these headphone have a great sound , but the cord be so noisy ! I use they while work out , because the Apple headphone be too big for my ear and either fall out or start to hurt after awhile . these fit great , but anytime the cord hit my shirt , it be so loud and it sound like I be use a stethoscope . I try to put up with it because I be not very picky , but I could not ... so now I be back to my Apple one until I can find something better !
