excellent

These are the absolute best wired headphones, in my opinion. I needed them for wearing on the treadmill and I tried many different kinds until finding these. The sound quality is very good, they are comfortable and remain in place. The design of these headphones is so much better than the ones with spongy ends, thank you so much for these headphones.

They're lightweight and don't cover the ears (good) but push into the ear canal rather hard (bad). Maybe they can be loosened by softening the plastic at the top with heat. The sound quality is fine—just remember that there's a big difference between forward and backward.

Wireless 'buds' never stay in my ears. This type of headphone is good for casual listening / walking / exercise, and the sound quality is good.

They are exactly what I was looking for, to replace similar Sony headphones. The only negative is that they are tight and the plastic earpieces are a hard plastic, so they hurt my ears when they are in too long.
