PHILIPS SHS3200WT Flexible Earhook Headphones, White

Very good sound reproduction. Highs are not harsh or too bright as with many earbuds. Bass is clean and not muddy and is quite adequate especially at < 15 dollars. Only drawback is that no foam covers are supplied for the drivers. I have big ears and a fat head. Can’t stand in the ear buds so these are just the ticket for me. They don’t interfere with my eyeglasses and I can sleep on my side with them on. For me, these are more comfortable than non ear hook types as the conventional type are always falling out. I which that the whole assembly was adjustable to better suit individual needs. All they need is a wire imbedded in the plastic so they could be better shaped. They do stay on well while I am working and don’t fall of while listening in bed. Good value otherwise and they work well with my iPod Classic, Sansa Clip, and my home audio system.

Update 2/8/16: I've now been using my "earhooks" for almost two months. I still like them a whole lot; however, there are a couple things I noticed and wanted to add to my review. Firstly, I have periodically experienced a static zap in my ears when unplugging from my devices (iPad Air2, iPhone 6s, Macbook Pro) while keeping the earhooks on. The hooks are not easy to get on and off. Thus, if I need to disconnect from my device for a moment, I sometimes leave earpieces on my head and unplug at the device, tucking the cord end in my pocket. The zapping seems to happen when the atmosphere is staticky and the bare metal jack touches something with a charge (like my sweater or my husband). Kerpowie! I'm more careful now about how I disconnect the jack and making sure the jack is tucked away safely while I'm walking around. Secondly, the sound from the earpieces is readily perceived by others at moderate volumes. This is because the earpieces don't actually go *in* the ear canal, but rest just outside, which allows some sound to escape. This is not a deal-breaker for me, but was a bit of a surprise when I thought I was being all sneaky but my husband could hear everything I was listening to. ;) Even with these caveats, I still think that at under 10 samoleans these little guys are a good value. I really like the sound, they're very comfortable, and they are the only inexpensive headphones I have that don't fall out. Original Review: Holy moly, I have finally found it: cheap headphones that sound decent and—most importantly to me—don't fall outta my ears! Wow. I have them on right now. And I totally love them. My ears are... I don't know. Alien ears. Toddler ears. Not normal adult human ears, apparently. Because I have never ever EVER found a set of earbuds/headphones that didn't simply drop out of my ears—or hurt. In-ear buds hurt me. Even the smallest size inserts are painful. I've also tried the over-ear form factor a few times without success. The speaker was always aimed in a way that I could not hear the sound easily. This has been my experience: brief bouts of hopeful experimentation with looooong stretches of disappointment and resignation. Every once in awhile I get sad and try a new set of headphones just to see if they aren't entirely horrible on me. These Philips headphones were a gamble I figured would disappoint like all the rest. (Do I sound bitter? Dang right I am.) I was afraid to be too hopeful at this price point. I am so delighted to tell you, however, that my very low expectations have been happily blown to bits. TO BITS. These Philips "earhook" style phones are soooo comfy. And I can waggle my head all around without them falling out! Heck, they don't even move. Huzzah! Because the speaker is aimed well for my tiny ear canals, I can hear the music really well. Even the bass parts sound pretty dang good. Certainly amazingly well for this price. The only niggle is that I wish there was a volume control on the cord. I'm still very happy with them, though. If you are similarly afflicted with weirdo ears, I'd encourage you to give these a try. Good luck!

