Fell apart the first time I used them
Pros: none about the product.
Thank goodness for newegg's return policy.
Cons: Mediocre sound quality. The first time I used them, the white outside covering came off of the right earbud. Make sure to save your receipt if you get a pair.

Painful
Pros: Great sound. High audio quality is something I look for in headphones.
Cons: Incredibly painful to wear. According to the directions of how the user is suppose to wear them, the extra pad sits just above the hole in your ear. Even with the smallest pads attached (it comes with three sizes), they still hurt my ears almost instantly.
Other Thoughts: These didn't fit my ears, but perhaps they fit for some people. If you have the opportunity, try someone else's before you decide to buy them and find out the hard way that they may not fit.

Scratches an itch
Pros: Excellent sound, innovative design, long cord, nice little case that can fit both the ear buds and an iPod shuffle. Once you get them in place, they stay there. Water-resistant. Relatively good feel in the ear.
Cons: Not OVERLY comfortable. My left ear begins to hurt after a while - though I think it's just getting used to these earbuds (when I first used my iPod crapper earbuds my ears hurt for a couple weeks.)
I don't see much point in the "asymmetrical" wire setup. It's kind of annoying, frankly. The wires also have serious "memory."
Other Thoughts: I needed earbuds that would stay in place during workouts, and these fit the bill. Far superior to the iPod buds, and worth the money if you'll be using them for high activity. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

These are great FOR RUNNERS!!!!!
Pros: I read the other reviews and people were telling me that they had a hard time putting it in their ear... You actually turn it backwards in a counter clockwise position until it is tight (Don't turn too tight, just so it's comfortable and tight enough where it won't fall out). I run a lot so these are great! I listen to music everyday and the quality is pretty good.
Cons: If you turn it too hard, it can hurt your ear just a little bit, but you get use to it. I've gotten use to it so I know how to adjust it where it's comfortable. AND even if it did hurt a tiny miniscule bit, it's WAAAAAYYYYYY more tolerable than READJUSTING your head phones when you're running every 5 seconds!!! Wires are coiled up, but that's easily overlooked. People say it's an ugly green, but I love attention so I don't mind girls commenting on the green. =)
Other Thoughts: All in all I am very impressed with this. I have been looking around forever for something to run with that does not pop out. I've bought over 4 different earphones in the last year. This is something you should definately look into. I am concerned on one thing on reviews where the wire strip starts to wear out fairly quickly... I have not experienced this yet, but I take very good care of my earphones so hopefully I won't come across this. Hope this helps!

surprisingly bad
Pros: Sounded good, comfortable fit, matched the color of ipod mini.
Cons: Within a few months, the protective rubber coating along the longer earbud cord started tearing in several places, exposing bare wire. This was a gift, too! I was stunned.
Other Thoughts: In their defense, I did not try to remedy this, but it was past the 30 day return policy.

Excellent product
Pros: The product has worked as advertised. I like the fact that the headphones are external, allowing less chance for ear damage. Most importantly they stay in place during long runs without having to resort to hats or headbands, just as the other reviewers suggested.
Cons: The instructions could be much better. It took a little fiddling to figure out exactly how to take advantage of the design so that the earpieces would stay in place.
Other Thoughts: I tried several different products before I found a review suggesting the Sennheiser headphones. The reviews on Newegg were accurate and useful.

Descent sounding headphones that fit comfortably
Pros: It fits as advertised, it will not come out of your ear during a light work out such as running or lifting weights. It get compliments on it since, these headphones look very unique. The sound isn't bad, but it isn't spectacular. Sound is balanced, but lacks low end punch.
Cons: They're bright green. Maybe they were designed to stand out at night if you go out running, I really don't know. The wire gets caught on itself and tends to get tangled quite often. It lets in alot of outside sound, which could be a pro if your outside running and want to hear if there are cars coming at you.
Other Thoughts: Get this if your gonna work out with it. Get it if your going to do alot of running outside. Don't get this if your gonna have more casual usages for it, like walking or sitting to listen to music, there are probably better choices out there for you.

