Sound Isolation Headphones to Minimise Environmental Noise
With sound isolation, you will hear and enjoy greater music details at a lower volume than is possible with normal headphones. Based on a thorough understanding of the human ear canal anatomy, the sound isolation earphone's angled acoustic design creates a perfect seal between the ambient sound source and the ear canal, thus eliminating unwanted background noise while delivering sound directly to your ears. Even at a moderate volume setting, you can still discern music details without noise distractions from the environment. Earphone sleeves are available in three sizes to provide the best fit.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I seem to go through headphones at a terrible rate, I'm lucky if a pair lasts a month, so I was pleased to be able to try these sports headphones which may, I hope, fare better.
The Good
Robust construction which may well last a reasonable length of time
Clear and distinct sound with good separation, pure highlights, loud but free from distortion or clipping
Selection of earplug fittings supplied
Once in place they are very secure and unlikely come off during jogging or other exercising
Hard case supplied
Clip attached to cord to stop it flapping about when you move around
Waterproof and indeed can be cleaned in running water.
The Bad
No Bass. If you want a bassy sound then walk on, nothing for you here.
Fitting them is a two handed job (three would be better), but maybe that's just me.
No volume control, this is a nuisance with a sports headset as it can be difficult to access you iPhone or MP3 device when jogging
Supplied case is large, and whilst difficult to open still manages to be quite flimsy
In short, these are very much a set for joggers or those who need a headset on the move and of course these are sold as such. This headset is not for audiophiles - the sound is very clear, sharp and unmuggy (is that a word?) but it has to be said the bass frequencies just are not there as they should be in a unit that is by no means cheap. The build quality is good and if you can live with the over the ear hook design (many can't) they will be very secure when in place. Joggers need fear the rain no more as this headset is fully waterproof
For the non bass loving jogger these would be a good buy.

After going through another pair of headphones that were ruined from the rigorous strain and the sweat at the gym i decided to fork out and buy a proper pair of exercise headphones.
SOUND QUAITY
One of the big factors of head sets is the sound quality, this head set offered superb sound, the bass was just right even though i know some have complained about such things on phillips sports headphones but i didn't have any such problem. The noise canceling ear buds were great at blocking out the sounds around me and whatever crap the gym decided to stick on which improves the sound quality in itself.
BUILD QUALITY/DESIGN
The quality of the head phones is quite obvious, its made from strong but flexible plastic that allows it to be shaped to any ear, although it most likely wont be necessary. The cord also seems quite strong but only time will tell on that. Any part of the headphones that sweat may get into is very nicely protected so i have strong faith in their sweat-proof-ness. They are very well designed and fit very snugly in the eat, a lot of head phones i have tried in the past with the noise canceling buds on i have found very uncomfortable and irritating, that is not the case with this headset, it was very comfortable, fit very well and there was no irritation. This may be down to the placement of the ear plugs/buds themselves they are at an unusual angle that i have not seen before, but ether way, it works.
PROBLEMS
The only problems i can find with these headphones is the length of the cord, i think phillips may have over done it a little bit. Even with my phone in my pocket and i am 6'2 so its not a small distance from my ears to my pocket and there is still a lot of excess cord. This is a minor problem and easily solved.
The second problem is that it has no controls on the cord to pause, play or skip music but this too is a minor problem and you adapt pretty quickly
DELIVERY
I was very impressed with the speed of the delivery, i ordered them at 10pm, i got an email confirming dispatch at 11am the next day, they then arrived the following day well packaged and with a specialise carrying case which is a nice touch
CONCLUSION
These are a cracking pair of headphones for anyone who likes to exercise and tired of going from one cheap pair of head phones to the next, the sound is great, they look stylish, well made and most importantly are a very reasonable price

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
Having tried various 'in the ear' earphones without success (they always fall out when I move!) I was keen to try this new product from Philips. These headphones have a unique clip over the ear design with the earphone itself positioned in such a fashion that it sits comfortably in the ear without slipping out, like so many basic earphone styles. A simple twist ensures the earphones sit perfectly in the ear and the pack comes with three different size ear caps so they should fit all ear types. The orange colour sets these headphones aside from the basic black and silver types readily available on the market and each pair of headphones comes with its own black plastic storage case which I think is a great idea rather than leaving them lying around to get dirty. But dirt is not a problem as these headphones can be easily washed to maintain their cleanliness. The other thing I liked about these headphones is the white plastic stay which keeps the two leads in place and the black clip-on fastener which is useful to stop the lead moving around excessively. The sound quality through the headphones was exceptional and as a result I cannot fault this item in any way! Excellent work, Philips!
