I run wearing these for an hour or more every day. My pair lasted for 10 months before one earbud stopped working; I'm buying a replacement pair now because they work well enough and they're not expensive. Since most earphones seem pretty unsatisfactory (especially for runners), a semi-disposable, functional, rather cheap pair to replace annually seems as good an option as any.

I always use ear-bud headphones when walking, for some reason the over-the-ear headphones give me headaches. So I've always also just assumed that I'd never have clear sound. No more! These headphones are wonderful.

The range of music I like is very much varied. These sound great for all types, and most surprisingly is their ability to handle resonant bass in some newer songs. I'm really amazed, actually. It's weird having sound that's as good as a nice stereo when you're walking the dog.

One setback is that I need to use the foam covers because the plastic buds along fall out of my ears at the slightest tug of the cable. It's a setback for me. Maybe my ears are getting bigger as I get older? This has never been an issue. Regardless, it's a tiny fault for the best, cheapest headphones I've ever bought.

I use headphones on airplanes, in the gym, and--alas--I often sleep with them. Have tried many products, but none as happily as these. They were clearly designed by someone who was aware of the direction of the human ear canal, are comfortable, low profile, and have great sound. They also come in a wonderfully useful little storage case to keep you from losing the bud covers in pocket or briefcase.
