I do not like headphones that totally seal in my ears, as this does not do much for my eardrums. Normal in-ear headphones simply fall out so often. I have tried the type that clip over the ear, which are better, but with some energetic exercises these still fall off. I like the fact that they sit in the ear, without sealing it, so give better volume than the type that sit outside.
This new Sony design is great, easy to use, comfortable and it stays in place (it is even splash proof) and of course the sound quality is as you would expect SONY (they were first tried with my 8Gb Sony Walkman, but they also improved the quality from a Philips MP3 player). At this price I think these are great value and quality.

I, like most people, have spent lots of time and money trying to find the perfect earphones for use in the gym and in the majority of cases have ended up disappointed. These seemed like they were ideal due to the enclosed earloop design (having a hook or a loop is the ONLY type of earphone that works comfortably in the gym, believe me), the in ear piece is ideal for comfort, as they don't dig into your ear, and as long as the hook/loop holds them in place the sound quality from Sony is always good with excellent bass.
These started off brilliantly, great sound volume and bass, stayed fixed in place in my ear (only get these if you have above average sized ears), and comfortable. I had finally found the perfect pair...
But, then the big problem. I do tend to sweat in the gym (who doesn't?) and this includes in the ears too... all of a sudden the sound faded completely, to a whisper. Rubbish, I thought I had a faulty pair. But then on the next trip to the gym they were again perfect to start of with, I started sweating again, and hey presto same thing happened, and then for a third time too.
It appears they are NOT sweat or splash resistant and need to dry out before working again. This is a massive disappointment from Sony as I was previously using MDR-J20s from Sony with exactly the same earpiece and they don't have the same problem although they are earhook so can hang off your ear quite frequently.
Sort these out to be sweat/splash resistant and they would be perfect. A shame.

I've tried lots of ear phones designed for sports/on the move and have been mainly disappointed, particularly with canal phones. I've found that they don't stay in the ear, even after changing the pads, the sound is often poor and the drivers not powerful enough.
These score in several ways: the unit fits on the ear and is held securely in place by ear bands. Because it's on the ear not in it the driver can be bigger. The 13mm driver sounds great and is significantly louder than other phones I've tried, so my mp3 player isn't flat out.
Absolute bargain - just about to order another set.

Solid sports headphones
Not the best audio quality, but more than adequate for running with, decent sound quality and loud enough to drown out the outside world! Read more

Overall good value for money
Purchased for use at the gym and was initially worried that they wouldn't stay in place as the rubber surrounds are quite a bit larger than my ears! Read more

Not fitted headphone
I thought that the product will perfectly fit or stick to my ear.
But actually, it is not. The surrounding is much bigger than the ear, and not shapely stick to head. Read more
