I was disappointed when I recieved this item, although the concept is great. First, one of the audio cables that was supposed to be hidden inside the headband part was sticking out right above the ear, and it was impossible to get it to slide completely back in. Perhaps a QA miss here.

However, the main problem with these headphones is that there are no adjustable features. There is no way to tighten the fit around your head or ears. As a result, it loosely hung around the back of my head, resting solely on my ears for stabilization. If there would be a way to control the headband length or the tightness around the ears, I would have kept this product. As it is, I am returning it for a refund. Probably bigger-headed people would not have as much of a problem (my head size is 7.5, which is large for a woman, but probably small for a man).

These are a great idea BUT they 1.feel loose and tend to fall down the back of your head (and i have a big head, which should help keep them snug!) and even off 2.very soon start to hurt the tops of my ears which is essentially the only spot where the headphones are held up 3.feel flimsy. The sound seems OK to me, so if they happen to fit you, fine.
Frankly I'm surprised there is not an integrated ipod-headphone yet, because the cord management is so annoying for a lot of ipod users especially as ipods keep getting smaller. I'm also surprised there's even no mp3player with a good cord management system integrated, like retractable or even little tabs like the Apple power bricks....But there is another product like this somewhere which seems to hug the head more (designed for snowboarders so presumable it won't fall off) which i'm going to try next.

I bought this product in early July and by late October, the plastic head band broke!!! Maybe if I'd been more careful (not stuff it in my purse). Point is, I was really happy with this product (took it everywhere) till a few days ago. As soon a received the headphones, I could see this future. But the design is just what i wanted. It was great for when i went hiking or just walking the street. It will be missed.

These headphones are wonderful. After trying several different types, these are my favorite for the Shuffle. The sound quality is great and they stay in place, even when running a 5K.

It's being about a month since I got the headphones and until now they still in one piece, but I don't think they will be for too long. Well they are made out of very cheap material and they feel like they are going to break every time you put them on. The sound is ok but you sill get a lot of static (not good enough for a $[...] headphones). The idea is awesome but they are also too bulky. One good thing about this item, they are super confortable.

Pros:

1.Comfortable
2.ok sound
3.no cords
4.easy to reach Ipod controls

Cons:

1.Not whorth $[...]
2.too bulky
3.cheap contruction
4.It can be a little big for some people(no adjustments)

Overall:

If the price goes down say to $[...] it will be totally awesome deal, and I can't say that I recommend this Item(if it was cheaper I'll think about it).
