Great for running, not so good if you sweat!,
 Â
As headphones, these are a great pair. The sound quality is excellent and the quality of construction is very good as well – they are certainly robust. The set comes with a storage pouch which is handy for keeping them together in your gym bag. When running and training, the headphones are very comfortable and do not move at all. For me there are however two drawbacks. Firstly the headphones include an inline volume control. Although apparently useful for some, this feels bulky when running. Yes this can be clipped to clothes, but often comes unclipped and then bounces as you stride – I get around this by tucking it in the strap of my heartrate monitor. Secondly, if you sweat a lot (as I do) forget them. The tight seal between the buds and your ears is great for sound, but this soon stops any persperation escaping from the ear canal and the headphones quickly sound like you are listening to them underwater, before not being able to hear them at all without taking them out and giving them a shake. A problem never before encountered with a number of cheaper alternatives.

|so many design flaws,

I cannot understand why this product is rated so highly. Yes the sound quality is fantastic but after having it for many months i’ve come to hate it for the followng reasons:
1. headphones dont stay in the ear when you start getting sweaty
2. the cord is made from this insane rubber which takes forever to untangle
3. the belt clip is located at an awkard distance and the clip itself is easy to break or becomes too loose
4. the black rubber ear piece tends to come off when you are pulling them out of your pocket (again due to the fact they are made from this insane rubber)
