I received these headphones yesterday thinking I had finally found a good pair for the gym. They look nice, but after only 2 minutes of trying them out I realized that I had wasted all of my money.

The problem is not the sound quality of the headphones themselves, because they sound fine. The frustrating thing is that the things that are supposed to go in your ears do not stay there and instead pop right out once you take your hand away, meaning you can only barely hear the music. It's like trying to listen to a song in another room throug a wall. So, unless you don't mind having to hold them in your ears with both hands the entire time you listen to your music, these are pointless. Did they even test these?!

Also, if you plan on doing anything at the gym that involves a bench, the behind the head design of these is horrible, as the head band will hit the bench and get pressed upwards making you look and feel like an idiot. It is hard to describe, but just trust me that these were not meant for lifters.

Such a frustrating design! Please avoid these headphones at all costs!

I use these headphones 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, sometimes more and they are perfect for me. Yes the speaker pieces are hard plastic so they can be uncomfortable if you don't position them correctly, but they're really easy on your head and ears and have pretty decent sound for cheap headphones. Some of my neighboring cube dwellers can hear my music if I turn it up loud because of the open style of the speaker setup but they all wear headphones too so oh well. Overall, great purchase if you're looking to save some money and just need a pair of speakers strapped to your head. Not sure how they would work as "sports headphones" since they never leave my desk. I'll leave that to someone else to review.

I use them to work out and on bike trails. I use them in reverse so that the left side is worn on my right ear and vice versa for the ride side of the headphone. These are one of the best headphones I have ever used for working out because they stay put.

What did I expect for $14? It was OK at first. Occasionally only pinching my ears where the two plastic pieces joined. Then it started making some weird humming noise. One day it made a loud pop, and gave me some sort of electric shock through the eardrums. Luckily, it only took one motion to rip it off my head and toss it in the trash.

I got these for working out and I cannot complain, they are pretty comfortable and the sound quality is good. For the price I paid they are an excellent buy. I see that some other people had trouble with the fit of them. This is the first time I have purchased this type of fit headphone but they fit and stay on without any issue through my entire workout.

They are cheap, fit fairly well and are comfortable. When plugged into the TVs on the treadmill at the gym sweat gets in the earpieces and actually causes you to get small electric shocks. In less sweaty activities I haven't had this problem. Sound quality is fine.

I have several of these earphones that I use for computers, radio, TV etc. The audio fidelity is great with surprising bass. They are so light that you hardly know you have them on.
For the price they can't be beat.

I am using this headset for a yr now and they are still working just great.

I bought it for 12 bucks, at the current price its a steal.
