JVC HAFX55ZP High-Quality Inner Ear Headphones (Red)

I purchased these for use with my iPod Video at the gym. I am not super picky when it comes to sound quality, so I cannot comment much there. If you are an average user, one who isn't bothered by sound quality of $20 headphones, these will sound ok to you.

The cord on these is longer than most headphones I have used. It is almost too long for running. I find wrapping it around my iPod on my arm solves that problem. The length does come in handy when on the elliptical trainer. I like to set my iPod on the little shelf of the elliptical and watch TV shows while working out.

I have owned several sets of these, because the frequency response is 5-24,000HZ. It's almost impossible to find a frequency response below 16,000HZ.

2 seperate items sent to me, both with the same problem. Niether were wired like the picture. Both sets had the same manufacturing fault; a 2 inch wire on one side and a 16 inch wire on the other.
