Got these to replace Senheiser sport headphones. Prefer the Senheiser for comfort and sound, but had problems with them with volume control connection. The loop system the Sony uses to thold them in place works okay, but they tend to slip during a good run.

I bought these to run with, but I also use them on my commute on the subway too. Sometimes, I need to shove them into my pocket, isn't that what earbuds are for? Anyway one of them snapped where the rubber meets the plastic (see picture). Lucky I bought the insurance. Like others before me I felt they stuck out of the ear quite a bit and they made my ears hurt after awhile (although I do have tiny ears.) I would go with a different pair if I were you, they aren't worth what I paid for them.

these headphones are good if you dont have the cash to spend on more expensive brands, decent sound but crackles towards the high end, also kind of hard to keep them in place in your ears.

I've had these earphones for a few months and overall they are great. The white cord matched with the black ear piece is not the best looking, but I use these just for working out. I've always had issues in the past with earbuds staying in my ear as I do more intense workouts and these work great for that! The price is more than I would prefer but after trying all the other selections available and not having any luck, I decided to try these anyway.

I love the sound quality, they are very loud and clear. However, the earbuds (even with the different adjustments) are not comfortable. The earbuds feel like they are going to pop out of my ear while walking or running. I love the fact they are waterproof because I could rinse them them off when i workout or wear them in the rain or snow. I like them, but they are just very annoying at times. I guess I will have to get use to them.

These sound fine, but the texture around the back of the ear is offputting.

i bought because i like to run yet I sweat like a hog in mile 3-4. They were expensive almost a bill. They felt weird at first but.had good sound. Yet on the thrid run they came apart while i was running? i thought maybe I pulled too hard ir something during running. But on the fourth rung the other side.came apart causing meto almost trip.as the cords came down to my feet. Dexided to return and.got a pair if proven running earbuds yeah the addidas. Bad thing is best buy still charged me full price when.they were on sale for $25 less stating exchanges go off the base price even if they are on sale that weekend.

I bought these to replace another Sony model not sold at Best Buy any longer. The sound is great, and the security of the adjustable hangers is great, but the length of the earbud causes the earpiece to protrude too far to comfortably wear underneath a beanie when running in the cold, or while skiing/snowboarding. I returned them within my 30 day return window.