Great for running.
Pros: Fits in ear and doesn't fall out. Good enough sound for my running/ lifting purpose. Cost effective solution for annoying headphone problems.
Cons: Requires some movement/ getting used to to fit properly in the ear. I see this as normal and if the plugs don't fall out, it has done it's purpose.
Other Thoughts: I am very happy.

Works Great
Pros: Durable, Fast and works as expected.
Cons: Only con is the actual space available is 3.75GB not the 4GB as advertised. But not that big of a deal.

Best so far
Pros: Best sounding ear buds so far. I use these for running and they really have transformed the experience. Highly recommended. Excellent dynamic range. Great transient response. Crisp and clear throughout the spectrum.
Bass is clean, but like most ear buds there is a roll-off. The "B" string on a 5-string bass gets lost in the mix on my iPod Shuffle unless it's a lead part or the bass player opens the song.
No problem with them staying in your ears. Has a cool clip on the cable. Highly recommended.
Cons: No cons, and I am hard to please!
Other Thoughts: Ultra-cool green color!

Great Workout Earbuds
Pros: Good sound Stay in the ear, but don't have anything to get in the way of hats, hair, sunglasses, etc. Sturdy cord and plug. Design allows environmental sounds to filter in.
Cons: Takes some experimentation to get the right fit. Covers have a tendency to fall off. Color is ugly as sin.
Other Thoughts: I've had these for 9 months now, and I'm very happy with them. First, the sound. Sennheiser has a good reputation for sound quality, and these are worthy of that. Mid and high range is very good, but (as you would expect) don't expect awesome bass. These do a nice job (after you play around with them) of staying in the ear. They act like earbuds (nothing on the head or neck) but don't block the canal, so you can hear noise (absolutely necessary for safety when running, etc, outside). The color is the absolute pits, though.

Awesome
Pros: They fit! I've gone through about half a dozen different earbuds, trying to find ones that stay in my ears. I guess my ears are shaped weird because most earbuds fall out when I tilt my head sideways, but these ones stay in even when I pull on the cords. I ran a subwoofer test song through these and the bass is deep and crystal clear. I didn't know that kind of bass could come from earbuds.
Cons: Cord spirals and gets tangled if you let it bunch up.

Great!
Pros: Great headphones specifically the fit while your running or doing other sports. Good enough sound for me as I'm no audiophile.
Cons: Wife finds the fit a little harsh in her ears until we swapped out the pads for a different size
Other Thoughts: none

Great sound, pretty comfortable, just don't like the color.
Pros: Well, it's got great bass, especially when you add on the rubber parts that block out other sound. They even act a little bit noise-canceling. You can't hear much of what's going on around you, even when they're on low volume, which is a good thing.
Cons: The only con is the color... go for the black ones and you'll be grateful, unless you're really fond of green.

Great Headphones for the Gym
Pros: Great semi-custom fit, crisp mid-high tone sound, comes with carrying case, has multiple fittings, includes optional clip on
Cons: Pain after 30 minutes use (one of my ears is more sensitive than the other), low quality bass, cord is permanently coiled with can be quite annoying and tangles very easily when compacted for transportation (ie. carrying case)
Other Thoughts: If you're looking for the best valued earphones for working out in, get this (unfortunately it only comes in one color; green)

