I was looking for a sweat proof headphone and this product fits the bill.The only issue is that the cable is coiled which is both a positive and negative design feature. When running, the cable will bounce everywhere unless I hold it down. I guess I could get a cable clip to hold it down. On the positive side, if the cable gets caught on something, there is a some slack in the coiled cable design.
Especially when you are sweating heavily on a four mile run. It has decent lows but the highs are very dull and all my music sounds like lower quality mp3 recordings.
The Sony headphones sounded good but couldn't stand up to a vigorous workout. I recently picked up these headphones when my Sony MDR-AS30G headphones shorted out after using them for long runs.
The only thing I think needs improving is the sound quality. These headphones have a water resistant silicone outer cover for the drivers and a comfortable yet highly stable behind the neck strap.
These headphones do not budge while running and I haven't had any problems with them yet. This is tolerable since I am using these for the gym or running and sound quality is not as important as durability.
I recommend these headphones for any active person out there.
However, I would've really liked to see the audio plug be a an angled plug rather than straight, but it's not a big deal.Overall, I'd recommend these for anyone who goes to the gym, jogs, rides, etc., and sweats a lot. These headphones have a great sound and really good base response. I also really like the reactive coiled cable, it's kind of like a spring and doesn't get tangled. I've been through many pairs of headphones over the years using my mp3 player while working out, and it's usually due to to much moisture or the cord shorting out. These headphones have both cases covered.
