Summary: please heed the warnings about the cheap wires
Review: I didn't and paid the price.. I assumed the others handled their headphones too roughly thus they were experiencing broken cords. So I bought it, and suffered the same outcome. The cords are VERY cheap. They aren't flexible steel wires, they are cheap copper wires that after a frequent bending, they will break!
DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT, IT SUCKS. While the headphones are very light and are decent sounding (not as great as one of the reviewers stated it was), the the wiring is very poor. They will DEFINITELY break at some point of regular use. And you won't be able to fix it. I tried to replace the wiring with better ones and basically broke the headphones in the process. There's no way to pop out the drivers, they're sealed permanently.
The wiring is so cheap you'll notice if you bend it in any way, it stays that way (cheap copper). This proved it was very maleable and susceptible to breakage after frequent (but normal) flexing.
Again, don't buy these speakers, you're better of spending it towards a different set that has better wires.

Summary: copper wires
Review: I enjoyed these headphones for about month... then similarly to one of the other reviews on this item (which unfortunately I didnt take the advice of before purchasing!) starting falling apart (mind you with no damage to them on my part), with the copper wires of the headphones coming out of three different areas in the headphones. Now only one headphone works and the one headphone cuts in and out as the copper wires begin to disconnect at the base of the headphones.As a whole, these would have been perfectly great headphones if they didnt fall apart and stop working. But unfortunately that didnt happen so it was a complete waste of money, as I am headed to buy NEW headphones, only one month later. Dont buy these.

Summary: great sound cheap construction
Review: I have gone thru 3 pairs in 2 years.The only reason i have bought so many is the sound quality is great but the wires on these headphones are cheap.All three pair failed because of wiring problems but i have not found a pair of headphones that sound as good as these.I am sure if i spend more money i could but i just us them for the gym.Philips just needs to work on the wiring problem.

Summary: Terrific sound quality
Review: I have yet to find another set of headphones that have sound quality as good as these do. I use these for running, so I also like the snug fit. Very lightweight, so I don't even know they're there when running. Like some of the other reviewers, mine quit working in one of the ears - after 16 months of steady use. For only $15 bucks, I felt like I got my money's worth, which is why I'm buying another pair.

Summary: Great sound/convenience; back for more despite wire problems
Review: I've tried many headphones and still find these have the best sound. I use them while on the treadmill; this is the only style that stays comfortably inside my ears, delivering awesome sound. I find that the ear-bud style falls out, while headphones that sit on top of your ears are too far from the eardrum, diluting the sound. These go inside, and stay inside. No other style gives a comparable sound. BUT......as other reviewers note, the wires are cheaply made and disconnect/break with time. I've gone through two pairs in about two years. Like another reviewer, however, I feel that I get $15 of value out of them and have decided to replace them when they break. This will be my third and fourth pair (I'm actually ordering two, one for the future). I'm not pleased about the ongoing cost, but I can't find any other that work nearly as well. LAST THOUGHT......I'm going to try using electrical tape with my next pair to see if I can secure the leads, minimize their being torqued, and get them to last longer. I'm also going to make an effort to be sure I keep them from getting bent, twisted or pulled.

Summary: Light Headphones
Review: One of the most amazing things about headphones is that it's not a huge stereo with speakers. That's why, I was so glad when this product came out. I first saw it on TV's. They were yellow, very thin and were easy to put in the ear and off. I thought, wow, those looks so much better than the huge ones I have at home that when I put around the neck it chokes me. So I went here at Amazon and looked for a pair like those on TV. And here I found them! I was hoping it would be another color, and I was glad there was blue. I immediatly purchased one considering that the price wad doable. I received it within a few weeks, and was surprised to how light it was! It was easy to put on and off, but am afriad the only bad part to this headphone is that it hurts in the ear when used for quite awhile. But other than that, I enjoy these headphones because they're so easy to use and I love how my music flows out. :)

Summary: Irritates my ears
Review: The sound is okay for it's price, but the headphones hurt my ears. The shape is flat on one side and round on the other. After I wore them for a while, the headphones started getting hot and they made my outer ears hurt. I traded headphones with my friend and she said the headphones didn't hurt THAT much. I'm a big comfort lover and these headphones arent very comfortable.
