Customer Reviews

Ideal for an active lifestyle
I bought these for use at the gym as I was tired of the in ear headphones falling out and also found them uncomfortable. These look really good, they are lightweight, very comfortable and stay in place even with very active workouts, and can also stand up to a good drenching in sweat! My only small criticism is that the headphones don't block out ambient sound very well so you have to play your music fairly loud. The headphones are very well made and output a pure sound that your ears will love. They come with a compact case and an extension lead.

Better than most
Having tried a few pairs of headphones for gym use (most recently, the Sennheiser PMX 70's which i gave up on as they were simply too uncomfortable, even after a few months of trying to wear them in), these have definately been the best so far.

They stay in place solidly enough, have decent sound quality (even when soaked in sweat - something that the PMX 70's seemed to struggle with, often producing an 'underwater' effect) and a shortened cord option to complement an the use of an ipod armband. They also come with a small case to protect the earpieces from damage when not in use.

On the minus side, the first few times of wearing them can be uncomfortable where the hardened rubber bits go in your ears, but persevere and soon enough these start to soften a bit and you get used to them.

Sony MDR-AS30G Headphones by 'Beckitts'
I have tried several types of earphones & headphones but most were uncomfortable or fell out due to my ear shape. These were bought to try, and are a revelation. They are comfortable and stay were they are put, but most importantly, they sound superb. I am revisiting some of my discs and hearing things I have not heard before.
