Since this really much more to do with convenience than fidelity, the headphones don't really disappoint me. Just a couple of adjustments were in order. Strangely, although everything else seemed well constructed, when I removed the foam covers on the buds I noticed that the tiny holes beneath the metal mesh were almost obscured by the plastic apertures in the casing. The right bud was fine but the left's holes were almost obscured. Very fortunately the whole plastic casing rotates on the bud (very stiffly, obviously not meant to) and I was able to remedy this.
With the foam removed the buds stay in my ears much better while running. Another little adjustment was to add a tiny (from my electronics junk drawer) alligator clip to the plastic bead/stop that is molded on the line about 12inches from the buds. I can clip this to my shirt and the weight of the cord no longer jiggles the buds out of my ears. This is another "why the hell didn't they think of this" things when you consider how often these will be used for excercise.
Fly tying skills do sometimes come in handy. I mounted the alligator clip to the bead using tightly wrapped non-waxed dental floss and then "filled" the floss with super glue. Hardened in about thirty seconds and then blackened with perm marker. Looks "factory". Super Glue and dental floss is an extremely handy fix-it tool.
