A good workout earphonesJuly 22, 2010 B. Cocke(Minneapolis, MN, USA) First, some small stuff I didn't like: The jack is at a 90 degree angle, at least it is well made, hasn't gotten in the way so far- maybe this is just an aesthetic preference; It comes with this coin-purse like case, it has magnets on it and I have a semi-rational fear of it ruining my iPhone; the earphones have little covers for themselves (the same type that all earphones come with) but these are especially large and made it harder to fit in my ear.
The actual review: I sweat a lot, like I'm just one of those people, so when I took the earphones for a 40 min run I was half expecting them to crap out, luckily they didn't. After twisting them in, I had no problem the rest of the run. I was able to focus on the run and my music with out the annoyance of feeling my headphones fallout. The left earphone was much more snug in my ear than my right - probably just needs a different size piece (which come with the headphones). After the I took the headphones out I noticed the place where I had twisted them into my ear hurt a little bit. This quickly went away.
Want workout headphones? These are some of the best I've found.
Yesss. . .July 22, 2010 Rebecca M Moore Finally! Headphones with good sound that don't slip out while I'm running. The extra contact at the top of the ear is a little irritation when I'm using them at work, but I certainly don't notice it when I'm running.

Mediocre ear buds. Good sound, not so good packaging.
The left ear cord is 8.5". The right ear cord is 20". This imbecilic asymmetry is a continual annoyance.
These ear buds work only if you have large ears. They probably won't work if you are a normally sized woman. Did not work for my wife. Once fit, the ear buds do stay in the ears comfortably.
There must be better ear phones that stay in the ear for around the same price. Pass this product by and keep looking.
Great for Running!July 15, 2010 Parker I run a lot and had over-the-ear earphones, which worked ok but would slip out once I started sweating and made it very difficult to hear the music. After reading other peoples' reviews regarding these I thought I would give them a try. I changed out a couple of the pads that come with them and they haven't moved, budged or slipped once! Regardless of how much I'm sweating. And I didn't realize how bad my other earphones were from a sound quality either. I got these for $30 and they are worth every penny. I certainly wouldn't pay more than $30 for earphones (I like music, but I like money too), but I would definitely recommend these and will buy them again should something happen to mine.

Earphones work pretty much as advertised. They do stay in once you get the fit right. Everyone's ears are different, so try the various sizes until you get a fit that works for you.
