"Good for the right situations"

I'll be among those who agree that these don't offer the best sound quality. However, I use them for working out and don't want to block out all outside noises (other people, traffic). The can be easily removed and hung around the neck and replaced just the same. I hate messing with other types where you have to twist something and then stick it on your ears everytime you want to put them on or back on. The folding feature is nice and I use it all the time.

I am currently on my second pair of these Headphones and I just ordered two new pairs because mine are finally starting to fall apart after almost two years. While I do agree that these aren't fancy they are awesome for working out and running. I tried many different pairs of in-ear buds and over the ear headphones and most of them led to complete misery when I was running. I spent most of my run dealing with one side or the other popping out of my ears. Maybe I am just anatomically deformed but I have never had a problem with these.
My only issue with these headphones are that you do have to be very careful if you choose to fold them up. I haven't broken as many pairs as some but it did happen with the first pair I purchased. At the end of the day though these things are so cheaply priced I would rather buy an extra pair. If you run frequently these can't be beat!
"Great Light weight headset"

I was a little reluctant to buy this updated foldable headset after seeing the reviews about how easily they break but I really needed some for working out. I hate ear buds - they fall out and it is hard to get good sound if they aren't in just right. These stay on my head very well throughout my work out including jogging and weight lifting. The sound is surprisingly good for such a light weight headset. I have had these for over 6 months of daily use now and they have held up just fine. Actually my old pairs of folding headsets were frustrating because the sliding metal they used in the folding mechanism would always come out and was hard to replace. I'm going to get aqnother pair for a backup but I've aleady gotten my money's worht out of the ones I have.
"Great while it lasted, then left side went out."

These headphones lasted about a year with no problems. The sound was great - much better than any earbud type headphones I've had. About a week ago the left side went out, however. I'm on the hunt for a new pair now, but I don't think I'll purchase these again.
"Love these headsets!"

These headsets are great. The ear buds don't stay in my ears at all, so I love these. After 1+ year they do stop working due to sweat in the ear piece - I run 5 times a week with them. Love that they fold up.
"Great in theory, horrible in reality"

Okay, I had a similar style of these before when I would go running in L.A. and they lasted me for about a year, which is not great, but passable, I think.
So I needed to replace the previous pair, and I bought these, because I liked the way they folded up, and I liked how they stayed in my ears and on my head during running.
Well! What a sad fate these headphones suffered--the left side went out! Apparently this has happened to a lot of people and I think Sony should reimburse us! Of course, they won't. And it's not serious enough for a lawsuit. But these headphones really are inordinately expensive for the level of quality they offer.
If they ever fix this problem with the sound going out on one side, these would get a 4 or 5 star review. But if after two months, the sound goes out, that's just lame man. I thought my sweat had something to do with it. I think it's just poor engineering now. Avoid! *until Sony recognizes the problem and comments on it publicly. yeah right!
