Best available
The now unavailable Sony headphones are the gold standard for the behind the neck style. These are a close second. As mentioned by others, the sound quality could be improved but in every other respect, they’re top notch. The cord is on the long side but I’d rather that than it being too short. I’ll probably order a couple of extras in case they suddenly become unavailable like the Sonys did.

The best workout headphones I can find
These fit all of my criteria for workout headphones.They’re corded. The weight of the cord keeps them in place on my ear and don’t bounce around like wireless over the ear headphones, nor do they fall out like the earplug type headphones. One caveat to this is that the cord is far too long (I would like to point out, not heavy on the ears, just long). I am a 6’1′ fat guy and I could wear my music device on my ankles and still use these headphones. When on a treadmill I run with the cord through my shirt, and my phone on the console with cord left. A couple of other gripes due to length, you have to watch when you go to the bathroom because the cord will sway out and touch everything (not inside, but the bowl/urinal itself for men and women I would think) and around equipment it tends to generally get in the way as any long cord would. But I would rather have this problem than being wireless. Or I could just come up with a solution and be done with it. Update: I just wrap the cord around my phone a couple of times and shove it in my pocket. .They are over-the-ear and behind the neck. As explained, I hate earplug headphones because they fall out with sweat (for me anyway). They are also rigid because they are connected in the back by a solid piece of plastic holding them in place. I also fear that over-the-head headphones will eventually rotate to the front or to the back requiring adjustment every so often. I never have to adjust these. Just put them on and go.Comfortability is good, not exceptional. I had some discontinued Sony headphones that I think this company mimicked, but this plastic seems more stiff/thicker or less pliable. It’s usually just when I go to put them on, it may feel slight discomfort while adjusting, but then I don’t notice it after that. Also, it seems like the padding could be just slightly thicker. They are good for now, but I think they will wear out quickly with extended usage. These are not deal breakers for the price, but something that just catches my attention once in a great while.Sound quality is good enough. These are cheap headphones, I am not expecting to rock the house with base from these. But if you want some tunes and/or a podcast while you work out, these fit the bill.I almost forgot to mention the “tangle free” cord. It’s long, but I am pleasantly impressed with the tangle free-ness of the cord. I don’t know how standard it is these days, but it’s nice and I want to point it out for such cheap headphones.Overall, these are my headphones of choice for workouts (good enough), and I will be buying these until something better comes along or they stop making them. My main concern is that they stay in place. I don’t want to have to adjust my headphones on a run and these don’t move. And they are cheap. I can replace these every few months and not worry too much about it because I can’t find “good” quality headphones even at a more expensive price point with the features listed above.For the company, if you read this, make the cord shorter (maybe by a little over a foot), see if you can make the plastic around the ears a little more pliable, maybe slightly thicker padding for the ears, and adding more bass would be a bonus, if it didn’t cost too much extra. Otherwise, I don’t really care about the bass.UPDATE: After ordering these a couple of times to replace broken ones, they just don’t last very long. A couple of months each, maybe. Everything in my review is still true (with the exception of always buying them), and I know they are cheap, but I was just replacing them a little too often. This expedited my search for a new headset, of which, I have found. And believe it or not, my new headset is wireless (lol) which I have also reviewed.

Garbage
Maybe they are useful for an audio book, but forget about music. I bought these becasue I still like corded headphones (do not like bluetooth) and I use these for running (around the ear vs in the ear). The cord is a mile long and there is NO volume. They are so low volume you cant hear the music at all if you’re outside. They also came in a ziploc bag with no labels or anything. feel like these were made in someone’s garage. right in the trash.

The head phones work great. I can wear easily with my Bicycle helmet.

Good sound, shoddy build
The TRS jack doesn’t fit tightly compared to other headphones, causing the right side to be quieter. Three stars because it’s inexpensive.

The only headphones my son will use.
My son loves this style of headphones. This style is difficult to find in a brick and mortar store. Amazon is one of the last places to find them.My only complaint is, I was limited to two when I wished to purchase more.

Shallow sound, poor fit, wire loose on first use
I prefer bluetooth, but purchase these to fit my old iPod, which I still love using because I can control music by feel without having to look at the screen. I had Sony version (for lower price!) of these for years. It sounded great and lasted forever. This one doesn’t sound good, feel as good, and the wire connecting to headphone was loose on first use.

I use these headphones at night to watch TV. They are great light weight, comfy. I can’t wear the big headphones ,they are always falling off and hurt my ears. These neckband head phones are ideal. Hard to find and when I went to order a second set it was hard to find them again and double in price.

I knew this type of headphones is rare (probably they aren’t even manufactured) and checked them as soon as they arrived. Of course – the product was defective! I suspect the company just sends out its defective products in a hope that nobody will notice. Stay alert with this seller!Returning tomorrow.
