Sony Mdr-As20J Active Style Headphones with Soft Loop Hangers (Black)

Comment: I was looking for headphones to wear while running that wouldn't fall out. These headphones are absolutely secure. But I find for exteneded wearing the size of the inner speaker that fits into my ear canal is slightly too large and becomes quite painful.

Comment: Bought them for my husband who complains that no earphones will stay on him when he's running. He loves them! Stay on and sound great!

Comment: I've had these headphones two days. Yesterday I would have given them 5 stars. They are very comfortable and stay on my ears when I'm active. Today as I was sitting at my desk I began to hear static which gets wose when the connection to the plug is moved (nothing to do with shorting out due to sweat). Very comfortable, stays in place, but poor construction.

Comment: I have been looking for a pair of headphones that will stay on my ears without complication, without sacrificing too much in terms of sound quality, and these have proven to be just what I needed. They provide some noise cancellation, but not so much that they can't be used in outdoor settings (like for running, etc.) - it is a nice balance. The sound quality is consistent throughout different volume levels, consistently good, that is - it isn't super special, but it is definitely a few steps up from other set-ups I have tried. I also like the lightness of the headphones, both in the wiring and in the actual earpieces. These are a great buy if one is looking for headphones that will stay secure, that can be worn for long periods of time without discomfort, and that provide decent sound.

Comment: After only a week of enjoyable listening while jogging, I accidentally left it in my running shorts and it went through the wash. I had to dismantle the washer's center agitator in order to detangle the cord and rescue the earphones. The next time I ran, I used it... and to my amazement, it still works! I was reminded of the old Timex watch commercials after they subjected a watch to an awful punishment (like being run over by a truck)...and when they picked it up they exclaimed "and it is still ticking!".....that's how I feel about this product. Besides that, I am very pleased at how securely it remains in my ears while running....and sounds great, too.
