Before purchasing these, I tried a cheap pair of wireless JVC because I've had some pretty good luck with them in the past. They were way too quiet and definitely did not stay in my ears at all. Then I tried a pair of wireless Insignia that fit better and were louder, but I really wanted to see what I could do with an upgrade. So I purchased the lower Sony XB50s using an Amazon Price Match because the Best Buy price is way too high. I really liked them but they were just a tad loose in my ears. Since I'm training for a half marathon, that just wasn't going to work for me...
So after reading reviews for this set I returned the XB50s and purchased these and loved them. They are basically the same sound quality and comfort. These have a little less boom in the bass (which I appreciated). I like bass but the XB50s were way too muddy and these can be without proper EQ.
My favorite part is the over-the-ear-hook. I have used that style earbud for years, and I love that they stay in place for me so much better. I didn't find the earpiece too bulky, but I also have kind of larger ears. Also, many have complained of a friction noise generated by the rubbing of the cord on your head/neck. While I could hear it in between songs or during very quiet moments in the song, I probably wouldn't have really noticed without having read that in a review. And when the music was louder (not even turned up all the way, but about 3/4 the way) I couldn't tell at all really.
Overall I really like the set and I am super satisfied. I only leave 4 stars because I do feel as though they are a hair overpriced (maybe $75 or $80) would be better than $100). But it does come with a case which is nice. And it has the little tightening piece to hold the cord taught around your head/neck which is a nice feature than having the cord bounce all over the place while you run (and the tighter it was the less friction noise I heard). I am really happy with the purchase and look forward to using them as i train moving forward!
