Worth. Every. Penny. They're comfortable! They sound good! They fold up! They accomodate the Shufflesome skin I've got on my iPod!! I had no problem relearning the button configuration (The iPod's upside down like when it's in its docking port)...and everyone I've shown them to thinks they're ultracool!

I like this product a lot! The only thing that I don't like is, that it can't be adjusted up or down so that it fits better. Besides that I think that headphones are great!

I received these headphones as a birthday gift. I am a dedicated (but slow) runner, who likes to listen to podcasts or music while I run. I am on my second shuffle, but I've gone through a couple dozen pair of headphones. I normally buy cheap headphones, and the wire wears out after 20-40 times running with them. So far, I've run ten times with these cordless headphones.

The volume control is a bit cumbersome with the way the shuffle is situated in the headphones, and I usually wear a headband to keep the headphones from jostling or slipping while I run. Other than those two minor complaints, I am competely satisfied with the product. I'm hopeful that since the shuffle plugs directly into the headphones, I won't be constantly replacing headphones because of wear with the wiring. I really like them, I think they are a fantastic idea. I'm hopeful they will last for at least a year or two. I think that $50.00 may be a little steep for what the product is, but I believe the price will gradually slide as other manufacturers make a similar product.

One other downside... I feel like Lobot, Lando Calrissian's sidekick from The Empire Strikes Back when I wear these headphones. :-)

I used to get very irritated with the cords on my other headphones. They were constantly getting the way when I was trying to work out. Not anymore! These cordless headphones are teriffic! The controls are very easy to work, they fold up to fit in your pocket, they don't hurt my ears like the earbuds did, and best of all, there are no wires! The only downside (if you could call it that) is that they seem to be fragile; however, with care, I think they'll last for years.
If you are tired of cords getting in the way.........buy these!

My problem was when I was out doing yard work or running about the cable from my earphones always got caught or snagged on something. This was exactly what I wanted. After a few months of use I still rate this product very highly.

Some reviews complain about the speakers...what do you expect? I'm usually outside doing something anyway so I wouldn't be able to notice high quality sound. The speakers are just fine for what it was designed for. I wouldn't let that sway your decision.
