Just don't stay put,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Arriva Sports Stereo Wired Headphones - Ipods / Mp3 Players and Phones (Electronics)
I bought these hoping I might have finally found a pair of headphones that works well for running. Most fall out, don't handle sweat well, aren't comfortable, break quickly, often all four.
I read several reviews saying that it takes some time to get used to these, but that once you figured out how to get them to stay on they would be great. I've used them for about 10 runs now, and am giving up. I followed the instructions, re-read them several times, but I just cannot keep them on. They stay on for about 10 minutes, until I start sweating even a little. Then they pop right out. And once they start popping out, they keep popping out. By 15 minutes into my run I pretty much have to hold my hand to my head to get them to stay in. On the plus side, for the time that they do stay in I find the sound to be fine, and the fit to be comfortable. If I could get them to stay on I think they'd be great. Just that one detail... Some notes about usage so you can compare to your situation. I use these on a treadmill, generally running in the 7.5-8min/mi pace, so bouncing around a bit. Although it doesn't seem to be the bouncing that causes the problem, it's the sweating. Once I start sweating even a bit they just slide right off of my ears. So these are going on the shelf, and back to my search for a good pair of running headphones...

Not very good sound. Great idea, poor execution,

This review is from: Arriva Sports Stereo Wired Headphones - Ipods / Mp3 Players and Phones (Electronics)
I've been searching high and low for some good (not great) headphones that will stay put when I run, and wouldn't break the bank. After purchasing and returning about a dozen different kinds, I saw an article on the Arriva, and figured I would give them a try.
The sound quality is horrible. Very tinny sounding, and they don't stay in very well (I tried the different sized ear fittings to no avail). I would say that this is definitely a 1.0 product. I really wanted these things to solve my problem, but I'm out of luck, and out 30 bucks. I guess I'll have to spend $50+ in order to get something that I like.

Not so great!,
By Obi "luvtojog" (georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Arriva Sports Stereo Wired Headphones - Ipods / Mp3 Players and Phones (Electronics)
I bought these headphones hoping I could finally find a pair that would stay in my ears while I jog. These headphones don't completely fall out like the others I've had but they do not stay in the ears snuggly enough and they tend to slide out slightly so I end up constantly pushing them in while I jog. That's not the worse part, though. The worse part is that after just a few months, one side quit working altogether. I've written an email to the company but they only warranty the things for 30 days so I'm not holding out much hope. I paid $30 for these things and am very disappointed that they quit working so soon.