stay-put design gives OK performance for small ears
Pros: - stays in ears under any circumstances short of chord yanking - extra clip keeps chord in place - chord isn't too long - excellent range of low frequencies despite being earbuds - non-isolating design allows you to hear cars behind you and people talking to you - configurable for any sized ear - did i mention that they STAY IN YOUR EARS + + + + +
Cons: almost no bass for small ears despite configurable design (you can hear it but you can't feel it) - L-shaped plug snags inside pockets and swivels into annoying positions - headphones constantly tangle themselves with the chord and the storage case makes it worse - painful to wear for more than an hour - white and neon green colors are effeminate and the buds come very close to looking like earrings - the plastic pieces extending from the buds are idiotically long and make wearing these with winter hats more painful
Other Thoughts: these are solid headphones with intuitive design. i bought these because they stay in my small ears better than ANY OTHER headphones out there. the small discs above the earbud are poorly molded and have pain-inducing lines protruding from the perimeter, but that is easily fixed with a little shave. these headphones are best suited for active people who need earbuds that stay put, especially if you have small ears. FOR SMALL EARS the performance difference between these and the $25 type (black) is negligible, so save yourself the money and buy the cheaper type.

Great Ear Buds, ??? durability
Pros: Great sound from an earbud when they are worn properly. They really dont fall out easily.
Cons: After about 6 months of regular use the cord became frayed from the split to the right ear bud. They still work fine but I expected better quality from a high level brand. They can make your ear hurt when worn for longer periods.
Other Thoughts: I dont know if I was rough on these or what but the cord became frayed a little to easy for my taste. The sound is fantastic and I never have actually had these fall out of my ears, they do loosen up and require repositioning while running but it is way better than picking them up from your shirt every 5 minutes. Sound could use a little more bass but is above average for an earbud. Overall i reccommend them but would say to store them some way besides the included case in hopes that you wont have cord fraying issues like me. The cord from the split to the right ear bud on mine is about halfway split so that the wires come out from the coating for about half of the length. maybe it was just a bad set?

Great Quality Headphones
Pros: These earbuds are comfortable and lock in so they won't fall out. Pleased with the purchase of these earbuds. Carry case is convenient also. These are built with quality.
Cons: Only one thing that annoys me is the cord stays coiled. Trying to stretch it out does no good. Maybe it's coiled for a reason, but have not yet found that reason.

Best Earbuds for Runners!!
Pros: These earbuds are really ideal for runners. I sweat a lot when I run, so with my previous earbuds (used both ipod, Sony's, and Panasonic earbuds) All of them about halfway through my run one earbud would go out because of all the sweat, so I could only listen to one side. Also some of my Sony's just plain went out on me or they would fall out during my run. These earbuds don't do any of that. They stay in your ear the entire run and we can hear clearly from both earbuds. The sound quality is phenomenal.
Cons: Not a big fan of the neon green color.
Other Thoughts: These are well worth the money, and I recommend these pair of earbuds to anyone I know looking for good a running or workout earbuds. Once again Newegg you Rock!!!

Give 'em a chance....
Pros: Great sound quality, neat design, lots of fitting options, and they DON'T FALL OUT when I run.
Cons: You have to let your ears get used to them. They hurt when I first put them in, but once my ears got accustomed to them, they were great.
Other Thoughts: Finding good earphones to exercise with is certainly a challenge. I've tried more than my fair share of different styles...I shutter to think of how much I've spent over the past few years. I've tried regular band style, regular ear buds, ear plug style with & without an ear clip, pad style with ear clips...the list goes on. My really pricey Sony plug-style earphones (which retreated at the first drop of sweat) died & I found the MX75's on clearance and I'm done searching. If these break or get lost, I'll buy another pair. I'm sure you can find better sounding phones, but not at this price point. They're comfortable AFTER your ears get used to them...just be patient with them. But most importantly, they stay put!!! So much that I've had trouble getting them out a couple times(and I'm OK with that). I can't say enough good about these, so I'll shut up before I keep rambling on. Buy them. Now.

Right cord is longer
Pros: Good sound, long cord, nice color
Cons: Didn't realize the right cord is longer. Since I use it for desk work most the time, I removed the little green rests on the top, which would be better for runners (they intentionally pop on and off)
Other Thoughts: Main cord is 4' and then it splits into a 7" left cord and 14" right cord, designed for runners, but I use it for desk work most of the time. No complaints

My poor little ears
Pros: Good sound, muffles outside noise a little, bright color makes it easy to find. Also comes with different sizes of pads for different sizes of ears.
Cons: I thought this would be ok, but after wearing them my ears really hurt. The mechanism they use to keep them in your ears just ended up making mine hurt. Small ears beware.
Other Thoughts: It doesn't give any direction on how the earbud is supposed to be placed in your ear, so I might be doing it wrong.

