CORINTH Distributed by MCM Back of Neck Lightweight Headphones

I haven't had these, and i mean these EXACT pairs, of headphones since I was a kid and they came with my first CD walkman. They're comfy and convenient (as i am a big hat wearer and dread putting over the ear headphones stretched across them). Don't expect noise cancelling or anything fancy, but I do like the sound quality overall for the price.

These fit all of my criteria for workout headphones. They're corded. The weight of the cord keeps them in place on my ear and don't bounce around like wireless over the ear headphones, nor do they fall out like the earplug type headphones. One caveat to this is that the cord is far too long (I would like to point out, not heavy on the ears, just long). I am a 6'1' fat guy and I could wear my music device on my ankles and still use these headphones. When on a treadmill I run with the cord through my shirt, and my phone on the console with cord left. A couple of other gripes due to length, you have to watch when you go to the bathroom because the cord will sway out and touch everything (not inside, but the bowl/urinal itself for men and women I would think) and around equipment it tends to generally get in the way as any long cord would. But I would rather have this problem than being wireless. Or I could just come up with a solution and be done with it. Update: I just wrap the cord around my phone a couple of times and shove it in my pocket. . They are over-the-ear and behind the neck. As explained, I hate earplug headphones because they fall out with sweat (for me anyway). They are also rigid because they are connected in the back by a solid piece of plastic holding them in place. I also fear that over-the-head headphones will eventually rotate to the front or to the back requiring adjustment every so often. I never have to adjust these. Just put them on and go. Comfortability is good, not exceptional. I had some discontinued Sony headphones that I think this company mimicked, but this plastic seems more stiff/thicker or less pliable. It's usually just when I go to put them on, it may feel slight discomfort while adjusting, but then I don't notice it after that. Also, it seems like the padding could be just slightly thicker. They are good for now, but I think they will wear out quickly with extended usage. These are not deal breakers for the price, but something that just catches my attention once in a great while. Sound quality is good enough. These are cheap headphones, I am not expecting to rock the house with base from these. But if you want some tunes and/or a podcast while you work out, these fit the bill. I almost forgot to mention the "tangle free" cord. It's long, but I am pleasantly impressed with the tangle free-ness of the cord. I don't know how standard it is these days, but it's nice and I want to point it out for such cheap headphones. Overall, these are my headphones of choice for workouts (good enough), and I will be buying these until something better comes along or they stop making them. My main concern is that they stay in place. I don't want to have to adjust my headphones on a run and these don't move. And they are cheap. I can replace these every few months and not worry too much about it because I can't find "good" quality headphones even at a more expensive price point with the features listed above. For the company, if you read this, make the cord shorter (maybe by a little over a foot), see if you can make the plastic around the ears a little more pliable, maybe slightly thicker padding for the ears, and adding more bass would be a bonus, if it didn't cost too much extra. Otherwise, I don't really care about the bass. UPDATE: After ordering these a couple of times to replace broken ones, they just don't last very long. A couple of months each, maybe. Everything in my review is still true (with the exception of always buying them), and I know they are cheap, but I was just replacing them a little too often. This expedited my search for a new headset, of which, I have found. And believe it or not, my new headset is wireless (lol) which I have also reviewed.

Had a pair very similar to these some years ago. The left ear went out and I have been looking for a replacement since. THIS pair is the best! I love the sound quality, and the balance is perfect. The best part is that the bar connecting the two earpieces is NOT xstiff or tight. In fact, very flexible. MUCH nicer than the other pair I bought to test! Very much a keeper - fits my cell phone, laptop AND desk top perfectly.

The sound is muffled and poor quality, moving the jack creates a weird static sound (and it's a straight jack so it has a higher chance of breaking easily), the plastic is tight for the ears so there's pressure from the plastic (not comfy for long periods of time), but the earmuffs are angled weird so they don't fully cover/touch the ear. Nothing but disappointment.

Well these work fine. I like the wired behind the ear headphones and this is my third set. Out of the box, I would have given it one star. They were tight and didn't fit my head to the point they hurt and I could hardly hear. However, they do stretch slowly. I warmed the plastic with a hairdryer and have been slowly stretching it to match my head. I was a little afraid I would break them, but they are very flexible. It takes a while for them to stretch to the shape you want, but after about a week, I could get the speakers to rest comfortably on my ears. They are now at a 5 star level with the work I put into them. Be advised, they are cheap headphones. The 5 is because they are about as good as you are going to get with a cheap set. They sound nowhere as good as my 50 dollar full padded headphones.

i mean, i took a gamble, right? Out of the bag, they barely manage a contact with any device i plugged into, and the audio is torn apart when present. unless you know a secret to making broken headsets work, I would say DO NOT BUY. i feel like i got a refurbished headset that was really just stuck into a bag with a paper thing and ear plugs. The contact randomly became good enough that I can hear well enough. The quality is very low, but at least there's sound. If you're crafty, the design is pretty simple, so that could be it for some. I wouldn't buy it again, but I can keep it as a backup. Edit: updated

interesting, but works good

The wire from the headphone may become detached after a year or more of use.

I really love behind neck headphones but the sound on this is pretty bad

Super confortable

This is my second purchase because the first was great and after a couple of years the foam broke down and when this set has foam breakdown i will purchase the same.

Complete garbage. Audio constantly cuts in and out. Very poor sound quality when working. Do not purchase even for casual, minimal use.

It's very good but the plug only last a month
