Great for people who workout

The Bottom Line: Great headphones for people who don't like earbuds
I have been using a pair of Shure earbuds for a while, but even though the sound is great (once you get the earbud shells figured out) they kept falling out when I jogged on the treadmill/track. I did some research and decided that I wanted some sport headphones. These are great in that they fit in your ears but still allow outside sounds to come in. Some of the over-the-ear types isolate you so much that you can't hear if someone is telling you that the gym is on fire.
I think these headphones have very good sound quality and can some close to my Sony V600's but they can't carry the base because of the design. For listening to podcasts and casual workout music they are great.
The pods fit inside your ear canals but point forward. It is kind of hard to explain but basically take a set of earbuds and turn them so they face forward and then stick them in your ears; make a plastic arm to hold them in place and now you have these headphones. Sounds weird but they work. I like the sound and they stay in place.
The cord is this weird neon green but I am not trying to blend in to my wardrobe so I don't care.
Overall I am very happy with these headphones and I bought another pair for my wife.
