3.0 out of 5 stars Nice sound, but fit was awful, September 4, 2007

Although the sound and features were great, I couldn't get the actual phones to settle on my ears... these headphones are clearly designed for a head much larger than mine! The only part of the headphones that held on to my head was the hard plastic around the actual phones, which led to a headache fairly quickly. I ended up returning these because there's no way they are comfortable enough to wear.

I bought this headphone to replace the ear buds that came with my Zen Stone MP3 Player. I needed something that would be comfortable, durable and sound good during workouts. I usually wear them while running for an hour or more per day and this fit the bill perfectly.
The price can't be beat either. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a headphone to go with a $40 MP3 Player and this headphone was very inexpensive. It's pretty well made and the cord is about 6 feet long, but has a clip to keep it out of the way. There's also a volume control on the cord clip which is handy. I can clip it to my collar or waistband and it stays where I need it to.
Delivery was fast. I purchased this and the armband and skin for my Zen Stone at the same time and both arrived within two or three days on standard shipping.

Very pleased with this unit as it has a very clear sound, both the bass and treble are superb, even on my MP3 player and CD's. And it has a very RICH AND LOUD sound, reaches a high level of sound! I bought this unit because it is a neck style headphone and also because of the built in volume control (perfect for the traveler). For the money, this is a wonderful headset. And Amazon was so quick with the shipping. Very happy!
