Disappointment [Posted on 2007-11-01] A pain to get these on the ear, and then a pain to wear. After about ten minutes of use, I was sore. The sound quality is not much better. When indoors, they sound great, but when outside, ambient noise overwhelms them.
Previous to these I owned a pair of Sony ear-clip headphones that are just as inexpensive, but of much better quality. I bought these because I lost the Sony pair and wanted to try something new. After less than a week, I promptly returned these and just bought a replacement pair of the Sony earphones. I was happy to have them back.
Just Right! [Posted on 2008-03-30] I've had a pair of these earphones for a few years and I love them. First off, sound quality. Who cares. If I'm listening to the radio, it sounds like a radio and if I'm listening to my ipod it sounds like music! What more do you want, they're six bucks!!!
I work outside a lot, and I run and ride a bicycle. I used to use ear buds but they would fall out. I tried a pair with rubber clips that grip over the ear but they didn't really grip properly. These little beauties stay put and I can wear thick ear protection headphones or a headband or any kind of earmuffs over them and they don't hurt one bit. I wear them for hours on end without any pain or irritation. I can't say enough good things about them.
I was starting to get sad because I couldn't find more in the shops or even on Philips website, but good old Amazon came through. I'm ordering five more to save for the future. They're cheap, comfortable, they stay put and I can hear NPR or Coldplay just fine through them. Sorry the other reviewer was not so happy but when I find a product I like I'm sticking with it.
good sound but not for exercisers [Posted on 2008-05-31] sound quality is good, but the trick of using the wire that you tighten around your ear still does not give the stability during exercise and does not hold the buds into the ear
