Product DescriptionThe vertical, in-the-ear active style MDR-AS20J headphones makes it easy to add a heart-pumping soundtrack to whatever you may be doing. The soft loop hangers fit comfortably over your ear and allow you to play hard without fear of unexpected earbud drop-out. There's also a handy cord clip for unfettered activity.
Too Large for my ears (Rating: 1 out of 5) I was so optimistic about these headphones, even though I read a few other reviews that said they don't fit small ears. I didn't think I had small ears, but I guess I do, because they don't stay on at all. I will have to give them to one of my jug handle eared brothers.
Nice for runners (Rating: 5 out of 5) Like many of the others, I am a big fan of these for running. They stay on well whether running, hitting the gym or raking the leaves. Really nice affordable option.
Doesn't anyone else sweat when they workout? (Rating: 1 out of 5) Okay, I read everyone's reviews looking for a good pair of headphones to workout with. I go to the gym five times a week and I sweat. I was really excited to try these. After all of the reviews, these headphones seemed like they walked on water.
Wow. Disappointing.
First of all, they don't fit that well. I continually had to push them in. Secondly, the sound quality is rough.
The most ridiculous aspect of these is that they stop working when you sweat. My second time wearing them, the right ear ceased to function. After taking it out and blowing on it, it began to work again but I had to keep taking them out to dry them off.
Sheesh.
What a waste of money.
Back to the drawing board...
Great set, doesn't move or fall out (Rating: 5 out of 5) I'm not a audiophile, I don't have an extensive collection of headsets, and I refuse to indulge my champagne taste with $50 headsets that I may leave in an airplane.
That all said, I like these a LOT. They give the advantages of the earbud-style headset without it constantly falling out. I find them quite comfortable, though I can see how unusually small or larger ears may be discomfited by their "around the ear" style.
This is a big deal to me, as I have never had a earbud set that didn't fall out of just my right ear. I've tried everything, but once its on, it remains comfortably in place. Fantastic!
Downside to these (if you call it that) is there isn't really an easy way to keep it stored. However, since that's usually the case with all earbuds, I'm OK!
I was happy to find the headphone cheaper here than the retail stores nearby. The headphones worked as promised! Delivered fast! (Rating: 5 out of 5) Finding this product in a magazine and finding it online cheaper was a bonus. After receiving the headphones in a few days I was able to use them and loved how the companies promise to stay in place actually worked! I was very pleased with them and use them in my everyday workouts.
