Input:
I spent time reading reviews on several different headphones in the sub $30 range and took a chance on these.

Sound is decent, and they are fairly light but that's about the only praise I have.

The cord is waaaaay too short.  To use on a treadmill you have to hold your music player or use an arm pouch.  Given the lack of a volume control in the cord, unless all your music sources (mp3s, internet radio, youtube) are all of equal volume then you will have to adjust the volume on your music player frequently.

The metal band is very stiff and too small, feels like it was sized for a child - I don't have a large head.  They're quite uncomfortable when worn behind the neck and feel like the old "nightgear" that plagued those wearing braces in days of yore.  They are tolerable for a 10 minute warmup or a 30 min cardio stint but become very uncomfortable for a longer use than that.  The speakers are cheap and though they rotate, they regularly pop off the hinges and have to be snapped back together.

I've given them a few weeks and I can't stand them any longer.  My visit back to Amazon today is to write this review and look for a replacement.
