Secondly, the design on these is great. I have trouble keeping most in-ear headphones in my ears, but the band on these keep them in my ears very securely. These headphones are great for working out, because they stay secure and boost the bass, however, unlike almost all in-ear headphones, they do NOT block out noise. I am wearing them right now and can very clearly hear myself typing over the music, meaning these are not good for planes, busses, trains, or car trips. from Circuitcity.com I have Bose Tri-port headphones which is fine for mowing the lawn but not to go for a run with. I needed something that would deliver great sound yet not be heavy or obtrusive. from Circuitcity.com I got these as a present recently and let me just say that they are great! I usually prefer over-the-ear headphones, because I can't stand the sound quality and discomfort caused by in-ear headphones. from Amazon.com They are supposed to be sweat resistant. That remains to be seen. The sound quality is not very good and in fact Sony's $20 sports earphones sound about the same. I'm not too keen on the in ear design. from Amazon.com These are actually silver in color, and not white as Amazon describes them (this is the only color that this model is available in). These headphones are probably not worth it at full retail price, so if you can get them at a discount they're not a bad deal. from Amazon.com I have gone through several sets of earbuds for my MP3 player, but was never really satisfied with the sound, and none of them fit securely enough to use duing any sort of activity. I decided to get myself a quality set of light weight headphones and picked up these Sony's last week. from Amazon.com I purchased these at a major store on a Saturday to replace some $10 headphones by Sony that had shorted out. Price was $99, but I had just got paid so figured, I'll splurge because maybe the sound quality will be great. from Amazon.com I bought these because I kept ruining headphones during exercise, probably because of excessive sweating. They are supposed to be sweat resistant. from Amazon.com I got these as a present recently and let me just say that they are great! I usually prefer over-the-ear headphones, because I can't stand the sound quality and discomfort caused by in-ear headphones. However, over-the-ear headphones can be cumbersome and annoying when running or working out. from Amazon.com I have gone through several sets of earbuds for my MP3 player, but was never really satisfied with the sound, and none of them fit securely enough to use duing any sort of activity. I decided to get myself a quality set of light weight headphones and picked up these Sony's last week. I am totally satisfied with them. from Amazon.com
