Customer Review: Best headphones EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought 10 pairs of headphones and this is the only pair I ever bought a third time. My cat keeps finding them and chewing them to bits.
Why I like this pair:
1. The part that goes in my ears actually fits.
2. The headphones stay on my head.
3. I can put my MP3 player on the lowest volume and everything sounds great!
Every other pair I tried just didn't work. Any pair of ear buds I ever tried fell out of my ears. Any pair of foldable headphones folded on my head while I was wearing them.
If ear buds fall out of your ears and you want small headphones with great sound, this is the pair for you!
Customer Review: My favorite headphones!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using these headphones for years! As with all headphones, the wires are subject to breakage when pulled, so I keep an extra pair or two available. They last for 2-3 months of fairly heavy usage. I listen to audiobooks and music while I'm ironing, cooking, knitting and walking. I started using this brand and style of headphones when the children were infants because the earpieces do not block sound. They just sit comfortably in the outer part of my ear. I've tried earpieces that came with my mp3 player, but I can't tolerate the irritation from having them in my ears. Heavier headphones flatten my hair and block sound. These are definitely my favorite headphones!Customer Review: a long time satisfied, loyal user
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since 1997, this is the only type of headphones Ive been using. They are very comfortable. Full-size headphones are too heavy for extended or portable use, too bulky to wear them while lying down, and too much like a pair of ear muffs on a warm day! Earphones, on the other hand, always giving me issues: they tend to either sliping out or too tight and uncomfortable. Quality wise, these headphones are also very solid. I've gone though three pairs since 1997. And at around 10 a pop, that's no big deal at all. I'm tempted to buy one of those new and ultra pricy earphones, but at 10 times the price of thse good old Sony, I'll stick to the old faithful.Customer Review: cheap and reliable
Summary: 5 Stars
Why would anyone spend more for earphones to be used at the gym? The plastic headpiece keeps the earphones in your ears and comfortably so. Earbuds may be comfortable, but if you're exercising they tend to fall out. The sound is perfectly adequate. I'm sure that for serious listening, someone might want better, but for use with an mp3 player, these are great.
As with all such earphones, after a lot of use the wire inside the cord tends to loosen near the plug, and that's when they need to be replaced. I buy a few at a time, and they last 7-8 months, with 4-5 uses per week at the gym. I think that's pretty good, especially for the price.
Customer Review: My favorite for running
Summary: 5 Stars
My ears must be tiny because earbud headphones do not work for me. They constantly fall out and are not an option for running. I've tried all kinds of headphones - Sony, Nike, etc. The kind that wrap over the ear and behind the head...none of them work. These are perfect. The sound quality isn't the best, but they're light and comfortable and still allow me to hear some road sounds while running. They're also flexible, so don't break in your gym bag. After about a year of heavy use (5x week of sweating), I've found that one ear will often stop working, but at $10 it's not that big a deal to replace them. HIghly recommended for people who hate earbuds.
