"Excellent (with one small caveat)"
Pros: Awesome sound and isolation
Cons: Can get a little uncomfortable
Summary: I've had these for about a year and I mostly use them on my Ipod in the gym and occaisonally on airplane trips. Now you may thing that they are expensive for gym use but its important to me to be able to isolate myself in a musical environment without having to suffer hearing loss (the gym I attend had dreadful techno music playing loudly all the time). These fit the bill perfectly and the fit is snug enough that I can pretty much do anything without worring about displacing them. I have noise reduction headphones for plane travel but I use these more because they provide better noise reduction when listening to audio (I use the headphones when I want to sleep).
My only caveat would be that they can get a little uncomfortable if you wear them for long periods (+2 hours) but I find the same is true with normal earphones.
One other warning - they are very efficent so you don't need the volume up as high as normal earphone or headphones so make sure that you turn the volume down before you put them in your ears.
