Boy was I wrong.

Nike makes the worst sport headphones that I can think of.  I have not been impressed by any of their models at all.  They have been no better in my opinion that Phillips headphones  just have costs more.  I have already mentioned three Nike headphones models but I happened across several others today, bought them, simulated running with them, and here are the results.  There were three more than I tried.

The Nike Pursue sport headphones were the first ones that I tested.  They basically two black sweat resistant rubber silicon ear pads that are connected by a thin cord that fits snugly or supposed to fit snugly in both ears.  They retail for $29.99 at Fred Myers.  I was not impressed.  The are virtually just like Philips headphones , mainly the SHS3201 model that sells for 9.99, except because they are “Nike” they sell for twenty dollars more.  The are cheaply made and the sound quality sucks.

The Nike Vapor was not any better.  The only difference with them is that they feature adjustable ear sets. WOW!  They retail for $24.99 at Fred Myer.  Wal Mart may be a little less.

The Nike Flow Sport Headphones were pathetic.  I mean they were horrible.  For $40 you would think that I could get a little bit more value.  They come with a protective storage pouch and cable wire that’s supposed to be lightweight.  The ear plugs were falling out all the time.

The best Nike sport headphones that I found were the Nike Aero sport headphones.  This is why…

I know that the two separate ear pieces look really cool and comfortable.  But they are not.  They fall out.  The best headphones for running are the old style ones with the bendable headband.  As long as they are lightweight you are not going to even know they are on your head.  They keep both ear pieces at the same level and steady.  They are by far the best.  Both Philips and Nike keep attempting these new age sport headphones and gee wiz they suck.  They look “high tech” but its all show.  They are flimsy and fall out your ear when you are running. Stick with what works.  Thats my advice.

I got both of them at Best Buy for around $25.

These headphones each come in way too much plastic packaging by the way. What a waste?  We are tearing up our planet for no reason.  The reason why I bring this up is because when you want to open the packaging to get them out you have to go through like three layers of utterly useless packaging.

Anywhere here is the verdict on them….they suck!  I will stick with Phillips from now on or at least for the time being until I find some better ones.  For the money they are not worth it and you can buy other sport headphones that are built better and are more comfortable.

It was ridiculous from the start how flimsy these headphones really were.  My Nike Motions’ broke within two days.  The wire came off and speaker came out, you name it.  They were really cheaply made.  Good thing Best Buy has a great return policy.  They never asked any questions and promptly either exchanged my purchase or gave me a complete refund.

Next these headphones were extremely uncomfortable.  They hurt and irritated the hell out of me after ten minutes of running.  They were not pleasant at all to use.  If I were anyone I would steer clear of these.

I thought that Nike would make the best but boy was I wrong.  The company makes some other great items but these are not one of them.  When it comes to Nike I think I will just stick with shoes.  Maybe a shirt.  But as far as getting running sport headphones I will stick with others.

Frankly I have bought several headsets in the last several months because I lose them all the time and wanted to get the cheapest set I could find.

These were not the cheapest but they came close.

I was able to get these sport headphones for $15.99.  We do not have a sales tax up here so it was nice not having to pay that.

These headphones are supposed to work fine on MP3s, iPods, and CD applications.  It says that it has 32mm Neodymium speakerdrivers for superb sound quality, bass beat for excellent sound, and ergonomic ear-cushions to ensure an ergonomic preformed comfortable fit.  It has a 3.5 mm stereo plug and comes with 4 ft of cable length.

Listen I do not know half of what they are saying on the headphone packaging.  It all sounds like crap if you ask me.  I found them to be mediocre.

If you are looking for sport headsets I actually think these can get annoying.  The two speakers are connected by a plastic handle that is made to fit around the back of your neck.  Its irritating.  Not to the extent of some others, mind you, but irritating nonetheless.  The sound is alright but sub par.  I was listening to the NCAA championship game between Duke and Villanova and I couldn’t hear the action going on over my treadmill like I wanted to.  Again, it was not bad but not the best.

Overall I give these headphones a 5.  You get what you pay for.  For a cheap set of sport headphones I would say you get your fair value.  Nothing more and nothing less.  In the next article we will talk about bluetooth headphones

This is a secret. I found sports headsets on sale.

It is a very good thing to organize yourself but i don’t really do it.

It was only of limited availability. Nevertheless, it sold well. This is my last point, maybe. What would happen if you combined both of these powerful ideas?.

This is a disturbing development.

That is why people now realize the need for sports headsets. Sports headsets the coolest part of it.

Usually, people get sports headsets that way. You should be daring and creative. Which really leads me to the only thing that really matters. The media doesn’t understand sport headphones.

I had predicted that I should not provide a more focused view.

The best of friends must part.
