Now, I will have to attempted to return this item taking another week to return. I felt that this company just had no quality control and sent out items that were sent back to them never questioning why the product was returned to them in the first place. At this point, I will request a full refund.

Well, that's not really the case....these headphones sound fine (a little tinny)but for 40 bucks, I expected a little more. The main reason behind my purchase, however, was to find a stable headset that let me run without constantly ruining my gait to adjust the buds, and these do that really well. The only caveat here is that the wraparound neckpiece is cast from a single piece of plastic and cannot be adjusted.

I'm hearing nuances in music that I've listened to for years, if not decades. Yes, I could have saved $10 or so on the internet, but now that I have them it's not worth the time and hassle to return these and buy them on Amazon.

But this problem only depends on when you were them. If you wear them for exercising, then an hour or so is probably the average time you spend wearing them. Secondly, the ones I purchased seem to have a slight static/hiss problem from the connector to the mp3 that becomes obvious when the wire near the connector moves, but I think it was just a one off problem with mine, and it really isnt THAT noticable, but it is there.

Now I understand that making a headphone that can hold up to daily use and sweat and moisture is tough so maybe this is the most you can ask for but I wish these were more durable. Sometimes when they dry out and I have no sweat on my head the sound works but as soon as a drop of sweat gets in my ear the sound cuts out. I am at a point now where I only get about half sound and unless I tap the actual speakers and wiggle the cord it will not play at full volume.

The design places the earpieces comfortably in the ears. Soft rubber surround the peice so they are in there to stay. The headpiece wraps around the back of the head but does not come in physical contact, however, this design stabalizies the phones and keep them in place.

I was very excited to order these headphones. They came just exactly on the day they stated that they would be delivered BUT the package was not new and oviously opened previously. You guessed it...they did not work.

After about 20 minutes I was having to take them off they hurt so bad. I would return them if I could! Love the Nike Vapor white plastic ones.

These will definitely stay in and the sound seems just fine, but after about an hour, they start to really hurt. I think there is nothing out there for someone like me, unfortunately, because I have really tried everything.

The sound is not as good as on most around ear headphones, but the style is more convenient for sporting. Similarly with in ear headphones, the sound is better, but they fall out easily and there is much body noise when you are moving. These are snug but fit nicely on the ears and around the head.

That's fine for most folks, but since I have a Shrek-sized head, it tends to push my ears down a bit. All in all....not bad. If you're short on cash and can find a Sony Street-Style headset for around 20 bucks, try that one instead.

These do the first two but after about 9 months I noticed that all of the metal parts were rusting, screws mostly but that worried me. Then the cord started coming apart from the end that plugs into the MP3 player. The next thing to happen is the sound started cutting out when any sweat comes into contact with either of the speakers.

They never moved or fell out of my ears and they sound GREAT! They don't sound quite as good as my Ultimate Ears in-ear phones, but you shouldn't expect them to since the Sennheisers still allow you to hear sound around you, which is crucial for running. There was a little bit of wind noise if heading directly into a decent wind, but not enough to be a distraction.

As a runner I often get annoyed at products that just don't stay or slip or fall off. These have a great length cable, long enough to run up and down at least once, the head piece is tight enough to stay put, but not too tight to give a head, or ear ache.

I've never tried noise-canceling earphones, but these make me think I have all I need. The Y where I work out plays music, but it is not noticeable.

The fit however, became quite uncomfortable over time. On a bikeride or skiing with anything over your ears (for warmth) the buds became very uncomfortable.

I already went through about 4 or 5 different kinds of ear buds for the gym, and none of them would stay in my ears during running or elliptical training, not to mention they sounded like crap! I tried several over the ear designs thinking they would be secure, but I guess since my ears stick out some, and are on the smaller side, none of those lived up to expectation.

If your neck is in a fairly static position and you don't have anything over your ears they work okay.

I found my motivation again. EXCEPT..... This earbuds that come with the IPod are terrible.

I'm pretty picky about my sound quality, but my preferance is towards a deeper fuller low-range with a moderate high, and these are wonderful for that. AKA they repoduce bass suprisngly well for their size.

Body motion is no problem at all. On the bench the wrap-around design sometimes bumps the bench, but it doesn't knock them out of my ears.

The ear buds that came with the Shuffle my daughter gave me wouldn't stay in my ears in workouts because of body motion so I wanted something that wouldn't slip or fall out. I've worn these for about 10 75-minute workouts and also for one extended 4-5 hour leaf-raking.

Unfortunately, after trying them out at the gym for about an hour and a half, my little ears were in unbelievable pain. :( These are great earphones with excellent sound - but if you have small ears, they probably will not work for you.

-Good sound isolation from most everyday background noise but still allows you to be aware of your surroundings on runs. -Includes a plastic alligator clip to help with cord management -sweat proof design

I was using a similar style headphone with a brand name of GPX; a low end, giveaway brand. They were comfortable, but quality sound? Of course not.

I then researched the product even further at Sennheiser's website. I've known for years that Sennheiser stands for high quality, and since this product had all the features I was seeking, I had to buy it.

The headphones and the cord have done extremely well. My only complaint would be the bright green color. I doubt that would be an issue for most people, but since I wear these ALL THE TIME and the color makes them more conspicuous, it has added to me getting grief for ALWAYS having headphones on.

I suppose there is a practicality to the colour, for example they stand out and may give warning to others that your hearing maybe impaired to due to listening to music. Or maybe the designers were on mind-bending drugs, who knows?

This is the only set that stays still for my whole run! Were it not for the great sounding music coming through them, I'd forget they were even there.

I literally put my hedphones on as I roll out of bed in the morning and they stay on all day, except to shower. I have bought other brands and models, looking for a better headphone for my use, but have not found anything better. I have a pair of Sennheiser ear buds, two Bose products and a set of some other brand that I spent more than $100 on.