Excellent Earbuds for Runners
Pros: I jog for a little under an hour every morning, and these things stay exactly where I put them, no matter how much I sweat. I've never owned another pair of earbuds that even came close to that kind of staying power. Even better, they're comfortable enough that I can forget I have anything in my ears. The sound quality is very good-- better than I expected for the price.
Cons: None I've noticed so far. At first I thought the cord would irritate me, but the clip does a good job of keeping it under control.
Other Thoughts: Money well spent. I'd recommend these to anyone who hates having to stop and fuss with wandering earbuds during a workout.

Actually stay in your ears while running!
Pros: Of all the sport headphones I've tried, these are absolutely the best. Others would inevitably pop out of my ears after a mile or two (when sweat started to run into my ears). The twist-lock system sounds odd but really does lock the headphones into your ears. They stayed in place for my entire 8 mile run.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: If you're sick of headphones popping out and about to give up on listening to music while running, definitely try these.

nice phones
Pros: Takes some fitting but they stay in place comfortably and sound great. Appreciate the longer cord for eliptical machine/ biking use.
Cons: They don't burn calories.

Another Weird Ergonomic Design
Pros: Very very good sound, seemingly sturdy, cool travel case.
Cons: Weird design-- made me feel self-conscious
Other Thoughts: This is the second set of Senheisser head phones I've decided to return due to bizarre design. The other was their normal-seeming sport earbuds that purported to be "perfect for sport" and yet fell out five times while jogging down the street the first time I used them. Unlike those, this design is at least functional, though truly bizarre.

Best Headphones Yet!
Pros: Stay's in your ear, no matter what! Interchangable sizes. The clip keeps cord in place. Bright green matches my Ipod (yea...not important, but I like it...). Sound is better/comparable to headphones in the same price range.
Cons: Took about a week to figure out which combination of earpieces (there are 4, 2 for the actual speaker peice, and 2 for what stabilizes against your ear) worked best while jogging.
Other Thoughts: Out of the box it was easy to figure out exactly how to use them (some posts complain that they were confused as how to put them in your ear), just a matter of figuring out with the ear peices what's most comfortable. I went through at least 4 different types of headphones, all highly suggested, before I found these. They actually stay in your ear! I must have the craziest ears ever, cause nothing would ever stay. Will have to say, I took them on a real long flight, and after awhile, the top peice that presses against your ear got annoying, but, 8 hours of anything pressed to your body would probably be annoying.

Excellent! No Complaints!
Pros: This earbuds are excellent! Different sizes to fit your ear perfectly and once you find it, the sound is great. I've spen so many months trying to look for earbuds that stay in and produce clarity with bass. I found what I was looking for.l The neon green did get a little used to, but it's great! I've had it for about...10 months now and I have no regrets.
Cons: The spiral thing seems to stay, but it's made up with the little clip attached to it. Not much a problem at all. The left ear bud is short and right is longer, but it's not so bad. I just wrap the right earbud cord around the back of my neck and you're good to go. Helps get rid of the cord flying everywhere.

The perfect blend
Pros: This is the perfect blend of sports head phone fit and sound quality. These head phones stay put under any sports/exercise condition. The sound is great for what they are and the price you pay for them. I have had mine for almost a year and I just don't sweat, I rain, but I have never had a problem with these not performing, unlike every pair of Sonys I have owned. I love the color, as I like the change from drap black or white.
Cons: The only con I have is the problem I have experienced with the cord and the clip, after every day use for almost a year, the place where the clip is on the cord has torn the green outer shield and will soon end the life of these phone unless I tape it. But really I have gotten my money out of them, so I really can't complain to much
Other Thoughts: If you are an avid exerciser you will love these phones.

