Advantages: Light, comfortable fit Disadvantages: Fiddly to fit initially
I wanted to be able to listen to music on my new I-Pod whilst running. I have never been able to use the 'ear-bud' type of headphones and was getting fed up looking on site after site for a good sports pair at a reasonable price. On holiday we were at the airport so with time to spare I had a look at one of the shops, saw these and liked the look of them.

I like the fact that I can still hear traffic and the odd comment from my running partner. I do have the volume turned up max and it is loud without being too much. If anybody likes to have it REALLY loud then not sure how good these would be.
They are a decent starter sports headphone for a reasonable price. I'm not sure how long the 'flexible earhook' will continue to function as I've only been using them for a few weeks but as of yet there are no cracks or splits.
