For the first few weeks this headset was fine for morning workouts. Good sound, comfortable fit, relatively easy to use. I've had it about six months and the flaws in the design are becoming evident and annoying. The little metal parts like the screws have corroded, the set gets stuck on a single channel -- not the one I want -- and it's impossible to change, it goes through batteries way too quickly, and sometimes it just doesn't work. The channel settings are lost when you change batteries, so I stopped using that feature after the second battery swap-out. The low-battery indicator light always seems to be on no matter how fresh the batteries are. As new as my unit is, I feel like it's on its last legs. This said, if the company came out with a much better version of the same product I would buy it because the basic concept is strong.

I bought this GPX unit looking for a ..., digital radio to use while jogging. The good news is that the radio worked well, the unit stays on your head well while jogging, and even though build construction wasn't great I was happy given the low price.

After three months the AM radio stopped working. I still use it on FM stations, but I wish I had spent a few extra dollars and bought the Koss headphone radio. I had a Koss model that lasted for 5+ years through all sorts of abuse.
