Advantages: Comfortable, Stay firmly in the ear, Fantastic sound, Can hardly feel that you wearing them Disadvantages: Take a while to get used to putting them on and not being able to feel them much

I exersize a lot an whilst running, my IPod earphones always used to fall out and then i could never get them back in. The over ear design of the OMX Sport headphones, makes it virtually impossible for the headphones to fall off whilst doing exersize. The bad point that i did find was that they were quite difficult to primarily put on and the ear piece wouldnt really fit in, but they soon moulded and suited to my ears. The headphones have a highering an lowering design on the ear part, which means they can suit a range and variety of ears. The headphones also came with different ear grips, which was also very handy as some grip better than others, and the carrying case also firs the headphones ...
