"Nice comfortable 'phones"
These seem to be a variant of the PMX-100 headphones but with the around the neck design. I wanted a light and largely open air for around town, shopping and such. They do let others hear a bit but there just a nice general use pair of headphones which I use with my iPod. They are what they are and do it quite nicely - the sound is pleasing with clear highs and decent lows. They are not closed or in ear types, nor are they high end but hey for 90% of iPod use they're great and I definitely recommend them.

"Broke after only about 6 months"
I may be speaking on something that was fixed or maybe I got a "old" pair, but the frame near the earpad has cracked in half on me. It is made of plastic, hard plastic, which caused it to break. I even super glued it back together because the headphones themselves are stellar. They came back apart after my older brother SAT on them while they were on my chair. So I glued them back together again and they stayed up for about 2 more weeks...

I am not the most gentle, but I do care of my headphones (besides my brother sitting on them, lol). I run a music blog and listen to over 50 new songs a day, though, so I did use them everyday. They are FAIRLY comfortable, but you can feel it when you take them off. I've had countless headphones over the years, and these were great. But the build was not up to par, but like I said before, maybe I got an old pair. I just know I won't be ordering this pair anymore. Make sure you pay attention to this area, as it starts to turn white before it is going to crack. I didn't think it was possible, though. Even my old 20 dollar sony street styles (which I am going back to) lasted years and never suffered such a defect.

I would not recommend this product for any active activity, as I have never done anything active in them and they still broke on me.

"Not worth the money"
Unfortunately these headphones were just not what I was hoping for. They seem to not fit right on my ears and allow a great deal of ambient noise in which in turn causes me to have to turn up my music to compensate for it. The sound quality is just OK. I will probably end up giving this set to my kids and finding another set for work.

"Hope your head is huge!"
These ear phones have no adjustment options, so unless your head is quite large, these will be uncomfortably loose fitting and distracting should you move your head.

"Loud, clear, and comfortable"
After many of the better, but cheaper, headphones have come and gone I doubled my budget and bought this PMX60 model. They are much superior to cheapies, even sounding comparable to far more expensive Bose! The fit is very good with a light touch, but secure and good ear coverage. They do not block out outside sounds. The sound is louder than with the same setting on other headphones, but there is distortion when cranked up to very loud. (This could be from overdriving the tiny amp in my mp3 player. )The only downside is they feel a bit hot and may become too sweaty for wear during exercise.
