Jensen JB15 Portable Stereo Headphonex
  (10 reviews)
Best Price: $12.95
Jensen's JB15 headphones rest behind the neck to keep your hair from getting messed up by unsightly headbands. The JB15s have rubber-coated inserts that fit inside the user's ears. Each earpiece contains a magnet made of neodymium, a rare-earth material that allows smaller magnets to be more powerful. The single-entry cord helps to prevent tangles. It includes a corrosion-free gold plug. An in-line volume control and mute switch keep you from having to root through your bag every time you want to make a quick level adjustment.

Flawed Design
By A1F4Z52JMHL24T on 2002-05-03
Volume control on this headphone (which made me to buy his product) is located close to the pin rather than to the headphone. Construction: Pin---VolumeControl with a clip---Coiled 15(or so) ft cord---headphone. Sounds funny. I returned the product.
Great for Running
By A3CV9D7K3145YZ on 2005-07-05
These headphones are well thought out and are the best I've found for running. The behind the neck design allows you to wear a hat while you run and the single cord seems custom designed for runners - especially if you run with your MP3 player attached to your waistband. The cord has a short straight section near the pin, then a clip, and then a long coiled section. The result is that you can run the uncoiled section from your MP3 player around your back at the waist then clip it there. This allows the coiled section to be positioned securely directly below the headphone it is attached to.
Love these--Great price and form!

I am addicted to these! The coil, the swivel earbuds, the design--they are great!

Lightweight, good sound, swivel speaker mounts are sometimes hard to adjust for best sound.
Be careful what you wish for
By A1T6ZRQEWG5LDB on 2006-02-20
After tolerating the annoyance of my MP3 player's earbuds for over a year, I decided to spend a few dollars to get some headphones that wouldn't fall out during a workout.
I considered several different sets of headphones here on Amazon, and I finally settled on these. I noted the caveats of other reviewers about the tight fit, but I figured that tight fit was excactly what I was after, anyway. After a few workouts with these headphones, here's my thoughts:
The reviewers who pointed out the tight fit were not kidding. These things will never come out of your ears; running, crunches, whatever. The price to be paid for this is definite discomfort. The first ten or fifteen minutes are tolerable, but by the end of your first half-hour with these things in, your ears will really hurt.
I'm not a sound quality guru by any means, but the sound from the headphones seems to be just fine.
In addition to the fit there's a couple of other criticisms to be made about the design, although they're really just nitpicks. This headset has its own volume adjustor built in to the cord, which I imagine will be redundant for 90% of its users (it certainly is for me). The cord is also wound into a spiral for part of the length (kind of like an old pre-cordless telephone), which looks somewhat odd.
So all told, if you want a pair of headphones that you won't have to keep putting back into your ears when you're working out, then these are for you.. provided that you have an extraordinary tolerance for pain. I'll most likely be picking up some other headphones shortly.
