The good: The Coosh Headset offers a lightweight design that fits securely; an integrated mic allows for receiving calls while listening to a music phone.

The bad: The Coosh Headset isn't comfortable for extended wear, and overall audio quality is average.

The bottom line: If you're looking for a cost-effective solution that let's you make the most out of your music phone in active situations, the Coosh Headset gets the job done; just don't expect great sound quality.

Coosh Headset

There is such a thing as too much multitasking, but we understand the urge to make the most out of your gadgets. Listening to music and taking calls while working out is just one of many possible combinations. For that, you need a music phone and an active-style headset with an inline mic and a secure fit. The $30 Coosh Headset fulfills that last requirement nicely, although it's neither the most comfortable nor the best-sounding set of earphones we've come across. Still, it gets the job done at a fair price.

The Coosh Headset offers a unique design that allows for a secure fit during most activities (we don't recommend swimming with them, though). Attached to the two standard, plastic earbuds are two rubbery loops that fasten around the outer ear. The loops are not adjustable, but the flexible, sticky coating makes it easy to achieve a secure fit. They're also extremely lightweight, which no doubt helps them stay in place. However, the earbuds themselves aren't terribly comfortable after about an hour of wear.
