I've had this product for 3-6 months

The worst pair of headphones that I have ever purchased. I went through three pair and returned all three pair. The right earbud always stopped working and the left one would get a static noise. i was refunded for all three pair, however it was inconvenient. I went back to using the Apple ear buds that come standard with the ipod.

3rd Pair of Headphones in a Year

Pros: Stay on, good price

Cons: Can't wear behind head

I seem to constantly break headphones. This is my 3rd pair in a year, and it seems to be working out. Also, these DO NOT fall out when running which is great. The only problem I have is that one cord should be longer than the other like some other headphones I've had so the cords are behind you. Only complaint.

Best earbuds I ever purchased

I work in the lawm maintenance business, so I need head phones that are not cumbersome, but can stand up to the elements. These head phones are the perfect ones for the job. They don't fall out, they're comfortable, and they sound great with my Sony A818 mp3 player. I never leave home without them. (just a tip: when you are working around things that can snag the head phone wires, tuck them under your shirt)

Great headphones

Pros: Very comfortable, great design

I don't know why the other reviewers have given these headphones such bad reviews. I really like them. I don't know how they could fall out of your ears unless you are wearing them wrong. I've ran with them, worked out, shook my head trying to get them to fall out, and they won't budge. Design is awesome. Sound quality is really good too. Nice balance, bass is good. Overall, definitely recommended, especially for workouts. Great value for the price.

Comfortable, but no sound quality

Pros: comfort

Cons: no fidelity or bass

There are very few types of in-ear headphones that I can stand to wear, overall, I like the design, but the problem is that Sony put in cheap drivers, if they would just correct this issue, I would love to own a pair, but as is, it's back to the store for this pair. Sony, please fix this.

Poor Design

Pros: Sound

Cons: Design

These do not stay in my ears period. I got them for running and working out, but they pop out of my ears while working out, cycling, or running. Do not buy them
