I first bought the less expensive Apple lanyard headphone, but, since it has no adjustable earplugs, I was killing my ears cramming them in (my ears are pretty normal size, by the way). So I bought these, and they fit well. The only drawback is that sometimes I pick up the wind whistling in them. I have seen reviews of both Apple lanyard headphones that complain that they don't plug in snugly to the iPod and thus the iPod can fall off. Those must be defective lanyards or iPods, because both lanyard headphones have attached firmly to my iPod; you can even hear it click when they're properly attached.

i was so excited when i found these lanyard headphones had been marked down from $50 to 14.77...then i found out why..no matter what size ear cover you use they just don't stay in your ear!! i still like the idea of the ipod hanging around your neck, but i think i am going back to my original ear buds and might try a arm band...these were really disappointing ;-(

The sound is really great, but there is one problem with this headphones they keep falling from my ears no matter what rubber caps (they come with 3 different sizes) I used. The design flaw makes them unusable for me.

I use the lanyard headphones to listen to my Ipod nano while running on an elipital exercise machine. The nano is securely held by the lanyard. There is a "click" when the nano is attached. The earphones fit well and sound just fine. The length of the cords can be adjusted for a perfect fit. Works great for me!

I honestly can't tell if these are truly Apple earphones. They look like they are, but the packaging was distinctly not Apple, and since only one earphone works on each set (I bought two sets) they certainly did not make it through Apple product testing. If I had to guess I would guess that they failed Apple testing at the factory (Guandong Provence) and were sold out the back door to some enterprising wholesaler who then sold them to some retailer who then sold them to me. Whatever, they are junk, unless, of course, you are already deaf in one ear.

Even coming with three sizes of of "ear gasket", using the smallest I'm afraid these headpohones still don't fit comfortably, and the 'seal' it creates on the ear is terrible. If you work out and sweat, it becomes even more atrocious, and as you adjust the headphones, the gaskets slip out of place; they're keyed to the headphone, but they don't stay in place. I am fairly dissatisfied with these In Ear headphones, and would not recommend them to anyone.

this product stinks. The buds didnt stay in my ears. The plug that connects to the ipod didnt stay securley fastened. This product is worthless in my opionion.

I bought these headphones so that I would have an easy way to listen to my favorite music while working out. I was able to do that, and it was great. Quickly, however, I realized that either the headphones were not created that well. Either that or my ears are shaped abnormally. They do not stay in. This is especially evident when I start sweating. The in-ear buds simply fall out and I loose all clarity and bass.

I've tried the small and medium size rubber covers for the earbuds so far and have not been able to determine which size works for me best. Right now I have the mediums, and those do not work. I was sitting on the couch listening and they sliped their way out. I'll go back to the small ones and give it another shot. Hopefully I'll be able to provide a satisfactory supplemental review.

Good product idea, poor design? I think so. Foam earbuds just like the ear plugs would work well, wouldn't they?

I would reccomend the headphones that clip over and around your ear, as opposed to these. Worried about iPod placement? Get an armband.

I bought these a couple months ago and I noticed that I can't use these in PE.(our pe teacher lets us listen to our iPods when we run the mile) when I jumped or ran, my iPod jumped right off the lanyard and sat in our rocky track waiting to get crushed. It doesn't stay on well.

bought for my wife in 1996 and after reading the low reviews, she ask me to add a 5-star for her. tells me they are wonderful and wished that i have bought more than 1 for her!!!
