Great for Running The MP3 player fits perfectly fine. I have run under the rain with no problem and even the sound of it is better than the sound of my iphone. Also, the battery life is outstanding and once I wear it I do not feel it until I finish running. Just great! October 12, 2012
not for women My husband bought this for me, as my $13 Omnitech headphone/MP3, which I LOVED was almost dead. The Sony buds will not go in my ears, the curled wire pops them out and they fall off my head constantly. (My husband and son fit them perfectly) Also, my Omnitech charge lasted about 10 hours, and the Sony dies at 5 exactly. $13 vs $70 does not make me happy, either. August 1, 2012
The best!!!!! I have a lot of ipods, all kinds! I still love my iPods but for exercise and practicity this one is the best! My sister is an athlete so has been a few years she has used this and always told me how she enjoys it. I never really care until this 4 July I got the special price by email and decided to give a try and I'm very glad I did. Unfortunately I didn't listen to my sister years ago. Now she is even ready to upgrade hers for this new one a little bit smaller. BUY IT, YOU WILL LOVE IT! July 8, 2012
Great product This is a great product. Perfect for jogging. Stays in my ears and very comfy. Comes with a year warranty too. My hubby takes it to work and my brother always borrowes it. Very easy to put music on it. Takes a couple of hours to charge but so what! March 12, 2012
