I decided to give these earphones a shot yesterday after seeing them at the expo for the Rock N Roll marathon - they were FANTASTIC! They sit so lightly in your ear, but I never once had them fall out (I didn't even have to adjust) and the sound quality was great. I'm so glad I gave them a chance.

Purchased these for my first marathon because I kept getting sweat in my other earphones. These stayed in my ears and the sweat stayed out. This product performed exactly as I expected. I have had better earphones regarding quality of sound, but these were satisfactory. I would purchase again.

I bought these earphones at Seattle's Rock N Roll Marathon and LOVE them. Since these were made for outdoor activities in mind, external noise such as oncoming cars/barking dogs/bikes riding behind you CAN be heard so that as a runner, I'm not oblivious to my audio surroundings. I highly recommend this for runners!!! The only thing I would change is to shorten the length of the earphone cords!

I bought these headphones at a race expo. The first time I used them the right earpiece went silent. I tried using them again - and they worked for a few songs, again the right earpiece was silent. Sent them back to the manufacturer and they mailed them right back to me stating that they worked on their device. Well - they only work for a song or two before the right earpiece is silent again! Very disappointed. Waste of money!!!

These earbuds are advertised that they will fit all ear types, but they do not. Each time I run the buds keep falling out and I have to keep pushing them back into place or just take them out. I have tried all 4 covers and none of them fit me. After pushing them in over and over, they have created a blister inside my ear! I am moving onto another type of earphones.

Initially I thought these were a great purchase, but in less than a month (being used gently and sparingly) the one earbud completely fell apart in my hand. Now there is not even any sound coming out of that one. Very disappointed. As I no longer have the receipt and packaging, I imagine I cannot even return them. A waste of $20+.

These earphones are awesome and get ask about them a lot because of the design it has. The bad part is that the removable rubber part can come of when it's not in use and you will lose it, which sucks.

Bought these buds at a local running store. It was advertised that they stay in your ears even when doing vigorous activities. But when I got home to try them on they wouldn't even stay in my ears for 30 sec. Use caution when buying. Stick to scully buds.

I saw these headphones at the surf city expo this year and decided to give them a try. I was skeptical at first since my small ears have tried all different types of headphones. I have tried the apple ones, the Nike ones, Sony and even frogz but none of them stayed in my ear while I was running. And even some of them started hurting my ears. I have to say these have worked so far for me and they actually stay in while running. These are worth a try since they are priced competitively as other headphones.

I bought these earphones at a marathon expo as the ones that I had been using died 3 days before a race. I have a notoriously rough time with earphones of any type as I have weird shaped ear canals and they sweat a lot (TMI, sorry) causing most buds of any type to always fall out. So succumbing to their marketing I figured that I would give them a try (and went against the adage of never do anything new on race day). I ran with them for about 2 miles before the race and figured that they worked pretty good - the sound quality was decent and they were quite customizable. On race day itself I can honestly say that I forgot that I was wearing them - IMO that's as good of an endorsement as any.

When temps get into the 90 degree and humid range I do have some more issues with fit, just due to the amount of sweat. And once I accidentally ripped one out of my ear and opened it, but the wires all stayed intact and I was able to fit it back together and it still works perfectly. I do know that they are coming out with some new ear mold things, but I haven't had the opportunity yet to try them and see if they fit any better.
