I bought these for my girlfriend as a christmas gift and she absolutely loves them. I have tried them out since she was making me excited for how good they were. The sound quality is great as it usually is from sony and they stay on your head. We both like them so much because they come with a shorter cord incase you have an IPod arm band or something of the sorts, and also an extension in case you are using it in a different manner. I am going to buy a pair for myself soon enough.

I bought this product with simple expectations - I just knew that I hate typical ear buds, but I needed something comfortable to run with. They turned out to be perfect for that use.. the soft rubber buds are very comfortable to wear, and do not move out of place while running. The cord adjuster turned out to be a lot more useful than I had imagined, too. I've found it useful for many situations, and the design of it is simple in both implementation and storage. The spiral neck is great while you're not wearing them, but I found it made the headphones a little confusing to put on, at first. After that initial moment, however, I haven't had any issues with them. Overall, I'd say this is a great product - the sound quality is great for any kind of listening, they're comfortable to wear, and easy to store.

These were hands down the best pair of sport headphones I owned. That is, for the 8 months they transmitted sound to each ear. I was never harsh with them- never throwing them, collapsing them, squashing them... only sweating on them. Pretty disappointed. 'Twas a sad day indeed when the left "ear" went out.

These are the ideal headphone for running and lifting weights. While searching for the right phones I tried the KSC 75, PMX 80, Sony S2, CX 300 and PMX 100. Only the AS 50G gave me a full bass presence, limited strereophonics, and a neckband that did not hit on the gym equipment (i.e. bench press). I find the sound quality very good for an exercise phone. As with any ear canal phone you need a good seal and when achieved, bass response is strong if not slightly overpowering for rock/metal. I found these phones truly stand out with pop music like Lady Gaga but sound solid with just about all music tastes. I'd probably recommend the PX100 as a second choice however I was trying to avoid the wet earpads. One of my only critiques is that the wire clip is not user friendly but can be easily changed. Finally, as with any ear canal phones these do isolate so some may be concerned about running outside. Personally, I've found that looking both ways before crossing a street has been pretty effective in minimizing risk.

Light, comfortable, excellent sound ... I am wondering about the reliability ... but hands down so far for these headphones.
