4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Running, July 5, 2005

These headphones are well thought out and are the best I've found for running. The behind the neck design allows you to wear a hat while you run and the single cord seems custom designed for runners - especially if you run with your MP3 player attached to your waistband. The cord has a short straight section near the pin, then a clip, and then a long coiled section. The result is that you can run the uncoiled section from your MP3 player around your back at the waist then clip it there. This allows the coiled section to be positioned securely directly below the headphone it is attached to.

2.0 out of 5 stars Be careful what you wish for, February 19, 2006

By	Fernando Rizo (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After tolerating the annoyance of my MP3 player's earbuds for over a year, I decided to spend a few dollars to get some headphones that wouldn't fall out during a workout.

I considered several different sets of headphones here on Amazon, and I finally settled on these. I noted the caveats of other reviewers about the tight fit, but I figured that tight fit was excactly what I was after, anyway. After a few workouts with these headphones, here's my thoughts:

The reviewers who pointed out the tight fit were not kidding. These things will never come out of your ears; running, crunches, whatever. The price to be paid for this is definite discomfort. The first ten or fifteen minutes are tolerable, but by the end of your first half-hour with these things in, your ears will really hurt.

I'm not a sound quality guru by any means, but the sound from the headphones seems to be just fine.

In addition to the fit there's a couple of other criticisms to be made about the design, although they're really just nitpicks. This headset has its own volume adjustor built in to the cord, which I imagine will be redundant for 90% of its users (it certainly is for me). The cord is also wound into a spiral for part of the length (kind of like an old pre-cordless telephone), which looks somewhat odd.

So all told, if you want a pair of headphones that you won't have to keep putting back into your ears when you're working out, then these are for you.. provided that you have an extraordinary tolerance for pain. I'll most likely be picking up some other headphones shortly.

Lightweight, good sound, swivel speaker mounts are sometimes hard to adjust for best sound.
