Sony Neck-Band Headphones July 20, 2008
Great sound, very durable & so far have never slipped off during a variety of workouts. Thumbs up!
Sony Mdr-As50G July 7, 2008
I have only had and used these a few times at this point (cycling and yard work), but they have performed well thus far. When cycling I only have the left earbud in place and it has a tendency to pull out of the ear slightly becuase the right one isn't in my other ear. When both are properly in place they function well and the sound quality is far above average with good bass response.
 Performs better than expected. July 5, 2008
I was extremely pleased with the way the earphones stayed comfortably in place when running or using the jump rope. The moment of shock came when I completed my run and realized that I did not stop once to make any adjustment. Can't say that they are the greatest sounding earphones, but for the money and the comfort, I have no right to complain. I won't hesitate to recommend these earphones to anyone with an active lifestyle.

I was looking for a 2nd pair of headphones (1st being Shure e420) for use at the gym. I have damaged my Shure's from sweat. After having them replaced, i set out to find something that can stand up to the 3-4X's a week work out. After researching all the available options, i selected these Sony behind the head headphones. They are comfortable around the head and don't move during use. The only reason I don't give these a 5 is the ear buds take some work to fit just right, but you can get there. I am a little spoiled from the Shure, so i have to adjust to a different fit. At the gym, I most often listen to books on my iPod. The sound quality is very good, when you get the proper fit. If you don't, there is a little sound leakage and you have to crank the volume up to full.
So far, I have to say I am very pleased with the Sony's. They did a great job on "wire management" and you can use the short cord for use with an armband or the longer cord if you need the extra length. I have not noticed any wear as of yet, but even when they do eventually break, it's $50 not $300 (Shure).
I would recommend these to anyone and will likely buy another pair when and if these eventually break.
Secure, Great for Active Users June 23, 2008
I have tried other behind the head headphones from Sony, but these are the best. The flexible design stays close to your head/neck, and does not get in the way when using a weight bench. Lying down, sitting up, running...I've never had to worry about them staying in place. Short cable is ideal for using an MP3 player on your upper arm. Sound quality is very good and the multiple sizes of earbuds are useful. Got them on sale for $35, so it's a shame to only see them selling near their $50 retail price now!!!
