 Great Replacement for IPod Shuffle Aug 16, 2010
By Alan
"Alan"
After 80 miles of sweaty Florida running and at least two monsoon style thunderstorms I am happy to say they are working great. No issues, easy to load using Windows Media Player, light, comfortable, charge quickly and overall a great purchase. The controls are slightly more tactile than the iPod shuffle but easy to use and very intuitive. And best of all you can get them at Wal Mart for $49.99. Just make sure the package says waterproof, some places might have the old model still on sale.
UPDATE: 6 months and still going strong. I would have been on my third iPod Shuffle by now. I've read a few of the reviews and can see how some people might have issues with the earbuds staying put. In my case it hasn't been a problem and my ears are almost as big as the presidents. I've had them on runs as long as 53 miles without a problem. Do make sure you buy the current sweatproof/waterproof version. The previous model was not waterproof and from the reviews I read they died as quickly as an iPod.

 so far so good Jul 13, 2010
By casey chesnut
i had the previous version too (w202) which died after 3 months. sony ended up refunding me. while waiting for these, i tried a knock-off version from ebay, but those never stayed on my head. even though the old version died, i loved them, and was holding my breath for these.
first, the audio quality seems better (the old pair had no bass). i dont have the old pair to compare with, but they seem just the slightest bit bigger (not complaining). i'm assuming thats for different audio components and more water resistance. the jog dial for choosing tracks is now just a lever, so its easier to use. the volume up button is now a bit longer, so you can tell which button is which. and the shuffle switch is now a button. it looks like this button will let you choose a playlist. i haven't tried that feature yet, but my guess is it would let me have a music track playlist while working out, and then an audio book playlist for cardio.
anyway, these are great for working out. they stay on my head while lifting, cardio, abs, etc. i charge them in my car while driving to/from the gym, and i've never had the battery die before a workout was over. not having to deal with wires is great, and its easier just having one device instead of 2 devices synced with bluetooth.
the only reason i didnt give them 5 stars is because longevity is still in question. also surprised they didnt bump the memory up from 2 gig to 4 gig.

 Not for me Mar 17, 2011
By PR4LFE
I had such high hopes for these headphones as I was wanting a pair that would double as an mp3 player that I could use while running. The bottom line here for me was that while running the headphones have to much bounce and movement to stay put. Keep in mind that somebody else might have a different experience but for me it did not take long after running to be annoyed by there constant movement. Its almost as if you would need a sweat band or something to hold them in place. They sound great and the ease of use for transferring music and playing is also great. They are light and charge super fast. In the end however while running they just have entirely too much movement for me. I might be going back to the Motorola headphones that I once had.

Best MP3 play for hard-core Runners Oct 04, 2010
By RunningMom
I just purchased these at the San Jose Rock N' Roll 1/2 Marathon Expo. They seemed interesting and the offer was one I couldn't refuse--for a mere $60 and 100 FREE Song downloads, I was able to take these puppies home.
My first 'dry run' was the 1/2 Marathon the following Sunday morning. They did not disappoint! I only fiddled with them once, during my entire 13.1 mile run. They sat in my ear perfectly, the sound quality was amazing, and I downloaded songs to them easily the night before my race event.
I'm so happy with this pair of 'exercise-friendly' headphones that I can't wait for my next workout.
My only issue now is that I don't know what I'll do with the Sennheiser PMX80 Sport Series II Behind the Head Ear Phones For Sports for which I paid $38.99 that will never get used :(

Excellent concept. Jul 27, 2010
By G. Vasquez
Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase of this product. I did not expect it to be perfect, yet it has proven to perform very effectively. I really hope Sony never drops this concept and instead keeps on adding improvements in its next generations. I would definitely recommend this product and would buy one with higher capacity if they ever offer it.
****Update- 12-30-2010****
I'll make this update plain and simple; If you appreciate tactical, to- the-point and reliable technology..."This is BY FAR the best there is"...I have put this MP3 through the grinder in my workouts and I'm still impressed.
