Monster - iSport Strive Earbud Headphones great sound good price good build quality

I guess I have weird ears or I'm not cool enough to have Beats in-ear headphones, THEY JUST NEVER FIT WELL, so .....just randomly I saw these and I was like I might as well try this set of Monster in-ear headphones. Best 49.99 I ever spent, these are not technically IN your ear but they sit near the ear canal and the lil rubber piece holds it in your ear. The sound is very good, bass is decent especially since your not stuffing this INSIDE your ear. I listen to a song that I know has deep bass and high treble, the pair is GOOD FOR BOTH and everything in between. I did some head banging to see if they fall out and they honestly don't fall out. I suggest trying on each rubber tip, because my left ear uses large and my right is medium. (side note: I have wireless Beats ON-ear from when MONSTER was the manufacturer and there is no comparison to now when Apple took over. Beats suck now.)

These are pretty good for the money. I'm sticking with these after buying about 10 other headphones. All I wanted was something that wouldn't fall out of my ears, would still be comfortable, and wouldn't have unreal cord noise like half of the headphones out there. Sound quality wasn't the most important thing to me, although these have decent sound. But these do stay in no matter what activity you're doing, they have zero cord noise which is amazing, and they're relatively comfortable. I got headaches from the nice Bose and JBL ones that fit in your ears with the hooks - this one, I don't. After an hour or two (like on the plane), I'll notice they're there, but it's not painful by any means. I'm just really happy they don't have any cord noise - that is unbelievably annoying when you're working out.

Fits nicely in my ear , sound is good and feels much more durable compared to the previous Revision of this model.

These earbud headphones were great when I first bought them. At first I was skeptical about them because I was unsure if they would stay in the ear. After a 5 mile run, these headphones stayed in the ear without any adjustments. I gave these headphones a "3" rating because after 1 week, the volume on the cord stopped working. I returned these and bought the Bose SoundSport earbud headphones. Perhaps this particular set I bought was just defective, but I did not want to take another chance.

I really like the product. Sound is good and they stay on when exercising. The issue was after about 30 of wearing on the eliptical or when travelling - the left ear quit working. glad I bought the extended warranty which was exchanged with no issues. Solid product, just hope they last more than a month this time.

I like these headphones. They really do stay in my ears and aren't uncomfortable. I just wish I could control the volume or answer calls without having to use the phone. I know they have other models that have controls but, this is the only pair they had at my local Best Buy when I went to get them.

the best earphones for that active person in your life. Extremely comfortable and the sound is so true. You can hardly feel them when they are in and their ability to stay in place while completing an active workout is amazing,

Wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased these head phones. But once I practiced popping them in my ear I realized how comfortable they were. Additionally, they locked in my ear pretty securely. The sound is great as well.

Sound is excellent--I usually have worn ear buds that hook over the ear for riding bicycles and motorcycles, and sometimes the hook interferes with the helmet and causes discomfort--with the small bud, these work well.

First you have to like the color. The sound is great and it's almost like having noise canceling they fit so tightly. The cords a little short but it works for me.

I love this headset. It has great sound and it does not fall out of my ears when running. The lime green color is very nice -- easy to find and looks great. I mainly use it for listening to music, but have also used with my cell phone. I haven't had any complaints about the sound from the mic. The cord size is perfect for me.

I originally purchased these to use while riding my motorcycle. It didn't work out and here are the issues I (and 2 others) had- The locking feature is a neat concept but doesn't hold well, we all tried every size. Once they slip even a little, there goes your quality sound. By the way the sound reproduction quality is rather astonishing when they are well fit, considering. For audio listening I generally use circumaural headphones (Full size, over the entire ear). So I don't have much experience with high end phones alike these, but I was pleasantly surprised. I think they would work well for walking, I've used them a few times laying around at home. Even a mild workout with them they tend to pop out consistently I'm assuming it may have something to do with the weight of them, they are well made and are fairly heavy.

These are great headphones for athletic use. Solid feel in ear and don't jar looses from bumps in the road. Are not effected by sweet either.

Headphones have a great sound and a snug fit in my ears. I am able to run without them falling out and still have a great sound.

They are pretty secure in the ear, they don't come loose. Sound is good, not great. Worth the money mostly for the snug fit.

Great sound clarity, voice clarity, durability, and they stay put on the ear. Recommended

I have tried countless different earbuds and headphones to use for my workouts. None of them have worked as they don't stay in my ear due to ear size issues and sweating during workouts. With these Monster headphones, I finally found a pair that works for me. They have not fallen out once and the sound is fantastic. The price is very fair given the quality and reliability of these headphones.

The sound quality is great and I love the bright color. Only downfall is the cord. I like a non tangle cord

These sounded decent, stayed in my ear which is important while working out...but the right ear bud went silent after the third time I used them. I haven't had time to get back to best buy to exchange, but it's just such a pain. I just want a pair of ear buds that work and stay in my ear! I've had more luck with the cheap Samsung pair that came with my galaxy s5! And btw, these are not noise canceling...you can hear a lot of outside noise which is ok with me but maybe not for some.
