Virgin PulseActive Fit Headphones - VP09

I purchased these as a backup to my normal gym/running headphones. Out of the box, they fit very well and are comfortable to wear. They are so light as to be practically unnoticeable. The cord isn't excessively long, so no swinging around when you run. There is also a volume control on the cord. The parts that touch your skin are rubberized, so it should hold up well to sweat. All in all, these are nicely designed headphones.Unfortunately, the pair I received had a defective right headphone. Five minutes out of the box I noticed intermittent static (suggesting a loose connection) which got progressively worse. The sound out of the left speaker is pretty good, not mindblowing, but these are $5 headphones.I'm going to return them to Amazon and order another set. If the next pair works, I'll up my review to four stars.

People that participate in any kind of physical activity are always looking for headphones that stay in place when performing their activity. These headphones are what you sought. They stay on your ears with the speakers resting comfortably on the opening of your ear canal. The speakers sound as good as any I have heard in the past. There is an in-line volume control, and the wire has a nice Velcro band to keep it bundled up when not in use. At three dollars a set, you will never find a better deal!

Right earbud was blown out and distorted upon arrival. It worked when squeezed together. But, it did not work when resting in your ear.

- Not very loud even with volume slider to max level- Fits well & stays in place- Not bad considering the price

After 6 months, these headphones will stop working in one ear piece and the other will follow afterward.

Super comfortable and great volume control. Very happy

The device itself is crap. I've replaced twice in 9 months. Both times the button to choose between functions quit working

had to return - only one side worked
