I purchased these with the intent of using with my Ipod while I ran or played racquetball. As I soon found out, I couldn't even use them for daily non-active use. The first set that was sent to me didn't work at all. I plugged it in, and couldn't hear anything. The fit was poor and wouldn't stay on my head ( I wear 7 1/4" hat, very common size) Anyway, I was really disappointed and quickly contacted Arriva.
The customer service rep acknowledged the problem quickly and said it was an issue with the "early" models that they were aware of and they would send out a new set. So, The new set arrived, and worked only marginally better. The sound quality was very very poor (not even close to the stock headphones) and again, they didn't even come close to fitting my head(way to big).
Also, I was charged for the headphones they shipped me and for the shipping of the headphones. I contacted the company again and they said I would be credited for the price of the headphones if I shipped back the old ones *at my own cost*.
Anyway, I don't recommend either the product or the company.

These really look as though they'd help keep the ear buds from falling out - but it's actually quite the opposite - the silicone plugs are slick and the moment you begin to exercise and sweat a little they fall out.

Look closely at the photo for this product... the headphones have no shape to them... Each side has a mind of it's own. Impossible to adjust for a proper fit... again, you can see this by just looking at the photo of the product...
The plastic around the ear is very uncomfortable. The headphone piece pops out of your ear. And if by some miracle, you do get them right... store them in a glass case... Drop them on the seat and they will lose what little shaping you achieved...

Maybe these look a little hokey or goofy upon first glance, but they're truly great headphones. These headphones should fit most everyone (I'd say 80% of people) unless they are exceptionally small or exceptionally large. The headphones are sent with 3 sets of rubber ear coverings, so they fit an ear canal of almost any size. Noise reduction is fair, but you pay for what you get (I didn't expect the same as I do from my $300 Bose Quiet Comforts, obviously).
What I loved about these was that the cord is in the back of your head! No more swinging cord in your face to get in the way of your cardio workouts on the treadmill, stepper, or elliptical. I often would get my swinging arms caught in the cords, and be frustrated. Also, the webbing is adjustable for an optimal fit. Noise reduction, great adjustable fit, and rear cord all make for an excellent, bang-for-your-buck product. I can't recommend them enough!

I bought these hoping I might have finally found a pair of headphones that works well for running. Most fall out, don't handle sweat well, aren't comfortable, break quickly, often all four.
I read several reviews saying that it takes some time to get used to these, but that once you figured out how to get them to stay on they would be great. I've used them for about 10 runs now, and am giving up. I followed the instructions, re-read them several times, but I just cannot keep them on. They stay on for about 10 minutes, until I start sweating even a little. Then they pop right out. And once they start popping out, they keep popping out. By 15 minutes into my run I pretty much have to hold my hand to my head to get them to stay in.
On the plus side, for the time that they do stay in I find the sound to be fine, and the fit to be comfortable. If I could get them to stay on I think they'd be great. Just that one detail...
Some notes about usage so you can compare to your situation. I use these on a treadmill, generally running in the 7.5-8min/mi pace, so bouncing around a bit. Although it doesn't seem to be the bouncing that causes the problem, it's the sweating. Once I start sweating even a bit they just slide right off of my ears.
So these are going on the shelf, and back to my search for a good pair of running headphones...
