Small electric shocks keep you hopping!
These are nice headphones, but to call them "Sports" is surely a misnomer. Plugged into a treadmill's TV system at the gym, I couldn't bear the small electric shocks I received repeatedly once I started sweating. Ultimately, I turned up the volume and put the headphone speakers in front of my ears, but could hardly hear... So, only use these in dry conditions and if you're not sweaty. Perhaps an iPod produces less current than an exercise machine, though; I don't exercise with an iPod...

Gym Workouts - perfect
I love these these headphones, they don't hurt my ears, (other headphone ear buds are too large). These headphones keep sweat from creeping into your ears during a tough workout. I am buying two more pairs.

Convenient but Breakable
The folding feature of these headphones makes them extremely convenient. However, one wrong move and the plastic snaps in two. They must be handled carefully to last.

Awesome earphones, just have duck tape for care
All earphones either slip out of my ears when I run, or the plastic earbuds are too big and actually hurt while in! These stay on and fit well. The sound quality is also really good.
One of their attributes - folding up - is also a pitfall, they simply break on the folding spot. Comically, like the person from the other review, I've also had a few pairs of these now, because they've been good while they last, and they're fairly cheap. HOWEVER, I have learned a key trick with this last pair: Simply duck tape them around where they snapped... and they're good as new again, seriously! Once taped, maybe they won't fold up small anymore, but they still work perfectly, stay in my ears comfortably, give great sound, and are probably more sturdy now with the duck tape. cheers
