Pretty good headphones
I purchased these to wear at work and listen to music. I have no complaints about the sound quality and I like the fact that they have inline volume controls.

My main complaint with these is that it is difficult to find a spot that they are comfortable to wear. if worn low down so that the bar is actually touching the ear it starts to feel like it is cutting into the ear. if I move it up a little bit it sits more comfortably but feels a little tight for my head (not painfully so) and at the same time it feels like it wants to slide off my head. They are still better then nothing and I will keep them until I find some better ones but then they will be the emergency pair.

good value
Works well for work, able to control volume easily when people come up to talk to me.
Good value foe listening to streaming music.

Comfortable, but the quality stinks
I've gone through two pairs of these headphones in about a year. The 2nd pair lasted only 2 months! I will not be buying a third pair. They are very comfortable, but after some use the sound starts cutting out in one channel or the other. You have to jiggle things around to fix it. I think the external volume knob is a mistake because it ends up being an additional moving part that is prone to problems. Eventually, the sound will fail completely, apparently from loose wiring. Buyer beware!

Great for the price
I have used several ear buds and head phones with my MP3 players and have found these to offer the best sound for the money. Additionally, they are comfortable and comform to your head very well. I use these a lot working out at the gym and they stay out of the way and in place better then most. I'm sure if you spend over $50 on a pair you may come up with something better. But it's MP3, compressed music and in itself does not warrent expensive head phones. Highly recommended.
This is my second pair. The first lasted two years but I recently pulled the wires out of the jack - my fault.

Cheap and not worth it
I bought these because they were cheap and that is what I got. The sound is not that great, but the worst part is the headphones DIGGING INTO THE SIDE OF MY HEAD. After an hour I have to remove them due to the pain when the headphones squeeze my head. Pay a little more and get something that is comfortable.
