Advantages: When they are in , they stay in !

Disadvantages: Bit fiddly getting them in to start with.

I try and go to the gym every day and to make this more interesting I need music! I found that with most earphones that I had would fall out when I was running, which really does not help. I went on a mission to find some over the ear headphones that would stay in during my workout and I found these bad boys.
They are a little fiddlely to get into place but when they are in, they are pretty much in. The music sounds good, but maybe not as clear as it could be. Their design means that they are comfortable and you almost forget that you are wearing them. The lead is also longer than your average headphones and they have a clip, which is useful so the wire does not dangle in the way or get lost in your clothes.
Overall they are great exercise headphones and even for general on the bus wear.

Summary: Very comfortable, little pricey but ideal for the active listener.
