These headphones are designed to be sweat-resistant and are even made with antimicrobial materials that will help prevent any funky smells or germs from taking hold of your headphones. They are even washable, which makes them perfect for working out. As far as sound quality, the bass response from these headphones is very good and over-emphasized a bit to really let you feel the beat of your favorite tunes. Although you won’t mistake these for high-end, “audiophile” headphones, the m
Great features, so far so good,
I am forever in search of the perfect running headphones. I run 3-4 times/week in all sorts of weather, so my headphones take a beating. I’ve only had these a few weeks, so the jury is still out, but I think I’m going to like them.
Pros:
-The anchor point of the cord to the neckband is behind the left ear. This keeps the cord out of the way, especially if you run the cord down your back, but also holds true if you connect to your iPod on your arm or have the cord run across your chest.
-The earbuds are the round, soft rubber type, as opposed to the more common circular, hard type (like standard iPod earbuds). This is far superior for staying in your ear and for hearing the music.
-The neckband is sturdy and shaped well.
-Having a clip is great. Some people don’t use them, but I think it’s essential for running.
-The price is right. There are more expensive headphones out there, but I’ve found that running headphones WILL develop issues after prolonged use, so it’s nice if they’re relatively inexepensive to replace. If these last a year they will have met my expectations and I will have gotten my money’s worth.
Cons:
-The only downside is that the connection point to the iPod is straight, as opposed to angled 90 degrees. This makes for a less compact connection, and I’m afraid jeopardizes the longevity of the wires.
The sound is fine. I’m not a huge audiophile to begin with, and I’m not looking for perfect sound when I’m running.
I’ll update this review after a few months, but it looks like these might be a winner, especially for the price.

|great for running,
The “Philips SHQ4000/28 Neckband Headphones Tuned for Sports” are the best i’ve found for running.
PROS:
- they stay well inside your ear
- the sound quality is good. i haven’t seen a big diff between these phillips and a pair of Monster Turbine High-Performance In-Ear Speakers i’ve purchased recently. i got the monsters for 60 in gold box, originally priced at 120-130.
- they come with a little clip that can help you get the cable to stay where you want it to stay. pretty handy
- the neckband makes it easy to pull them out of your ear without them hanging around (as happens with normal in ear headphones). if somebody comes to speak to you you can just pull them off ,let them rest on your neck, and not worry abour them wobbling around.
CONS:
- if you want to wear them on a plane, or while sitting where you may want to rest your head against something (a bed, a good chair, etc) the neckband will touch the seat before your head, and pop the headphones out of your ear. they’re made for sports, not for lying around
- for a bike they aren’t the best, if your riding really bent forward the neckband may touch your back and shift the headphones around.
FINAL:
the neckband phillips are the best i’ve tried when it comes to running. i have no regrets.
hope this helps!

|None compare in quality and comfort like these. Excellent!,
I’ve had several brands of in-ear headphones — from the $25 level to the $100 plus. None compare to the combination of sound quality + comfort + plus ability to stay in place + no itching… these are GREAT. I even use them under my helmet when riding my motorcycle and they are GREAT for this too. I’m impressed!
