Customer Reviews:
- THEY SUCK: WORKED GREAT FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR SO... THEN ONE GAVE OUT... NOT HAPPY WITH PRODUCT....
- Good but 1 complaint-: The sound is great. Great bass. The buds block out a lot of ambient noise. The instructions don't tell you that one side is much longer than the other so it can go around your neck. I bought two a month ago and the wires have not YET turned to putty. Complaint: the silicone buds come off very easily and I lost two within the first two weeks. Once you find the size that fits you, I suggest you super-glue the silicone buds on.
- Great Sound.: After only 4 weeks of having these, the left ear just stopped working.
I do tend to switch them from my computer to mp3 player daily, so I'm hoping it was just some sort of fluke from the repeated unplugging and such.
The sound is the best I've heard from a headphone this small, so I'm willing to give them another go. :) - Revise to Earlier Review: Previously I had rated these on the great sound. But having had two pairs of these go bad in one ear or the other in as many years, I am forced to reduce the star rating. These just are not made to last very long and I was very careful with the 2nd pair after the first ones bugged out. This applies to the black ones, I would imagine the white ones are similar. I will not be replacing them with another of the same.
- Extremely good quality for the price: I bought these with my iPod Classic when it came out, to replace apple's cheapo little white headphones.
I find that the range of sound is simply staggering; I can hear the deep bass in my drum-n-bass techno, and the highest of violins in my classical.
These are highly recommended, especially if you are on a budget. At the least, check out some of the more serious reviews from audiophiles; those are what sold me. These are apparently comparable to much more expensive headphones.