Perfect for exercise!
Pros: They do lock into your ears, they will not fall out if you have both of them secured with the correct size grommets. Come with MANY different grommets to fit your ear, no matter how misformed it may be.
Cons: Doesn't have all the bass I'd like, but makes up for that with perfect mids and highs. The neon green isn't my fav.
Other Thoughts: The locking mechanism doesn't work correctly if you run with only one earphone in, both have to be in your ears for it to work correctly.

Excellent Workout Headphones
Pros: I'm through two weeks of workouts with these headphones and am thoroughly pleased. They stay securely in my ears while running, jumping rope, and even while laying down for crunches or on a bench. Man, does that make me happy, considering there were times that I almost threw my old iPod earbuds across the room after they'd fall out (constantly). Equally impressive is that they seem impervious to my sweat; my previous headphones would become muffled and awful if a drop of sweat ran into my ear. I was constantly stopping to clean them out. There is no such effect on these. Much better sound than any standard earbud, and better noise reduction. These are PERFECT for working out/running/whatever. I am completely satisfied.
Cons: I do see that the cord seems permanently spiraled, but it has yet to bother me or cause me trouble. Not much to complain about.
Other Thoughts: I strongly recommend these for anyone who is tired of the severe shortcomings of other earbuds in a workout setting. These headphones are worth every penny.

First earbuds I've found to stay in my ear
Pros: I have a problem with earbuds staying in my ear and generally avoid them as a result. These lock in the ear and don't fall out, but are still comfortable. I also didn't care much for the sound of most earbuds, but these being Sennheiser, I thought I'd give them a shot. They sound great. I use them in the office, and they allow me to hear my coworkers should I need to hear them, unless I turn them up.
Cons: I don't know if this is the earbuds, the computer they are hooked up to, or just me, but they seem to attract electric static very easily. It's not fun to be shocked in the ear :( The cord is not as flexible as I like, but that's minor. Ok, maybe I'm just nitpicking.
Other Thoughts: Great earbuds if you are willing to spend a bit for a good set. They sound great and stay in the ear. I haven't tried working out with them because I'd prefer to sweat on my cheaper earbuds.

Awesome!
Pros: They sound great, im a total audiophile, and if anyone says the bass is not good, they arent listening to the right music, or its in a low bitrate. If you take the time to match the silicon pieces to what works best they are comfortable and fit great. Very affordable.
Cons: If you have your music in a low bitrate, you can really tell.
Other Thoughts: considering these cost only thirty*five dollars they are amazing, and out perform many of shure's and other companys headphones, which are in the hundred or two hundred range.

Not what I was hoping for
Pros: Nice new design is somewhat uncomfortable at first, but it's alright. Decent sound, but lacking in bass.
Cons: Assymetrical cord is slightly bothersome. The fit on these is alright, but they have 0 resistance to sweat. After about a week mine started sounding terrible, then one ear just quit working. I bought them for working out, and they aren't cutting it as well as my 10 sony headphones.

Not just for workouts
Pros: Stay put during even the most strenuous of activities (running and rowing so far); sound quality overall is simply excellent; just enough isolation - background noise is muted, but you can still hear that SUV that's about to plow over you; selection of earpads allows customization of fit; per manual, can be rinsed under a tap if you really get 'em sweaty/nasty/funky.
Cons: Well, if you don't like nuclear waste green...I personally rather like the look, though.
Other Thoughts: I have small ears, and earbuds continually fall out. These things are absolutely locked in. The bonus? Unlike the "hook over the ear" types I've tried from other manufacturers (three different brands), these actually sound great. There's solid low end grunt, and the highs are there (after I tweaked the equalizer settings somewhat on the high end). I *love* these things, whether I'm exercising or not.

