and sunglasses - still the best option I've ever found though. Well worth the money.
I ordered this because the way it was explained these head phones were comfortable and stayed on easily. WRONG. they hurt my ears and they do NOT stay in place very well, I had to adjust them constantly. So maybe it is different for everyone due to their ears and how they fit, but they were not worth it to me and it would cost me more to return them, then to just donate them to Goodwill at least them I get a tax deduction off of them.
The headphones are very comfortable while working out. However, when the rubber on the connector of the 1/8" stereo jack touches anything, the sound comes in and out, or sounds metallic. If I touch the connector again, the sound may come back, but it usually takes a few tries. That is until I bump the connector again.I would like to see the connector's durability enhanced.
I bought these about a year ago so they wouldn't fall out while I was running or working out. Then again, I got these for $12. I had no problems with how they looked, and they were very comfortable.
I run in a very windy area, and sometimes, when I was running into the wind, I would have to hold one of the earbuds in place or else it would get blown off. I could only hear music coming into the right ear. The sound quality wasn't amazing, but it was definitely sufficient--especially for the money.
However, a few weeks ago the sound in the left earphone stopped. But this was only an issue when there was a very, very strong wind. In the gym or with a bit of wind they stayed on very well.
Needless to say, this made them unusable. In fact, for the price they served me pretty well, although I think you could do better.
