Nike SHJ030 Multi-directional Earhook Headphone (Black)

 (31 customer reviews)

I bought these headphones half a year ago, and they've worked great the entire time - until now. They were reasonably comfortable, the sound quality was good, and they worked well for the most part. Last week, with no warning, they simply stopped working. One day when I put them on, the left ear bud wasn't transmitting any sound, so I just listened to the right ear bud. The next day, the right ear bud stopped working as well. I didn't do anything to adversely affect them, they didn't get wet and I didn't crush them or manipulate them. They simply stopped playing sound. I can't figure out what happened, but I don't recommend these headphones after my experience with them. I'll stick to Sony, they've always been reliable.

I can't really say anything good about these headphones.

My main problem is with the adjustable earhooks; They're loose, so the slightest tug yanks them off of your head. And, to top it off they dont even tighten enough to hold the speakers in your ears very well even if the cord had slack.

The second problem is the very short cord. During physican activity, if mp3 player was around your neck or clipped to your collar, then the cord would probably be long enough, but if you're holding the player in your pocket, hand, or on an armband, the cord is either too short to reach, or short enough that just by your regular motion you'd tug the headphones off your head (and forget about using it at work with the mp3 player on your desk, that is much too far for the cord).

These shortcomings, along with the high price tag, make these a definite "don't buy" item.

I love this product; however, these were shipped WITHOUT the extension piece so they are not long enough to be used with my ipod in a pocket. Very disappointment that the package was not complete. The headphones work fine, but are pretty useless if I have to hold my ipod at chest/shoulder level to listen!
