Be careful what you wish for

After tolerating the annoyance of my MP3 player's earbuds for over a year, I decided to spend a few dollars to get some headphones that wouldn't fall out during a workout.
I considered several different sets of headphones here on Amazon, and I finally settled on these. I noted the caveats of other reviewers about the tight fit, but I figured that tight fit was excactly what I was after, anyway. After a few workouts with these headphones, here's my thoughts:
The reviewers who pointed out the tight fit were not kidding. These things will never come out of your ears; running, crunches, whatever. The price to be paid for this is definite discomfort. The first ten or fifteen minutes are tolerable, but by the end of your first half-hour with these things in, your ears will really hurt.
I'm not a sound quality guru by any means, but the sound from the headphones seems to be just fine.
In addition to the fit there's a couple of other criticisms to be made about the design, although they're really just nitpicks. This headset has its own volume adjustor built in to the cord, which I imagine will be redundant for 90% of its users (it certainly is for me). The cord is also wound into a spiral for part of the length (kind of like an old pre-cordless telephone), which looks somewhat odd.
So all told, if you want a pair of headphones that you won't have to keep putting back into your ears when you're working out, then these are for you.. provided that you have an extraordinary tolerance for pain. I'll most likely be picking up some other headphones shortly. |
