1.0 out of 5 stars Not very sturdy!!! March 20, 2011

By Tactical crossfitter!!!

Ok, I read about these in a fitness magazine and thought what the hell, lets try them. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and the weather and climate here can be rough. I used these headphones almost everyday, they were comfortable and the sound quality wasn't bad, but I did not think they were worth $50.00, because you can buy other brands that will last longer for half the price. The red ear pieces that come in 2 sizes wear out very quickly and start to fall off while in use, and they started to fall apart altogether, which was very annoying. So do yourself a favor and go with less expensive earbuds. I may need more rugged earbuds, but hey their web site was raving about how triathletes use these things and they are great etc.... But with kettle-bell and cross-fit workouts I hardly think they should fall apart so easily. I hope this helps anyone. -Out

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pair of headphones to wear under my motorcycle helmet. April 3, 2011

By David A. Smith

Finally! A Pair of headphones that I can wear under my motorcycle helmet that will actually stay in. I've spent tons of cash over the last few years on ear buds that can't seem to stay in my ears while riding. They only come out if the cable is yanked and that's the way I want it.

One thing to note is that the cord is ridiculously long. If these things are supposed to be for running I can't imagine why anyone would need that much cable between their music player and their head. I'm 6'3" and I think it's way too much even for me.

Sound quality is fine. They are pretty comfortable. I'm not going to use them to run but they work well under the helmet.

2.0 out of 5 stars The worst sound quality I have ever purchased. UPDATE: I WAS WRONG. February 14, 2011

By kyle2223

I bought these headphones after reading good reviews. They stay in your ears as advertised but the sound quality couldn't be worse. I have never felt so ripped off before in my life. I bought these off of their website and not amazon. I plan on calling them today and telling them how disappointed I am. The audio quality is the same as those disposable headphones you get on airplanes to listen to the movies. I've never had the experience of hating music I usually enjoy except for when I listened to them through these. The only reason I give these a two instead of a one is because they do stay in your ears. That bit doesn't make it worth 50 though. They should be priced around 20. The part that makes it stay in your ear is just a cheap piece of plastic that covers the ear bud you can take off and put on ipod headphones. I'll probably keep that part and use it on different ear bud headphones. I'll never buy from this company again.

UPDATE: I called the company complaining about the quality. The lady very kindly assured me this has never happened before and she usually doesn't get calls like this so she wondered if something with headphones was actually broken. She offered to send me a new pair for free and I reluctantly agreed. 4 days later, there was a new pair at my door. I really didn't feel like even trying them on but I did. I have to say they were MUCH better. The first pair they sent me were with out a doubt broken. Something with the treble being way out of control. This pair was much better and the sound was actually pretty decent. I could hear instruments in song that I wouldn't normally hear. I was also able to differentiate each instrument individually as they played at the same time. They aren't amazing but for the price, they are worth it. I almost feel like apologizing to any buyers who may have been put off by this review. With the new pair, anything negative? The case feels a little cheap and if you don't keep the buds in the case, dust sticks the plastic piece that you put in your ear like crazy. Also, the sound still feels a little less than warm. But the quality otherwise is much better than my initial review. I wouldn't recommend not buying them now. Try them if you want.
