Rating: Summary: Good headphones, not for everyone though Review: These are a good set of headphones. They are ok at everything, great at nothing. Bass, midbass, treble are all average. Where these headphones standout is when working out, especially running. They allow you to hear just enough to make them safe but filter out most of the noise. But comfort is their biggest bonus. Earbud headphones falloff. Wrap-arounds leave your ears red and sore. Closed ear types absorb sweat, and look odd. These are the perfect compromise. They don't fall out, don't pinch your ear, and they have a canal for sweat to roll down and out of your ear. Bottom line, if you want library headphones look somewhere else. You want a workout set this is your model.
Rating: Summary: Great for standing still Review: These headphones have excellent design, construction, and weather resistance. I run at a pace of 10-minute/mile while listening to podcasts and music on my iRiver flash player.
If you intend to run with them--or go any speed above a slow walk, you will hear a constant howling of air past the somewhat aerodynamic side pieces. I even noticed this while walking through my living room. This makes them impossible to listen with. So sit and enjoy, but don't walk or run.
Rating: Summary: Light weight on the ears and a good sound! Review: You can wear these for hours for private easy listening and not be fatigued by them. Battery life with these earphones are extended also because of the tiny size of the speakers -- but still provides a nice bass sound. The angle at which the earphones enter the ear is a new design and makes for a more natural fit.
