Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * A Good Flexible earphone ...
The SONY MDR-AS50 provides good sound with morderate bass and is good for use while working out. The extension cable is almost always necessary unless you have an mp3 player such as an ipod shuffle that you can clip onto your arm.
Wearing this neck-band will require some skills for the first few attempts and eventually it becomes easy.



Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Headphones
These are probably one of the best headphones I've ever purchased. They come with 3 sizes of ear buds for the perfect fit. I workout 6 days a week: cardio, weight lifting. Never had an issue with them falling out. I highly recommend them to anyone that has an active lifestyle.



Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * Excellent for cardio ...
I have had these now for about 10 months. I was looking for headphones to wear while running. That's it. Just running. There are a lot of headphones that would be more suitable for weight training, while on a bench, etc. and I use others for that purpose. Two things set these apart from many - probably most - other headphones for use while running: 1) the ability to handle lots of sweat (and not die) and 2) the ability to stay in place while running. MANY headphones will not handle the sweat and die. These handle both of these criteria very well.

The cord is a two-piece; I don't care about that but those that like to clip their ipod to their shirt sleeve will find that a nice feature. The cable management (left side) is good and as unobtrusive as can be expected. They are light and have good sound quality (...while running - these are not $300 Bose sets...) It comes with a nice case to prevent the cord from knotting up with all the other cords in my gym bag. I have seen reports that the buds are hard to fit but I did not find that the case. The buds are in the ear - I like that - not on the ear.

Overall, I would rate this a 5 (instead of the 4 I gave them) but the spine now seems broken (after 10 months, *sigh*) near the left ear piece which makes it difficult to get a snug fit in that ear. The spine is probably a piece of plastic inside the rubber coating but should be a lot tougher and not fail after only 10 months. I'll try another pair though to see if it occurs again because after trying MANY other sets over many years, these come the closest to being "just right". For running.



Buyer's feedback: 3 out of 5 stars - Perfect form, adequate function
These headphones are almost exactly what I was looking for. I wanted headphones that don't go over the top of my head since that would mess up my hair while commuting and get in the way of my helmet when cycling. Also, typical buds ALWAYS fall out of my ear...I guess my ears are just shaped funny. These headphones always stay comfortably in my ear and appear to be quite durable. Having said that, the sound quality isn't as good as I hoped. The headphones aren't very loud and if you crank them up, the sound is a bit distorted and lacks richness. Overall I am happy with the headphones, I just wish the sound quality was a bit better.



Buyer's feedback: 3 out of 5 stars - * Decent, but have used more comfortable ...
I ordered these headphones to use at the gym and while running. I like the spring loaded headband idea, and the ear buds aren't too bad. Sound was acceptable for exercise use (not Hi-Fi by any means). The cord has a nice feature where you can adjust where it exits. Nice features all around. The problem for me was the headphone would sag, causing the arm holding the earbud to put pressure on my ear. Not horrible, could probably even lear to live with it, but for $50, I'd rather find something else. I was less than impressed with the carry case too. I didn't expect much, but it is pretty much impossible to get the headset in the case quickly. Not a deal killer though.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a rollicking voyage in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The action, largely revolving around a pirate alliance against the ruthless East India Trading Company, doesn't disappoint, though the violence is probably too harsh for young children. Through it all, the plucky cast (Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush) are buffeted by battle, maelstroms, betrayal, treachery, a ferocious Caribbean weather goddess, and that gnarly voyage back from the world's end--but with their wit intact. As always, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow tosses off great lines ; he chastises "a woman scorned, like which hell hath no fury than!" He insults an opponent with a string of epithets, ending in "yeasty codpiece."!

In the previous The Curse of the Black Pearl, Sparrow was killed--sent to Davy Jones' Locker. In the opening scenes, the viewer sees that death has not been kind to Sparrow--but that's not to say he hasn't found endless ways to amuse himself, cavorting with dozens of hallucinated versions of himself on the deck of the Black Pearl. But Sparrow is needed in this world, so a daring rescue brings him back. Keith Richards' much ballyhooed appearance as Jack's dad is little more than a cameo, though he does play a wistful guitar. But the action, as always, is more than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" As far as fans are concerned, it matters not. --A.T. Hurley

On the DVD
Here's something you can't say about just any DVD extras: There appears to be more of Keith Richards in the outtakes, interviews, and other special features on the At World's End disc than in the actual film. For those scenes alone, this special edition is well worth the price. Richards looks as woozy and gamey as all the rumors suggested, and answers questions he's not asked, with Johnny Depp sitting next to him, almost acting as a translator. Richards offers pithy comments like, "Everything I do is original, you better believe," and smiles when other cast members call him "Two-Take Richards" for supposedly nailing his scenes.

