 Great sound quality for the price! July 31, 2008
These headphones sound amazing for the price. The bass and treble are outstanding when hooked up to my Zune, better than the high-quality ear buds that came with the Zune.
I've used them daily in the gym for a few months and they are still going strong. Also the cord protection dealie works great! I got the cord caught on something which would have normally ripped it out of the headphone, but they were 100% fine.
They're great for working out, riding a bike, jogging or just plain old headphone use.
They are comfortable and can most likely accomdate most head sizes (I have an average size head and there is a little room left between my neck and the band, but this does not detract from the comfort).
I would highly recommend these headphones to anyone who appreciates the sound of good music.
 Good, but uncomfortable over long use. July 25, 2008
The sound quality of the headphones are exactly what you would expect and somewhat better for the price. If you keep them on for too long during a session they become uncomfortable. Be sure to take them off when you don't need them. Other than that, they're a good set for the price and they look nice too.
 Be Careful of purchasing....Disappointed! July 8, 2008

I had heard such high praises for these headphones that I made sure I was getting the exact model everyone said was so great. While they physically WORK as headphones, there are a a lot of cons to having these that it really may not be for your usage.
I bought these to wear to walk to and from the bus stop/work while listening to music/podcasts, and while they physically worked, they block minimal sound resulting in having to turn up the volume much louder than you normally would. The 'reflective' part doesn't really do much, so don't depend on it in low-light situations. Plus any amount of sweating/moisture makes the 'reflective' material begin to flake off within a month or two. These headphones also keep moisture longer than most headphones I have previously used.
Pros:
*Bass sounds very nice in most music
*Wrap around/neckband fits well on ears/head
*Plug fits well in pretty much any device without plastic plug blocking the port(including iPod/iPod Touch and Pioneer XM Inno)
*Fabric-like cord to help stop snagging and has spring-like function in headphones to help stop ripping the cord if caught
Cons:
*Holds in Moisture much longer than most headphones in both band and ear pieces
*'Reflective' material does not really work well and flakes off after a couple month's use, making the headphones look very ratty and used, leaving a sticky surface
*Headphones arrived with the cardboard back not secured correctly to the package
*Due to very stiff, large neckband, very hard to store
Overall if you are looking to get a pair of headphones at a good price and can listen in a quiet area, this pair could work for you. If you are looking to do any kind of activity or your surroundings are not quiet, I would suggest passing on these. Not for any kind of activity that could result in sweat.
niceness May 29, 2008
For the price, these are best headphones i have bought, very comfortable great sound, super lightweight, reflective fabric in back is my only complaint, though safe for running on roads and the such i don't need this safety, but this is trivial only detracts from the look a little. I just bought my second pair.
Great for its price May 18, 2008
Couldn't expect much better out of this head phones in this class at this price. It has a nice reflective band, and a nylon wire attached to main wire near the ear for a support when running. Although its not very loud, its clear and it works great for running. The ear pads on them also doesn't come off unlike a lot of head phones where the foam part can fall of and it becomes extremely uncomfortable. These are built in. I recommend these, if your looking for a cheap running head phones for around 15$.
