Truly Sweat-Proof. Best Ever.
on March 5, 2012
Posted by: 5kRunner
Gender:Female
I've been using the same pair of these earbuds for well over a year now, so decided to finally write a review! I have worn them on at least 200 runs and they're truly sweat-proof. Several months ago I put them through the wash (left them in a pocket completely by accident) and was upset, assuming I had ruined them - they still work! (though I wouldn't recommend purposely doing this, ha). I seriously can't believe I've had them for so long, considering I normally go through a couple sets per year. I am honestly a customer for life now! These can't be beat if you're looking for sweat-proof buds.
Pros: removable bud covers - can clean them, truly sweat-proof, have lasted >1 year, affordable
Cons: red color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best of all the sweat proof brands

I've been using this for almost 2 years now, never did it cause a problem for me. I think that you have to fit the buds nicely so that it will produce the "Bass" that you guys are looking for, initially i did not notice that this had a good sounding bass, but when i changed the buds and fit it nicely into my ears then that was the time i noticed the good sound it had.
Pros: simple yet effective
Cons: hard to figure the buds at first :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for running or working out
on May 3, 2012
Posted by: Swausie
Gender:Male
I bought these headphones for the purpose of being able to go out jogging with music and they are perfect for that. Great fit and certainly sweat proof. I forgot them in my pocket when washing my jeans and after taking them out from the washing machine I plugged them in and they worked perfectly, which made me excited :)
The downside of them is that the sound doesn't have much bass, no matter how you equalize it, so you don't hear the full potential of the song which gets a bit weak
They are absolutely worth the money if you use them for running but, they don't meet the qualities other brands have considering casual, enjoyable listening.
Pros: excellet fit, water proof, good design
Cons: lack of depth and bass
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sound is good, but they don't fit that well to your ear

I bought them few months ago because I was looking for in-ear headphones providing a good sound quality but strong and resistant, to train and run. These seemed to be the perfect choice. With other headphones I had the problem that the would become loose as soon as I start sweating. This model was suppose to fix that too, because of its "Ultra-Soft Silicon Caps Sit Comfortably In Ears" with three different sizes.
I must admit, the only thing that fails about them is that they sit too comfortable in my ears, so much, that they start moving and eventually falling off my ears when I run for a while. And I am using the biggest of the three cap sizes.
Conclusion: These are designed for a specific purpose, and they fail to achieve it. I have read similar complaints about this product.
Pros: sound quality, resistance
Cons: ergonomics, not really suitable for running
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Most long lasting earbuds-stand up to wear and tear.
on December 14, 2012
Posted by: MusicListener
Gender:Female
These are the best earbuds I've ever used. I've had them for well over two years now, and they still work perfectly. I don't use them for workout, I purchased them solely because I was looking for an inexpensive pair of headphones that would project sound into my ears without being "in ear" headphones.
I'm very surprised that they still work as the 'competitor I cannot name in review' ones I got with my 'popular fruit-themed brand mp3 player' have always stopped working after a few months of not particularly strenuous use.
Obviously, for the price point you are not going to get the most AMAZING sound quality-but there is no fuzziness or dullness in the sound, it is just perhaps not as sharp of quality as you might get with a more expensive model.
Pros: long lasting, comfortable, reasonable sound quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm out of earcaps.
on September 14, 2013

Gender:Male
Sound is excellent; fit is good; but that earcaps (i don't know and when) it will fall off. when I'm just walking talking with someone it's usually hanging from my neck. Then when I'm about to use it the left (it's always have to be the left) is gone. I'm out of cap. they should start selling caps separately. I can't find earcaps replacement anywhere! It's just 3 months when i bought this.
Cons: earcaps easily detached
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great item but hard to find replacement parts
on March 22, 2015

These are a great item. I bought them for my daughter who is a very active equestrian competing in cross country events and show jumping. She wears these everyday, sometimes all day in any weather they are very durable. Unfortunately the ear bud covers have all ripped and we cannot find replacement parts for them anywhere! I hate to have to buy her a different brand as these are the first to have survived more than a month with her active lifestyle. They are not comfortable without the cover.

So Disappointed
on September 29, 2012
Posted by: Tizz

I am very disappointed in this product. I purchased these headphones to listen to music during runs and workouts. I was very happy with the fit and comfort of these headphones, but disappointingly, the left earbud disconnected from the wire during my second workout. I too, go through several pairs of headphones throughout the year, but have never lost a pair so quickly.
I gave the headphones a two for design only because they are so comfortable.
