Great Headphones!!

I use these headphones mainly at work and I sweat a lot and do a lot of hard labor. It's extremely durable and the water resistance is excellant.

Ok sound. Bought it for the ear loops to stay put. Which they do. But bass is lacking. Seem to slip out when sweaty and working out.

Biggest dislike would be the short cord. Comes with extension, but if doing exercise, can come apart.

Overall? Ok buy them on sale or try something else.

    Comments about Sony Active Style Headphones/Earbuds:

    I bought these to use on treadmill at home and while traveling on the go with my ipod. The features I like best are that there are different sizes of hangers and earbuds and that it comes with a case and 2 sizes of cords. There's no challenge of having a cord that's too long or having to jam standard earbuds into my ears to keep them in while walking and running on the treadmill. Haven't tried them outside yet, but will when weather gets nicer. Sound is good too, and also able to wear with my glasses.

      This is the second pair I've purchased (so I always have them with me at home or while traveling). They are the best headphones I've used. Great sound, no noise from the cable, and stays in the ear. Highly recommended.