I like to take my iPod shuffle running and bike riding, and am on a never ending quest to find the perfect headphones that will stay put no matter what I'm doing. Up until this point the winner has been Philips' ear hook headphones that were predecessors to these. They were pretty durable, stayed put well, and the sound was decent. I tried numerous other styles like the Sony MDR-EX81 (yuck), MDR-J10 (uber-yuck), and a number of others. These surpass all others, and they are CHEAP (as in, inexpensive)!! They have a nice springiness to them that holds the aural piece nicely inside your ear without leading to any pressure points or discomfort, they block more outside noise than many other designs (see gripe below) so more of the music comes through unmolested, the cord is a good length for on-body music device use (maybe a little long), and did I mention they are super cheap? My only gripe so far is that they really do need those thin foam coverings that most ear bud headphones use nowadays. My iPods come with ear bud headphones (which I also like, but not for sports) and they ship with a few extra packs of the foam pieces. I put some of those over these headphones and voila, the best headphones to date. Without the foam, the fit is a little less comfortable and they don't nest in your ear canal quite as effectively and let more ambient noise through. Also, since the rubber over-the-ear piece is basically nonadjustable, folks with size-challenged or -enhanced ears may not end up with the ear piece falling in the right spot. This may be a bell curve sized product. Everyone's ears are different, but if iPod headphones fit you pretty well in general but want something that will hook over your ears to stay put (and you don't have elephant ears), give these a shot. It's only a $10 experiment. I need to subtract one star for the lack of the foam coverings...

Great little earbuds I purchased for my husband. He said he loves them, they work great and stay on his ears while working out.

I'm currently the youngest resident of an assisted living facility. I got these for two reasons. They'd be easier to deal with than a full-size pair of headphones, and because they'd make sleeping with whatever my white noise of choice easier... just pop em in place and go. Unlike earbuds they don't really get inserted into the ear, but rest just outside of the earhole. The loop they're attached to goes around the ear, and between the two, it'll all stay put. When it does, sound quality is nice for speakers the size of a dime, more or less. Bass leave a bit to be desired but it's not like the music is being played on a penny whistle or anything. For the price and size it's probably as good as you'd expect without a "bass boost" doohicky. They have no noise canceling to speak of, save for just turning the volume up. Now for the dinosaur in the guineapig enclosure. These **REFUSE** to stay in place through such rough, strenuous events as reading a book. Watching TV. Watching yootoob. Having dinner. Lying in bed, both with and without fluffy pillows. And many other things I'm not going to bother defining; your imagination will do a better job anyway. Over rhe course of a few minutes, the speaker will "walk" out of the correct position, taking with it most of the sound quality. "But maybe you're putting them on wrong?" I've followed instructions, seen photos and even a video on emplacing these. No dice. Either I have a pair of the most abnormal ears ever, or there's something hinky going on with them, or I'm totally incompetent. If they stayed put, they'd be ☆☆☆☆ for sure. I'm giving them three because I'm not 100% convinced my ears aren't weird. If I was, they'd get two stars. What's the point of earphones if they refuse to stay in place?

I have been going to gym regularly for the past 5 years. I take working out pretty seriously and I sweat a lot. I tried many kinds, makes and brands of headphones and no headphones lasted more than 6 months due to sweat even when I spent $25 a piece. The major problem with the other brands I used so far is, the sweat goes into the headphones and they stop working after 3 to 6 months, some brands even after 2 months. 9 months ago, I bought these Philips SHS3200 headphones for $8 right here on amazon and they are still working fine. I am a small person and my body parts including my ears are small. After reading some of the reviews here, I was hesitant before purchasing whether these headphones would be big for my ears. I gave these headphones a shot because I was unhappy with various headphones I used until then and these are only $8. I have no trouble using these headphones for two to three hours at a time. If I use it more than three hours at a time, I feel a very little pain in my ears. I would still buy these headphones again and I give these headphones 5 stars. The way these headphones are designed they don't fall off the ears when you are working out. The sound quality I would not say is the best but is pretty good too. For runners and people who work out a lot, definitely try these headphones; these headphones hold up well to sweat. Also, due to sweat and rough use, you don't want to spend a lot on headphones for your work outs. For people who have small ears, you can also try these headphones, don't get discouraged by other people's reviews. One advice to people that have small ears, don't push the headphones all the way into your ears until they hurt your ears; and don't use a hammer to beat these headphones into your small ears; just relax, take it easy and hang these headphones around your ears. For the price of $7 or $8, you can't complain about these headphones. And no, I don't work for Philips. I am a runner and gym maniac myself and I am just a satisfied customer.

