Stays put while running [Posted on 2008-08-15] I bought these earphones specifically to run with. I love them. These are the first earphones I have found that stay put while I run. The sound quality is not great but good enough. I would buy these again.
Best headphone for hard workouts [Posted on 2008-09-08] I've used many types of headphones for workouts (endurance runs which tend to be long and sweaty) most eventually stop working temporarily somewhere during the run when the headphone speaker gets wet. The design on these pretty much keeps this from happening. As far as sound quality...I'm not an audiophile but they sound good to me, and they are very comfortable.
Very fragile headphones [Posted on 2008-09-10] I bought three pairs of these and they all have broken within one month. They snap right near the folding joint with the slightest overstress. The sound is good, but I'm very disappointed with the durability. I had an old Sony metal band folding sport headphone that lasted for many years that I wish they still sold. If you buy these, make sure to get some plastic glue and a pin punch so you can take them apart and repair them. You'll need it.
I like 'em. [Posted on 2008-09-11] I keep a pair in my car and another in my gym bag. I like the compactness - I carry them in an old case for my glasses. The sound is fine and you can wear them while sweating like a pig and they still manage not to feel disgusting. They are my friend.
Pretty Good Work Out Earphones [Posted on 2008-09-18] I work out regularly and need to listen to music while I do. Earbuds don't get it, too much adjusting.
I've gone through a bunch of these earphones, and they are the BEST for active workouts, except for the flimsy temple pieces: they ultimately break, no matter how careful I am, sometimes in the first couple of weeks, sometimes they've lasted 9 months.
So, I got the Sony MDR-W24V Vertical In-The-Ear Headphones the same time I bought these, and they seem to be holding up a little better. The MDR-W42V's have an inline volume control, too. Get those instead.
