Does as advertised

I was looking for a second pair of headphones (the first was the Shure e420) for use in the gym. I damaged my Shure from sweat. After replacing them I decided to find something that could last 3-4 times a week. After researching all the available options, I settled on these Sony over-ear headphones. They sit comfortably on the head and do not move during use. The only reason I'm not giving them a 5 is that the headphones require some work to get a perfect fit, but you can make it work. I'm aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Waterproof to keep moisture out of the headphones
Cons
  • I'm pissed off

Great for running - stays in place with good sound

I bought these after the sweat I produced while running ruined the Apple headphones I was using with my music player. The earbuds stay in place very well even with prolonged use, they don't interfere with my movement or sun visor and the sound quality is good. I chose the right size earbuds. Luckily, the different sizes of ear tips that come with the headphones make finding the right fit easy. I also adjusted the placement of the cable on the back to be centered, meaning it works equally wellโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New sports cable solution
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Ideal for active people

These headphones are designed for people who exercise regularly. I've worn them walking, running, and running and they've never fallen out. They are wrapped around the neck and placed on the ears, and then you "plug" them into the headphones. The headphones come with 3 different soft silicone tips - S, M and XL. One of them "should" help the headphones fit your ears properly. They come with a standard 2ft solid cable that's the perfect length to attach to your MP3 player in your first aid kitโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cable adjuster allows the user to position the cable in the best position for sport or exercise
Cons
  • Durability

Good choice for sports headphones

I find the Sony MDR-AS50G to be excellent sports headphones. I go for a morning walk/jog and regular in-ear headphones are fine for walking, but they keep popping out of my ears when I run. I looked around, read reviews and settled on these Sony headphones. I'm glad I did. They sit very comfortably in my ear and don't move during the running portion of my workout. Unlike some other reviewers, I don't have a problem with pulling too hard, but I suspect it varies from user to user. I hardlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 9mm EX for a comfortable fit and deep bass
Cons
