3.0 out of 5 stars Middle ground on these, August 10, 2005

By	Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

They have great sound, but then this is Sony, I wouldn't expect anything less. Problems with design. I don't use the for running, but can see this would cause problems. The "earhook" are very nice is you are not moving about. Easy on your ears, very comfortable. But the slightest movement dislodges them. This could have been corrected if they had made the earhook longer. As if, for exercise these are the pits. I used them hooked to my laptop to listen to my writing being reread back on ReadPlease. Even with as little movement as that take they were constantly falling off!

I also didn't like the cord design. Instead of the Y shape with equal cords, that generally are adjustable. The has a very short side that goes under your chin and then the long lead comes from the one side. Nice concept, but it's the pits for something with very long hair. Feels like I have a chin strap.

Sorry, cheap ones half the prices are much better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst earphones ever, July 14, 2005

By	Henry F. Detering (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

OK... maybe not ever, but no one should buy these things. The sound quality is great... but they won't stay in your ear unless you lie down and don't move. Impossible to use in the gym and not even that good anywhere else. Whoever designed these things should be fired!

1.0 out of 5 stars Decent headphones, horrible for running, May 3, 2005

By	Benjamin Cannon "Music fan and frustrated runner" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These headphones fit comfortably, produce decent sound (nothing special) but do not stay on your ears while running - despite the fact that they are advertised as "Sport" headphones! I spent half of my time running holding them to my ears or catching them as they fell out.

Another annoying point: the cord is the type where one ear is much longer than the other (so that you can wear the player at your hip). Some people like this but it drives me crazy and the cords constantly get tangled. I have to untangle the earbuds before every use.

However, if you just want some white earphones to match your white iPod then buy these.
