These earbuds are amazing and have lasted me years of long flights, being sat on, stepped on, dropped in snow, dropped in pools, being hit with soccer balls, being left in the sand, and even being abandoned at Starbucks in a foreign country but I went back for my babies!! U got them for Christmas when I was 15 (3+ years ago) and I thought that they were ugly. I was so wrong and young and stupid because about a month after that another pair of scull candy earbuds that I got for Christmas stopped working so I started using these.

As a distance runner & triathlete who uses music when I am training and works out hard which means a lot of sweat. In 2000 after becoming frustrated/distracted by ear buds constantly falling out due to sweat and motion, I discovered these Sony active style headphones. In over 10 years of use I've NEVER had them fall off and only rarely have to blow on the speaker area if they are clogged with sweat (very infrequent occurrence). I'm always looking for new things and have tried many other brands, styles and technology; whether I spent over $100 on a pair or $5 on a pair, none of them have come close to providing the comfort, sound quality and durability of these Sony headphones. I log a lot of miles wearing these headphones and constantly use them; because of this I usually buy 1 or 2 pairs of these headphones a year. I can assure you that the reason for the 6-12 month lifespan has nothing to do with quality of product but everything to do with the way that I use them. In 10+ years of endurance sports I haven't found headphones that can compete with these amazing headphones by Sony.

Loved these and just bought my 3rd pair, but they have changed the product, im sure my ears didnt shrink, but they now flop around and the sound quality is very poor. Very disappointed!

I'm not joking, I've bought 5 pairs in two years because they're inexpensive, but the jack always breaks. Guaranteed. Here's a message to Sony. Spend the extra 1 cent and put a more stable rubber support on the jack so the wires don't break. C'mon! It's 1 penny (probably less) to just reinforce that jack. Then raise the price to $10.99, I promise you, you'll sell more! I'm done buying these, no matter how inexpensive they are, they break too often. I'm done with Sony.

These are great earphones made for people that are active in sports and active people. They won't fall out in a sport, but they just don't last long. Sony truly should address this problem, and if they do, they will have the best earphones on the market.
