They're flexible but lack in sound quality.

     After reading the description on the back of the package, I figured the Philips Comfortable and Secure was exactly what I needed. After trying them on, however, I realised although they are soft and flexible, they will NOT stay on my ears when exercising because my ears are to small. They are definately not made for bass lovers; yet they boast, "Bass pipe acoustically tuned air channel turbo-charges bass notes".
    I thought to myself, "Ok, well I will just use them when sitting at my computer." WRONG! I plugged them into my computer and tried to sit back as I felt them slip off my ears and rest next to my computer and to where the wire's reach comes to an end.

   I figured maybe I shouldn't be slouching back in my chair anyways; it's bad posture after all. I plugged them back in my ears and sat straight up in my chair as close to my computer as I could get and turned on the tunes. The headphones made even the heaviest of bass tunes sound like a chorus of violins and snare drums!

   In short, I recommend these headphones to classical listeners with big ears. To anybody else, I would say try any pair but these.

Cool thanks! I'll look into it. Going to the gym today with a book :) I just need a distraction or else exercise gets boring real quick.

I found some GREAT headphones for the gym finally. The Sennheiser MX55VC/MX55 Basswind headphones! They are great for exercising! They have a think that sticks out that secures them into your ear comfortably. You can find them just about anywhere but I bought mine off of Ebay for a total of $9 which is a steal because without shipping they are normally $15.

Great review. I don't have big ears either and bet they wouldn't hold. Let me know if you find anything better b/c I want some for the gym :) Thanks for sharing!!
