    Review Summary: Good sound reproduction. Others nearby can't hear irritating hissing noise - so good sound insulation. More comfortable than push in ear earphones and not as bulky as standard headphones.

I just purchased these a week ago and they are really uncomfortable. The large bit that sticks in your ear for "stability" is what carries all the weight (and it's not light)so after 10 minutes your ears just start to hurt. I'd recommend earphones for jogging etc and normal headphones if u'r not moving.
