in-ear headphones

I bought these to run with but I'm not able to get a snug fit. I've tried to bend them to fit but no luck. They keep falling off. As with all headphones of this type the sound is not very good. I've bought much cheeper headphones with sportclip which work for the purpose of running. These do not! Atleast not for me.

I bought these to replace some Sony clipon headphones that died. For the price I got them at ($9.99), they work wonderfully. They are very comfortable, the foam is somewhat durable, unlike other brands, and they won't fall out of your ear like earbuds usually do. The clips are easily adjustable to fit however large your ear is. These headphones are also VERY portable with a small mp3 player. The red/silver combo looks very sharp and nice also.

The sound quality is good for the price, but is not very good if you are a picky audiophile. The sound is quite tinny, and you end up pressing them very far into your ear if you really want to hear the bass. Volume doesn't go very high either before becoming indistinguishable.

I've been using (and abusing) my set for about 6 months now with my Sony Discman CD player (on usually pretty high volume), and neither side has lost volume, the ear foam is still in good shape, and nothing is broken or physically or mechanically wrong with it. If you are looking for a true audio experience I would spend a little bit more and buy some better quality headphones, such as the Sony MDR-G72 collapsable behind the neck headphones.

I give these about a 3 and 1/2 stars, but since that isn't an option I'll just round up to 4 stars. The amazon price of $12 is fairly competitive.

First of all, just so you know, I am NOT an audiophile. I'm simply a person with a two-hour commute each way who likes to keep her ears busy with music and audiobooks. I recently purchased an Ipod, and, after getting tired of having the earbuds fall out, purchased these to replace those that came with the Ipod. I love them. Not being an audiophile, I would hesitate to rave about the sound, but I have had NO complaints with it whatsoever. The sound is loud enough, clear enough, and true enough, to come through richly and warmly even on a noisy bus. They don't tend to fall off (even if I fall asleep in them), and they take up no space in my already packed purse. I highly recommend these.
