Red Sound-Squared "SPORT" Headphone Earbuds Earphones w/ 2 Earhook Sizes and Earphone Case - Great Value!

I have been using the Sound-Squared Sport model earbuds for a couple of weeks with my Sansa E280 with Rockbox firmware. This is the best set of earbud-type headphones I've used for the price. There are others as good, but not at this price point.

Let me start with comfort. I have had numerous pairs of earbuds from Phillips, Sony, JVC, etc. I specifically chose the sport model from Sound Squared because reviews on other sites said they don't fall out.

It's positively intimidating. (My imperturbable work-out on the elliptical is regally placid by comparison; I barely break a...Read more

This is the first review I've ever written. I felt compelled to tell others what I think about these earbuds.
