ByNeverJenny "Jenn"on May 1, 2015Verified PurchaseVery light and comfortable in the ear. Flexible band moves easily when I do.
Typically, I wear these when out for a walk or while on the elliptical machine and have the headband portion either below my chin or behind my neck. The speakers still provide good sound no matter what angle I wear them at, and I also get the same comfort level. Some of the more rigid headband types are less forgiving with movement and end up falling off.
The Sonxtronic Xdr-8000 also have a nice, light weight to them so are perfect for a day at the office where I perform medical transcription; a job where uncomfortable and/or heavy earphones are simply not an option.
Very nice sound quality as well. No static or feedback at all.
ByRoberton April 28, 2015 Verified Purchase Like most people, I have a few pairs of headphones so that I have enough to break or lose on occasion. I'm not going to get anything super high end ($50+), the $5 or $10 stuff breaks too easily, and I've also experimented with things like bluetooth headphones (good idea in theory, pain in the butt to remember to charge and connect to your phone). These plug right into the audio jack like normal headphones. These remind me of those old style "walkman" headphones you'd wear vertically with the headband up around your head. These are in the price range I was looking for, and they seem to be VERY lightweight (I'm almost worried about breaking them up they seem to hold up). The sound quality is just fine for playing MP3's or streaming Pandora. I'm sure there are better quality headphones out there but this is just perfect for "walking around" type of headphones. I was actually surprised by the good sound quality from such lightweight headphones.
Finally, the best thing about these is that because they're so lightweight, you get all the sound without it covering up too much of your ears. If you're walking around while listening (like me) you'll be able to hear a car coming or someone walking behind you, which is a plus for me.

By Matthew R.on March 5, 2015Verified PurchaseI had a pair of headphones similar to these, but I lost them and couldn't remember what brand they were to get a new pair. I found these and they looked very similar, so I got a pair. I think they were also slightly cheaper than the other ones, as well. I received them the other day and I actually like them a lot better. The sound quality is better than the ones I had before. They fit well - I had problems with the other ones not fitting right for some reason, but I've had no problems with these. I almost forget they're there after wearing them a while. The sound quality is good, but you can still hear things besides your music, so they're safe to run with. Good quality and good price overall, I've bookmarked them so I can get this kind next time.
ByF. Reedeon February 14, 2015Verified PurchaseI can’t believe I finally found some headphones to replace my W08’s. If you have not owned those or the Sonxtronic XDR-8000 headphones then you may not understand my excitement however give me a moment and allow me to explain it to you. These are simply the best headphones I have ever worn. They are lightweight, slim, give off great sound quality all while resting comfortably in my ear.
I have had no issues with using these earbuds for various activities such as running and playing with my daughter at the park. They actually stay in place. They fit rather securely and I like that the cord is a little longer than my previous earphones so I can put my player in my back pocket, while still in use.
It feel the sounds pretty comparable to my old headphones and quite frankly I feel like they are a bargain. I highly recommend these Sonxtronic XDR-8000 Ultralight Headphones!

P. Connery June 18, 2015 Verified Purchase These headphones are as good as the Sony MDR W08L (discontinued) that my husband and I used for many years. We purchased 3 different types of headsets to find a good replacement. The Sonxtronic Xdr-8000 topped the list! We just re-ordered 2 additional sets as back-ups. We're sticking with the sonxtronic xdr-8000,s
