Comments about Monster� iSport� In-Ear Speakers with ControlTalk�, Blue:

These headphones set out to accomplish quite a bit and for the most part they succeed. They are intended to be a high quality, noise isolating headphone/microphone providing good sound that can get wet (i.e. waterPROOF not Resistant). In fact their care instructions tell you to throw them in the washing machine if they get dirty (although I still haven't brought myself to do that just yet).

To achieve this Monster uses a set of various sized ear loops and ear plugs to get the fit tight enough that it will fit snugly during your workout but even more importantly deliver good sound. As with any noise isolating headphone it is essential that you spend the time and effort to try the different sizes and get this right. Too big and they can be uncomfortable and too small they will fall out and sound awful. Once you get the fit right though they work like a charm.

One of their biggest pros (the noise isolation) can also be a con though. To get the best sound they need to fit snugly but that also blocks out a large portion of the ambient noise. Great for the sound quality and blocking out airplane noise when traveling. Not so great when you are riding your bike, skiing or running and hearing ambient noise might be a good thing. I've found that if I keep the volume low enough I can still hear the music clearly and what's going on around me but if I let it get too high then I miss out.

After using these extensively for the past couple of weeks I am impressed with them and assuming the long term durability holds up I think they're a good buy. Because of the noise isolation though I wouldn't recommend them for jogging or riding your bike unless you use them at a pretty low volume. It's just too dangerous out there without being able to hear what's going on around you.

Note that I received the iSport headphones at no cost in return for giving a fair, honest and unbiased review of the headphones, with no expectation of a favorable review. . . so be sure to factor that in to your decision too. :)
