People who are less rough with their cheap headphones may get more mileage from them.
I used to buy a new pair of these every other year or so. I haven't bought a new pair for over 3 years now because the price has been ridiculously high! Back when I first started buying these, they were around $15, which was AWESOME. After a few years they went up to $30 which was still worth it! But now they're over $90 !??!! I cannot believe the price has soared this high, it's terrible! These headphones are great, but not THAT great! I still own two pair that work well, and when they die, I won't replace them with the same make/model unless the price drops again. This is unbelievable!
But compared to other $20-ish sport headphones that are comfortable and won't fall out? You probably won't find a better pair. They do sound good, and they are comfortable enough that I sometimes forget that I am wearing them.
Also the loop makes it easy to wrap around the back of your neck if you need to take them off for a moment or carry them. (unlike those infernal clip-ons)
I will say there are a few minor problems.
(1): removable ear pads can fall off and get lost. There's no reason for removable pads because the wire will wear out before the pads do, so you will probably never need to replace them. In which case, why make them removable at-all? Silly design choice.
(2): The aforementioned wire. This is a problem with all wired sport headphones. You're using them while exercising, so you're moving around, which bends the wire. Perhaps just a little, but you're doing it over and over again, and the wire fatigues over time, until the wire eventually breaks. If you exercise 4+ times a week like I do, you will need to replace your headphones about every year.
Now, when flying, I default to an in the ear set of headphones, earphones as it were, because those block out the airplane noises.
But for everyday use around the house, if I am not using my audiophile set, these are my go-to headphones.
Highly recommended for quality and sound.
I recently bought a new pair as the foam on my old ones had seen better days and I didn't feel like doing DIY foam earpieces from scratch. For $20, I was quite content to just buy a new pair.
