These headphone were given to me as a gift. I don't workout, but I do enjoy listening to my own music while doing almost anything else. They fit perfectly around my neck and are so lightweight I forget they're on all the time. I've even fallen asleep with them around my neck. As someone who has trouble keeping earbuds in my ears, I can say that these will NOT come out unless you take them out. The sound quality is okay, but for the price they are asking it could be better. I've tried all the EQ's and it's a little annoying it doesn't say what the EQ does. It does recognize L and R speakers so it does feel like surround sound and you can't hear anything else around you: truly noise canceling. It has lasted me an entire day and I like all the controls, I virtually don't have to touch my phone for anything. Call quality is better than talking directly through my phone.
