A good idea, but with some frustrating points. These headphones contain an MP3 player in one earphone and a battery in the other. A nice neat idea, so I brought a pair. The first problem came when I tried to unwrap them. The cord was folded so tightly on the card packaging that the cloth 'sock' over the wire between the headphones frayed. I couldn't straighten the wire without cutting the sock. The earphones are also ultra wide giving you a "wing nuts" appearance. The buttons are fiddly and the player does not seem to continue where I left off when I restart, but to start about 20 minutes in the past, a bore if you are listening to talks on the MP3 player. Having accidently pressed the "mode" button on the earphone I do not know what settings the thing is at. Can't find an instruction manual on the internet. So a bit disappointing really. But the quality of the music is first rate. They are really great things to wear in the bath or the shower. I don't like the sight of things dangling in front of me when I'm having a shower.
