I love them. I use the tension band because I guess i have a wierd shaped head. I like the sound quality, and you can raise or lower the volume either with the volume buttons on the phone, or the volume control on the back of the head band.

I can't understand how folks seem to like them so much. I bought them yesterday and tried them out, they have awful sound quality and don't exactly sound like normal headphones. When you're somewhere where there is a lot of traffic, you can't really hear the iPhone or GPS. -Shaf On 7/17/13, Lisa belville <missktlab1...@frontier.com> wrote: > I understand completely. <smiles> > > They fit behind my ears Okay, but I've given up on getting them to fit > exactly across the back of my head.
