I bought these headphones about a week ago, and after several attempts and readjustments I've realized that these suckers just don't want to stay on my ears. I've even let my friends try them on and though they'll stay still if you don't move, the moment you turn your head or wiggle your ears just a little bit they fall off.

There's probably a 1/10 chance that your ears are the perfect shape for these, for the other 9 however you'll find that the string used to drape over the inner corner of your ear is the only thing keeping it up. The plastic "hook" that is supposed to go over the edge of your ear is either too far away from it or not tight enough for it to fit. This causes the headphones to dangle from your ears rather than stay in the ear.

No complaints about the sound quality of the earphones... but then again it does no good if the sound never gets to my ears.

the biggest draw with this set of headphones is that the cord more like a rope and its much much less likely to get tangled. and its pretty light. sound was decent. however, i tried tirelessly to get it to fit around my ear in an optimal position so that it would stay on and in my ear while running. i couldnt. i wanted to really get it working bc of the rope-like cord but just couldnt

I got these headphones 3 years ago. During those years i did plenty of abuse to it and it never has failed on me until now. The actual headphones fits perfectly on me. My current headphones has a broken right speaker, if i wiggle the cable around i am able to fix it but i might as well get this again.
