Philips Adjustable Earhook Headsphones SHS4840/28 (Silver)

I think it's key to keep in mind that these are fairly cheap. Yes, the sound quality doesn't hold up to the higher end headphones we own, but that's because these are much cheaper. They are great to use in situations where you don't want to use your better quality headphones.

It does take you a little time to put them on the first time - to get them situated on the ear, to set up the soft rubber to get it to fit. Once you do get the headphones in place, they are quite secure.

The sound isn't phenomenal, but it isn't atrocious either. It's what you would expect in this price range.

The connection wires aren't very sturdy looking. Also we prefer right angle jacks for various reasons and this one has a straight jack.

Not sure what the rating below me is talking about. I just purchased a replacement set because mine were stolen 30 minutes ago. These headphones have survived three marathons, training exercise for over a year, and workouts over 2 hours a day 5 days a week. The cord is thin and they are overall light weight. They are not flimsy at all and have been used constantly for over 2 years. One of the buds rubber protector fell off, but easily went back on and I have never had a problem with it since.