The packed second disc also includes a terrific mini-doc on how the filmmakers created the famous maelstrom, in an enormous hanger in Palmdale, California, with the ships floating 30 feet off the ground. "Just moving the Black Pearl was an enormous undertaking," says producer Jerry Bruckheimer with serious understatement. Other cool extras include "Tale of the Many Jacks," deleted scenes with great commentary, "The World of Chow Yun-Fat," a bio of composer Hans Zimmer, features on the set designers, a look at the impressive Brethren Court, and some hilarious bloopers. "You can't curse in a Disney film," deadpans Depp when a costar blurts out something blue. "See? I told him." The extras are truly as much of a rollicking adventure as the film. --A.T. Hurley

Thanks to a fortuitous intersection of talent and fate, 22-year-old Josh Groban hasn't finished his senior year in performing arts school but has already released his sophomore effort on a major major label. Fans of the young vocal phenom's debut will find much to enthrall them here, even if it nudges the singer closer to the center of producer/mentor David Foster's MOR pop sensibilities. Eschewing much of its predecessor's more overt classic-lite pretensions and pop-rock covers for a slate of dramatic, Eurocentric ballads that serve as a showcase for the singer's inviting baritone, Groban shrewdly positions himself as the American alternative to the Bocelli-Watson crossover axis. "Caruso" may find the singer falling short of its operatic inspiration, but "Oceano" and "My Confession" quickly showcase his true dramatic range (which seems to all but yearn for a bona fide Broadway musical challenge), while a vocal take of Bacalov's graceful "Il Postino" theme uses classical virtuoso Joshua Bell's violin flourishes to good effect. To his credit, Groban displays some promising efforts at songwriting collaboration on the bittersweet "Per Te" and "Remember When It Rains," while the ambient/ethnic soundscape of Deep Forest's "Never Let Go" offers a teasing alternative to the record's otherwise melodramatic production formula. Groban has found commercial triumph via Foster's mentoring, but there remains a nagging sense here that he hasn't truly pushed himself as an artist--yet. --Jerry McCulley

The world can't get enough of Madonna, and with CD/DVD sets like The Confessions Tour dropping regularly, it's little wonder why. As a thrower of fantasy dance parties, she is peerless. As a physical role model for the 40-ish women who grew up on her music, she rules. And as an arbiter of what's going to sound shockingly original in any given decade--well, duh. The Confessions Tour rounds up songs from way back--"Ray of Light" and "La Isla Bonita" make the DVD, and "Lucky Star" and "Like a Virgin" are on the CD as well as the DVD--but this concert, filmed in 2006 at London's Wembley Arena, aims its sturdiest spotlight on Confessions on a Dance Floor, Madge's 2005 disco disc. You could argue, then, that unless you're in it for the sheer DVD spectacle (and what a spectacle it is), there's no sense in owning this package. Only you wouldn't be right. Because as any on-the-ball Madonna fan knows, what she's doing musically is telling a story--you may already know the characters, but that doesn't mean she hasn't completely reworked the plot. To that end, "I Love New York" gets its rock on, "Let It Will Be" has a musical temper tantrum, and "Hung Up" goes for the drama queen award. You've heard these songs before, but you've never heard them quite like this, to borrow a bad informercial phrase. As twisted and hopped-up as they've become, they're all worth getting to know again. --Tammy La Gorce

Apparently there's nothing in Kabbalah that disallows sweaty, head-spinningly good dance music, because here comes a flame-haired Madonna hawking a dozen songs' worth: Confessions on a Dance Floor darts seamlessly from Madge's early days, when she emerged as the genre's enduring darling, through the political, kiddie, and acoustic pap that drove a wedge between her and early adopters of the fingerless glove look. Songs like the pop-leaning "Jump" and first single "Hung Up"--an adrenaline drip on high that, like many of these tracks, will inspire mild shame among those who've thrilled to the much thinner disco-dusted outpourings of younger divas recently--represent both a return to form and an unmistakable march into the future. "Get Together" is a sonic freak-out in the best sense; "Push" traffics in gut-level futuristic trance; and "Forbidden Love" loops in '80s blips and bleeps for a follow-me-into-the-past effect that's both neo and retro. For all the image-affirming innovations here, though, these confessions find Madonna framed in her share of reflective moments too. "Was it all worth it/How did I earn it?" she asks on "How High," a song featuring vocoder. "Nobody's perfect/I guess I deserve it," comes the answer. A later lyrical inquiry is left for the listener to judge: "Does this get any better?" Madonna wants to know. But that opens the door to a dizzying proposition. Few of us would have guessed, after all, that it got this good. --Tammy La Gorce
