Amazon.com Product Description
Listen to your iPod shuffle without the burden of cumbersome cables with the Monster iFreePlay cordless headphones. Boasting an exclusive iDock port that securely holds your iPod shuffle in one of the earpieces while you listen, the iFreePlay phones do away with cords completely, so you don't have to worry about tangles and snags while walking or jogging. In addition, the phones offer easy access to all the shuffle controls, making it a breeze to play, pause, or skip songs without fumbling through your bag or pocket. It's the perfect companion when you're on the trail, on the track, or at the gym. Of course, cordless freedom doesn't mean much without a high-quality audio performance, and the iFreePlay phones excel in this arena as well, with a max power rating of 20 mW and a sensitivity of 110 dB/mW. Best of all for joggers or weightlifters, the comfortable wraparound design completely eliminates the need for a belt clip, restrictive armband, or pocket. Just put the phones around your ears and go. Offering excellent sound in a compact, foldable design, the iFreePlay lets you enjoy all your music with no strings attached. The headphones, which weigh a mere 1.6 ounces without the iPod shuffle inserted, are backed by a 90-day warranty. What's in the Box

Great solution September 30, 2008
Mel Mar (Chicago, IL USA)
These are great. I have small ears, and have a hard time keeping earbuds in when I work out. My shuffle clips right to these, so they stay on without any cords to get in the way. The only problem is that they are not adjustable, so they're a little big - but they sit right above my ponytail and stay put pretty well.
 Great September 3, 2008

These headphones are wonderful. After trying several different types, these are my favorite for the Shuffle. The sound quality is great and they stay in place, even when running a 5K.
 Not for average to small heads August 28, 2008

I purchased these today and couldn't wait to take them out of the box. Here it is an hour later and they're packed up ready to go back for a refund. Like many I agree that the idea behind these is awesome! I love my shuffle but the cords can be annoying. I've put off buying these due to the $50 pricetag but finally caved after I received some gift cards.
As some have stated, they are extremely flimsy which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, due to the size of my head (or ears one), once I put them on, the bulk of the actual earphones (aka, the greatest sound producing section) rested just below the ear canal more one the lobe. This meant much of the sound escaped and was lost so it was not as enjoyable as in-ear phone or earphones that rest right on the ear canal. I tried to compensate by kicking the volume up A LOT but with the phones being below the canal the sound was just too poor. When I used my hands and raised the phones so that they rested right where they should be, the sound was better but still pretty cheap for what you spend on them. They also started to give me a headache after just two minutes due to the pressure points that the plastic arches hit behind my ears.
All in all, the sound quality isn't that great even when placed correctly and the lack of size adjustments make this a gamble for anyone with a noggin like mine. Maybe this style just isn't for me, but I suggest that if possible, go to a store and beg them to let you "try before you buy."
 Great idea, but room for improvement August 27, 2008
Pinhead (Wisconsin)
Love the idea of the wireless shuffle headphones! Earbuds don't stay in my ears, and other headphone cords tend to be too long for easy portability. These cordless headphones were great for walking/running/lawn mowing activities for about a month, but then the center hinge broke, rendering them useless. As others have commented, they felt too big for my (female) head and there was no way to adjust the size--they never fell off, but felt like they could.
Wait for a sturdier, cheaper, adjustable model.
iPOD Shuffle Headphones, too big for many.. August 13, 2008
K. Sweeney (Wisconsin)
Bought these headphones to use while running with my ipod shuffle. They work just fine but are quite large. That is, if you have big head (physically) they are probably great. I have an average sized (female) head and they are too big. I was really hoping they would work but the smallest setting was still too big. The sound was fine so I don't want to be too negative about them, just know that they are really made for adult men.
