Nike SHJ055 Extra Large Speaker Neckband Headphone - Black

When I first got these headphones I was very excited. Finally there was a sweat resistant over ear headphone that would be able to stand 3 miles/day and intense gym workouts! For the first month, that is exactly what they were and I was excited, even ready to make this review a 5 star instead of 2 star, but, randomly, the sound to one of the earphones was lost at about mile 1.75 today. On CAREFUL inspection, I saw that the cord was coming apart at the back of the headphones probably due to the properties of my copious amounts of sweat that can come from a good workout. And thus, $30 has been dropped down the drain. Aside from not producing sound out of the right ear, they fit well and were excellent for the first month.

I purchased these Nike headphones from a local store with really high expectations. As with the other reviews, I was quite pleased with them for about three months. They fit comfortably, had a great sound, and even provided some insulation from the cold weather when running outside in the winter months.

Unfortunately, I was plagued by the same problem as the other reviews. After about 2.5 months of running outdoors for about 3-4 miles five days a week, the sound in one of the speakers gave out. After further inspection, the wires on the back of the headphones were separating. I ultimately lost sound in both speakers.

This should not happen to headphones that were designed specifically for active use! I would strongly suggest you consider another product if you are planning to use these headphones exclusively for listening to music while running.

I bought these headphones and loved them. In fact, I loved them so much that when one of the speakers stopped working, I went out and bought another pair.
Both sets of headphones lost sound to one speaker within a few months.
...and I don't run or work out. They stopped working under average wear and tear.
That makes me sad inside.
