Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the sound quality, comfortable fit, and lightweight design of the Earbud Headphones. Many appreciate the product's affordability and water resistance for workouts and use in various weather conditions. However, some users noted that the bass could be improved and that the ear loops might present challenges for some. Overall, the positive feedback on comfort and sound outweighs the negative comments.

    I bought these to workout in. I prefer in ear phones, but needed something that would stay put while moving. These just don't tighten on my ears good enough.

    Bought this for my little boy because they are adjustable. They did not fit his ears well, and were awkward to adjust.

    The product looks promising but I have found that while they stay on my ears I can't keep the buds in my ears. I am back to using a normal ear-bud.

    Terrible product

    I bought these headphones because my 5 year old $15 around-the-ear headphones finally died and I needed another pair. The local BB didn't have the pair I wanted, so I settled for these in the meantime until I could get a decent pair. Granted, I didn't expect much from these, but the product claimed sweat resistance and the ability to stay in the ear. Neither of those are true. I tested them out on a treadmill before taking them outside where I usually run. They didn't even pass the treadmill test. When I spend more time adjusting my earphones than I do running or listening to music, there's an issue. These headphones are not worth the plastic used to make them.

    Terrible ear buds at a decent price.

    I bought these to replace a set of lost Iron Man earbuds. But the outer ear loop does not stay tightened during runs and other types of cardio workouts, making for a very awkward experience. I had to make frequent stops to readjust them just finally just gave up and put them in my pocket. I thought that Sony would have better product design, but I guess this is why I only ended up wasting $19.99 plus tax.

    I like the novel ear adjustment which worked well, but the thin brittle plastic on the actual ear bud broke after only two uses.

    These earbuds are great if you don't move around. Both my wife and I have both tried using these, she while on a treadmill and me while running a 5K. I found myself having to constantly adjust the loop around the back of my ear as it would keep coming loose. By the end of my race I took them off and have not used them since.

    Overall these are great especially for working out. Started with some Ironman headphones but eventually the earbuds would never stay on. These are much better at staying in and are pretty comfortable however they aren't as loud as some headphones.

    My husband - a runner - bought these to suit his sport. He was very happy with them, and when I stole them for a few workouts, I realized why. They stay put, project decent sound, and weren't uncomfortable at all. Then tonight the sound out of the right ear stopped working....and we are about 20 days past our warranty. Not sure if this is a common problem, but I don't intend on buying another set for that short life span.

    these headphones have some of the highest quality speakers that you can ask for. they don't fall out of my ears, they are really good for walking in the rain. overall they are headphones that if you take good care of them you will get a lot of use out of them
