PHILIPSSHS3200BK/37 Flexible Earhook Headphones, Black

Update 2/8/16: I've now been using my "earhooks" for almost two months. I still like them a whole lot; however, there are a couple things I noticed and wanted to add to my review.Firstly, I have periodically experienced a static zap in my ears when unplugging from my devices (iPad Air2, iPhone 6s, Macbook Pro) while keeping the earhooks on. The hooks are not easy to get on and off. Thus, if I need to disconnect from my device for a moment, I sometimes leave earpieces on my head and unplug at the device, tucking the cord end in my pocket. The zapping seems to happen when the atmosphere is staticky and the bare metal jack touches something with a charge (like my sweater or my husband). Kerpowie! I'm more careful now about how I disconnect the jack and making sure the jack is tucked away safely while I'm walking around.Secondly, the sound from the earpieces is readily perceived by others at moderate volumes. This is because the earpieces don't actually go *in* the ear canal, but rest just outside, which allows some sound to escape. This is not a deal-breaker for me, but was a bit of a surprise when I thought I was being all sneaky but my husband could hear everything I was listening to. ;)Even with these caveats, I still think that at under 10 samoleans these little guys are a good value. I really like the sound, they're very comfortable, and they are the only inexpensive headphones I have that don't fall out.Original Review:Holy moly, I have finally found it: cheap headphones that sound decent and—most importantly to me—don't fall outta my ears! Wow. I have them on right now. And I totally love them.My ears are... I don't know. Alien ears. Toddler ears. Not normal adult human ears, apparently. Because I have never ever EVER found a set of earbuds/headphones that didn't simply drop out of my ears—or hurt. In-ear buds hurt me. Even the smallest size inserts are painful. I've also tried the over-ear form factor a few times without success. The speaker was always aimed in a way that I could not hear the sound easily.This has been my experience: brief bouts of hopeful experimentation with looooong stretches of disappointment and resignation. Every once in awhile I get sad and try a new set of headphones just to see if they aren't entirely horrible on me. These Philips headphones were a gamble I figured would disappoint like all the rest. (Do I sound bitter? Dang right I am.) I was afraid to be too hopeful at this price point. I am so delighted to tell you, however, that my very low expectations have been happily blown to bits. TO BITS. These Philips "earhook" style phones are soooo comfy. And I can waggle my head all around without them falling out! Heck, they don't even move. Huzzah!Because the speaker is aimed well for my tiny ear canals, I can hear the music really well. Even the bass parts sound pretty dang good. Certainly amazingly well for this price.The only niggle is that I wish there was a volume control on the cord. I'm still very happy with them, though. If you are similarly afflicted with weirdo ears, I'd encourage you to give these a try. Good luck!

I love these for my walks as they have great sound, stay in place, and don't irritate my ears.

I bought these headphones to use while at the gym working out. My regular earbuds would always fall out after a few minutes, and anytime the cord was touched or hit my body I'd hear it over the music, which got pretty annoying. I decided that any earbud type headphone wouldn't work for the gym even if it did have clips or some attachment system.The Philips headphones are pretty low end in terms of sound quality - but then again, what do you expect for less than $10? They definitely get loud enough and the mids and trebles are decent, though I do wish there was more power in the low end. Maybe its just a function of the actual speakers resting on the ear canal instead of creating a solid, airtight fit with the ear like earbuds do. If you press these ones in your ear with your finger you'll get a lot more bass, but no way to keep them there (and it'd be uncomfortable). So if you're looking for deep bass, I wouldn't recommend these. But for most people who just want some decent music, or who are listening to news/podcasts, I think the sound quality is totally fine.The construction of the actual headphone and hooks is pretty good and seems relatively durable. The cord is a good length, it reaches my shorts pocket with an extra 6 or 12 inches to spare, which is great if you're moving around. It might be a bit too much extra cord if you have an arm-attached music player, but then again you may be able to wrap up the extra cord. The cord itself isn't the greatest - it feels somewhat thin/cheap and it has retained the kinks that were there from the folded up packaging when I received the item. But no real complaints as the cord quality doesn't affect the overall usage, its just a bit different than the cord on my higher end (i.e. $30) Sony earbuds.Overall I'm pretty happy with the headphones. They have decent sound and don't transfer noise through the cord, they stay in my ear with no issues, and they were very inexpensive. I definitely recommend them if you want something to use at the gym or while working out. If you are an audiophile or have unlimited funds, then I'm sure there are better products out there and these Philips aren't for you. But then again, you probably wouldn't be even reading this review : )