Weak Sauce
Pros: Decent sound, Cord is a good length, have a high quality feel.
Cons: The sound is no better then my factory iriver earbuds (which are pretty good). The mids and highs are a bit clearer, but the bass response is worse. Bottom line is that I expected much more for this price. Maybe its just me, but I also have trouble getting them to fit im my ears well.
Other Thoughts: if you need them for staying in and being less ear-intrusive, go for it. Otherwise go for Shure E2c's or sony fontopias. I wanted good sound, and am very disapointed.

Not bad... I think I got a dud
Pros: The sound was good while they worked, and they were very secure. After about a week my ears adjusted to them and they felt good. I usually have a very hard time finding earbuds that don't hurt my ears. The little tab allows them to sit farther outside of the ear canal, which is great for people with tiny ears like me.
Cons: The left earbud died within 2 weeks of light use. The little silicone carrying case is a bit silly. The adjustable pads fall off more than I would like.
Other Thoughts: They sound great for the price and other people have not had the durability problem I had, so it's probably just a fluke. They stay in very well which is really the one feature that sets them apart from other earbuds.

Satisfied
Pros: Chrisp, non-tinney highes, full robust mids, and well pronounced lows. easily the best response spectrum i've ever heard in ear bud head phones. obviously not the same sound quality you're going to get from over ear phones but for ear buds they are unsurpased.
fits very well in ear with 2 adjustable pieces on each bud. package even includes extras of the standard mid size options for both slots to replace worn out or lost parts. stays in ear even through sweat extreamly well.
Cons: non ridgid case makes for poor protection. sutable for pocket trasportation to keep lent out of ear phones but not very sutable for packing in a suitcase or packback without other ridgid objects.
Other Thoughts: if you want the best possible sound quailty from headphones no matter the size get over ear phones. if you get ear buds don't be suprised when they don't sound as good, there's considerably less hardware in them and they have a greatly diminshed capacity to block out external noise simply due to size. if you want ear buds for the convince of size when you're on the go, especially exercising, these are the best you can buy.

Best I've Ever Used...
Pros: Three 30+ minute runs, three A+ grades. No slipping, no discomfort, and no sound distortion even when I sweat. Great product!
Cons: They do take a good amount of power to drive the speakers, but that being said, they fit so snugly that they more than compensate. This con is rated maybe a 2 / 10 on annoyance factor. arely noticeable.
Other Thoughts: For $xx, you cannot beat this product. Time will tell on how long they last as I am pretty tough on headphones, but so far, VERY pleased.

Cord is the only weakness, still a 5
Pros: They stay in and dont feel like they will fall out. Sweat resistant. Come with many adjustable pieces to custom fit to your ear. The sound is good for the price, highs and lows in proportion. Long cord. Nice pouch to keep them in. Comfortable.
Cons: The gray foamies that cover the earphone reduce sound quality quite a bit. I dont use them. When you put the headphones in the pouch they tangle. The cord is a mix of those spiral headphone cables and straight cables. The loop size depends on the amount of twist in the line or the length stretched to. Picture a stretched out slinky. Its good in that it keeps the cord light weight feeling and hides it's length but CANNOT be straightened. Once on and untangled they stay untangled.
Other Thoughts: I give them 5 eggs since the cable issue is a personal preference. For some Im sure its a real bonus. Newegg fast as always.

they stay put and sound great doing it
Pros: Unlike the Sony ear canal models I've tried 71 and 81, these truly stay put. They seem to sound great while doing it too. I'm just happy I, finally, have something I can use running. They even come with a fun rubber pouch with a magnetic fastener. It's easy to stash them quickly. No finicky winding process (Sony case).
Cons: Not so sure on the green. They do seem to require more power than others. Then again, this might save the hearing of many.
Other Thoughts: All in all, a seriously solid product with a thoughtful design!

just ok
Pros: they do stay on my ears better than some others I have tried. Have good sound and fair bass.
Cons: they seem to take alot of power to drive so if your player has low power output to start with these may not be what you are looking for. I use my player when mowing the lawn and I have to turn player volume to max to be able to hear. Also they are not that great fitting for my ears.
