This will be the 4th pair of these headphones that I've purchased. None have lasted for longer than 10 months, and some as few as 3 months. After my last pair broke (the connection at the jack went bad, as with all 3 previous), I swore I'd never buy another pair. That being said, the price here on amazon is almost half what I paid for the previous pairs at target and that makes the prospect that they will only work for about 8-12 months more readily acceptable for me.

Other than the fact that the headphones will inevitably stop working in one ear, these are the best running/weightlifting headphones that I've found in MANY attempts (nike, phillips, skullcandy, other sonys) for the following reasons:

1. Stability tips and spring-like band design keep the headphones clamped to your ears.
2. SHORT CORD!
3. Sound quality is acceptable
4. Sweat resistant earpiece covers

For me, #'s 1 and 2 are by far the most important aspects of active...Read more

This headphones have superd sound. The absolute only reason I did not give them a 5-Star rating is because after about an hour of use, I tend to get a little bit of a headache due to how tight they seem to fit. Now I am a big guy at well over 6 feet ( I guess I have a big head), which could very well be reason for the tighter than normal fit. I do enjoy the sound and I am happy with my purchase. Because the band fits around the base of your neck in the back, you can exercise, run or perform any type of activity without them wanting to fall off. And you can't beat the sound quality including the deep bass you hear. They sound just as good as any of the much higher priced units I tried before choosing these to buy.

Firstly, I'm not a headphone expert, not an audiophile. I only use headphones at the gym.

I don't like earbud style headphones as my ears don't accommodate them and I find myself constantly adjusting them. For me these are very comfortable, no adjusting needed. Important, because my workouts typically are weightlifting only. I don't need distractions in the middle of deadlifting.

I love these because I tend to choose workout music that emphasizes bass and these pound pretty well for a cheap pair of headphones! Sound quality is great, balance seems fine, I can hear more 'detail' in the music with these than other headphones.

My first pair held up well for a satisfactory amount of time. Eventually, after about a year of daily use one side quit functioning. I suspect that was my fault as I'm pretty rough with my electronics and don't take proper care of them. Just throw them aside in the car until they're needed next. However, I definitely feel I got my...Read more
