I was looking for a headset that I could use for a 5K. I don't do a lot of running, so didn't want to spend too much. Wanted a headset that was also an MP3 player, so I did not have to run with my phone. This fit the need perfectly. Was it highest Fidelty sound? No, but I would not expect that for the price. It allowed me to listen to music at a decent level, comfortably, without my phone. Just my needs. The best thing I can say about this is that when the run was done, other than, of course, hearing my playlist as I ran, I did not think of the headphones at all. The fit/comfort and listening experience I simply did not even think about. In other words, I forgot they were even there. Sure, features and controls are limited, but could not really ask for better at this price point.