I've owned a few pairs of these, so I figured it makes sense that I write a review. The good: I find them to be very comfortable (fine-print: I don't wear glasses) Good sound quality for the money Good ear canal "breathability" (they don't "plug" the ears, as some of the silicon gasket ones do). The bad: I've owned 3 or 4 of these because I've had to replace them about 1-2x per year, and always for the same reason: the rubber "gasket" in between the silver speak outlet and the body of the headphones tends to come off after awhile. Yes, this has happened on EVERY SINGLE pair I've had. However, they are, by far, the most comfortable headphones I've owned (compared with others under $20). In all fairness, to each his own. I prefer comfort (including not having my ear canals "clogged/blocked" by the headphones. In my opinion, these headphones allow for great "breathability" in the ear canal. And the earhooks themselves aren't super stiff - in fact, I find them to have a near-perfect amount of flex - so they should conform to most ears/head for a comfortable fit (they don't press against the head or ears, but aren't so loose to fall out often). The sound quality isn't "top notch", but still good enough to use for most practical purposes. However, on that note, if you have music on loud, it is easier for people near you to hear the music (again, for $10, they're not going to be perfect). These are much more comfortable than any other earhook headphone I've tried (again, in the <$20 range), and that counts for me, even if I have to sacrifice some sound quality and longevity. To each his own. Update: got another pair a few months ago, this time the gasket did not come off, but they just suddenly stopped working today. Might not buy anymore. Update: my newest pair just had the gasket come off again. Still a good product when it's working properly, but considering that every single pair I've owned has had a problem, I can't justify a favorable review, especially considering the price tag (they used to be much cheaper. Now they are $35. WTH?!?!?!). Contacted the seller and they would not provide any sort of compensation. All things considered, I cannot justify a favorable review.

I've gone through a ton of these 'earhook' buds over the last 5 years. To give you a rundown: At least 4 pairs of Sony MDR-J10 h.ear Headphones with Non-Slip Design (Black) One pair of Sennheiser OMX60 Ergonomic Earbuds with Basswind System Sound (No longer for sale on Amazon) and most recently Sony MDR-AS20J Active Style Headphones with Soft Loop Hangers - Black Since I've got wonky ears, regular buds dont work for me at the gym or on my bike. I need something that holds on for dear life, but still has some decent bass. The original Sony MDR-J10's suited my needs because of how cheap they were and it was my first experience with the 'earhook' style. Unfortunately, they were very tinny with barely any bass. Given how cheap they were, and how frequently one of the ears just stopped working, I went through all for 4 pairs in a matter of 2 years. The Sennheisers were my experiment with buying more expensive buds in the hopes that they'd sound much better. Sadly, while they did produce decent bass, they were woefully quiet, even with the built in volume adjustment. Also, the area where the cable turns into the jack was super weak and became exposed and frayed within a few months of office use. The Sony MDR-AS20Js actually sounded pretty good, but the weird full ear loop design made them really uncomfortable. The wires on these seemed just as fragile as the original MDR-J10's as an ear started cutting out soon after I started using them at the gym. I finally tried a pair of the Philips Flexible Earhook Headphones SHS3200/28 (Black) (Replaces SHS3200/37) . Not only do these have great rage of sound, but they're the most comfortable buds I've ever worn. Now, understand that I have odd shaped ears apparently, and not everybody will love the way these feel. The bass is amazing without drowning out the high end. The volume is amazing, almost too loud at times. I'm using these with my Mac Pro and my iPod Shuffle 2nd generation. Just received my 2nd pair so I can leave one at the office and use the other at the gym instead of bringing them back and forth. Hopefully they last a bit longer than the 6 month average I'm working on. I'll update if either pair dies. So far, so good.
