Q: Does it stay put in your ears?

A: If you're not super active, like running on a treadmill or doing heavy cardio, then yes, they're great in the ears once you find your right sized tip. They come with 4 different sizes, so that's no problem. However, I have found that when I'm running on the treadmill they slip a little, but they have never come out of my ear entirely.

Q: Will these work with iPods? Is there a way to use as a "wired" headphones if the battery life has expired?

A: Hi there! It is compatible with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (iOS 5.0 or later) but it can't be used with a connecting cable. -Jerome

Q: How good is the sound.

A: I was very skeptical about the sound. Not any more. I'm glad I bought these. They have great sound.

Q: Can I shower while using these?

A: Honestly, I wouldn't risk it. These are IPX4 rated, meaning they are "splash resistant" but not "waterproof". You shouldn't have issues in a light rain but showers have increased heat and pressure, making water damage far more likely. I wouldn't want anything less than an IPX6 rating for use in a shower but 7+ would be preferable, as those ratings are for continued submersion in water.

Q: Does it vibrate to indicate an incoming call on cell phone?

A: Hi there! It does not vibrate, when an incoming call arrives, a ring tone will be heard from the headset, and the indicator (blue) flashes quickly. -Jerome

Q: How are these headphones for running? Could they stay in place for 5k - 10k or longer distances?

A: They are pretty solid in the ear once you figure out the proper sized of ear plugs to use! (It comes with a ton of different sizes)

Q: How bass heavy are these? I like pretty heavy bass in my music. I've been using a pair of Bass Monster brand but they keep having to be replaced due to battery issues..and on that note, how well do they keep a charge?

A: With a tight fit they sound close to the Jaybird freedoms. Once you customize the eq in the app they sound excellent for their size. No issues with holding a charge with daily use. So far as advertised

Q: Can you skip songs on Android phones with these?

A: yes, by long pressing volume buttons
