Ok, if you don't sweat [Posted on 2006-12-28]
I purchased these for use with my iPod Video at the gym. I am not super picky when it comes to sound quality, so I cannot comment much there. If you are an average user, one who isn't bothered by sound quality of $20 headphones, these will sound ok to you.
The cord on these is longer than most headphones I have used. It is almost too long for running. I find wrapping it around my iPod on my arm solves that problem. The length does come in handy when on the elliptical trainer. I like to set my iPod on the little shelf of the elliptical and watch TV shows while working out.
These come with 3 different plug sizes. I'd say I have average size ears for a female. The small ones have the most comfortable fit, but I use the large ones for a couple reasons I will explain.
These are not the best for gym use. Once I start working up a sweat, they slide out of my ear as they are a smooth silicone. Moving up a size does help, but not completely. The stay in ok on the elliptical trainer, but horrible when running. I don't care for the slippery feel of the headphones in my sweaty ears. I know you find that description sexy...LOL!
Also, if you are not sitting still, these headphones give you a horrible sound. I compare it best to putting a stethoscope in your ears and tapping on the part they check your heart with. (Highly technical terms there...LOL) Movement of the buds in your ear cause this. It is improved by moving up a size.
Overall, I would give these a 5 for casual use, and a 3 for 'sweaty' use. :o)
very displeased [Posted on 2007-01-16]
2 seperate items sent to me, both with the same problem. Niether were wired like the picture. Both sets had the same manufacturing fault; a 2 inch wire on one side and a 16 inch wire on the other.
