I get these to go jogging because they look nice , be from a reputable brand , and have positive review . I see the review about they be big , but I assume these people have especially small ear , since the majority of reviewer like they . I have very average size ear for a woman . in every aspect , these be too big . at a little over 5\/8 '' , the depth be so large that they stick out farther than any part of my ear . they measure 1 3\/8 '' from the center of the earbud to the top of the loop , which be just enough room to brush the top of my ear uselessly . the earbud itself be so large that it get painful if you keep it in too long . the only thing that allow it to stay in place -lrb- only when there be no motion on the cord -rrb- be that it curl in tightly enough that the part that go behind the ear fit ; but even that be not rigid enough to comfortably hold it . all this combined means that while run , I have to put the cord through my shirt so there be no movement at the ear hook , and the wind go through the part not touch my ear definitely travel into the headphone to create a noisy environment . when it be in place , the sound quality be decent , although there be not much bass . the sound be crisp . the cord be not the highest quality , so after use it for a week , it still retain the bend and fold where they be in the original package device . so in conclusion , measure you ear and compare to the above number before purchase . if it fit , at around $ 6 , it be a great deal . if not , it be definitely not worth the hassle .
