Great headphones for the price. Stay in your ears during runs, nice, loud, and great sound. Great purchase! Very happy! Also, great for kids or people who with small ears than don't like jamming something in their ear canal.

I liked everything about these headphones - the design, the lightweight feel, the comfort, the sound, etc - except for one thing. When running or exercising, the perspiration seemed to track right down the frame of the headphones and filled my ear with sweat. Once covered in sweat, they stopped working. I constantly had to take them off and wipe them off. I guess I'm going to have to go back to earphones that go in the canal and form a seal against water and sweat.

I've purchased more than 10 pairs of these over the last 3 years. They last about 4 months each before one side or the other stops working. This is because a wire breaks, usually at the ear phone. There is some strain relief inside the headset, but if you use these a lot, you're going to find yourself ordering multiple sets to keep a working pair around. I listen to audiobooks almost exclusively and the sound quality is fine for that. They fit adequately and are cooler than the padded headphones. If I could something that worked better, I would. However, this is all that I can find that isn't too hot to wear in the summer heat that works for me. Thicker wires is what is really needed here, even though it might raise the electrical resistance slightly.
