Summary: More Improvements Please
Review: One of the biggest problems I have found with the earbud headphones is that they always seem to fall out of my ears as I run. It seems that nothing I do help aleviate this problem. Another problem I've had not only with the earbud, but other sports headphones as well is sweat clogging up the speakers. I think I spend way too much time trying to keep my ears free of sweat as not too clog them up. I wish someone had a better idea for the perfect sports headphone. I'd love to hear anything.

Summary: a real review
Review: tired of reviews cranked out by the marketing department of the company in question? well here is an actual review by an impartial CONSUMER:
honestly, there are a lot better headphones on the market, but if you want to exercise in them... good luck. i've gone through two other sets of headphones before using these, the previous pairs died under the deluge of sweat proffered by my overheating body, but these sony's, they are still alive; for now. anyways, sound quality = so-so, but you're excercising so deal.

Summary: Use the Sponge Thingys
Review: Update: Durability is not as expected. After a few months of moderate daily use (MP3 player in my shirt pocket) during my commute to and from work the connection between the wires and the stereo plug is beginning to fail. Regular body movements will cause a break in the connection and I don't expect these ear-buds to last to the end of the year. Too bad since they produce nice sound.

----------------------------------------------------

Had these for a few months before opening the package and trying them on. First tried to use the buds as they were packed - without the little spongy covers over the buds - and was totally disappointed with a loose fit, weak midrange, scratchy treble, and almost no bass whatsoever.

Finally got the brilliant idea of putting the covers on and giving them one last try ... Wha?!?! Were these the same phones? The buds fit much better in my ears and I had a totally different experience with great mids, good treble, and very decent bass.

These earbuds won't change your life but they'll make your MUNI commute more pleasant by allowing you to block out the miscellaneous grunts and chirps made by your fellow transit commuters.

Just remember to use the sponge thingys.
