These do stay in place fine, and sound good.Construction is solid, and they look good. I'd recommend buying them and giving them a whirl, you can always return them if they don't work for you. I play basketball and work out/elliptical at the gym and needed some phones that stay in place. But I'm super picky and these are great.
However, my range of motion at work cause my shoulders and neck to press against the neckband which dislodges the seal of the earbuds which of course affects the bass and overall sound. The sound was very good for the price and they were comfortable. I have to remain completely still to enjoy a good listening experience. I do move a lot at work but I'm not running or anything like that.
At $49.95 these sound pretty good. The Aiwa's were $25 and were just a plastic ear "bud" that went in the ear and the neckband was rigid. As they are now, they are not acceptable. These have rubber ear buds that are very comfortable and the over the ear and around the neck band is also comfortable. Even just typing while wearing these is causing the seal to repeatedly be broken.
The neck band is flexible which allows them to collapse into a small easily portable package. I don't have too much experience with headphones at this price range, but I do have a pair of $100 over the ear Sony headphones and a $300 pair of over the ear Grado's so I know what good headphones sould like.
Very annoying. I read several other reviews of these by people who excercise with them and they said they stay in place, so maybe I got a lemon.
I have tried all 3 sizes of the included buds. I was thrilled when I saw this design as I had a similar set from Aiwa (that I also bought from Amazon) that I really liked until they were stolen.
The sound is very good for this price range including tight bass response. However, since they were stolen and now discontinued, it doesn't matter.
I saw these Sony's and decided to give them a try even thought they were double the price of the Aiwa's. They are going back.
The headphones would not stay in place on me. I was not overly worried about sound quality, but I did want them to sound pretty good. So if you have an above average head size do not get these. I would say my head size is a little above average.
I gave these to a friend (smaller head) and he loves them). I just want the things to stay on my head when I work out.I am 6'1", 235 lbs.
Sound quality being one issue I was looking for a balance of sound and ear phone stability. They kept popping out or sliding up the outer edge of my ear, not both ears, only one ear.
The firm cable control is not adjustable which is what makes these stay in place. I bought these because I needed head phones for the gym.
Is that the correct term. Let's say I was looking for a minimum 6 out of 10 for sound quality.
These sound ok I would give them a 5. I hope this helps you.
these headphones don't actually stay in your ear very well, especially when running. maybe my ears are shaped different, don't know.
The extension cable is almost always necessary unless you have an mp3 player such as an ipod shuffle that you can clip onto your arm. The SONY MDR-AS50 provides good sound with morderate bass and is good for use while working out. Wearing this neck-band will require some skills for the first few attempts and eventually it becomes easy.
