2 out of 5 stars Great Sound, bad wiring   November 28, 2008
I bought these for myself in June. I found them to be great, noise cancelling, decent range of bass and treble. BUT, after 5 weeks, I lost one channel when the wiring went bad at the jack end. The stiff piece meant to protect the wiring was so inflexible that it ended up pulling the connection loose at the jack. The cost to return and service was ridiculous, when you can just replace them for less. Too bad.


2 out of 5 stars Good - while they lasted   November 28, 2008

I was happy with these. I mainly use them for listening to audio books and podcasts on the bus so they were great for blocking out excessive noise. (They weren't sufficient to help when mowing the lawn.) I can't comment so much on the sound quality for music. However, the internal wiring must be cheap because after two months of use, the sound to one of the buds cuts in and out. I would suggest spending more money to get something of higher quality.



2 out of 5 stars Cord breaks at plug end   November 27, 2008
These headphones worked well for me for a few months of occasional use - comfortable, lightweight, decent sound performance. I thought I had done well in the hours of research that went into choosing this inexpensive model.

However, yesterday the sound became crackly, and I realized they were broken. There is a weak point in the design: the place where the cable meets the audio plug can take a lot of abuse simply by being in your pocket. The cable is very fragile, and with all the twisting and bending it eventually [rather quickly] wears out and breaks. They're now unusable.

The headphones would be wonderful if they were engineered with a right-angle 3.5mm plug, so the cable itself wouldn't be absorbing all the shock against the plug.

For most users, I'd avoid this model. Advice: always buy headphones with a right-angle plug. See here for example (though I've never used these):

2 out of 5 stars Inexpensive, you get what you pay for   November 27, 2008

I guess I should have realized that when it said "noise reducing" and not "noise canceling" it really means they do neither. The "noise reducing" part of these head phones is the rubber shield, although I have a hunch it works better to keep the ear buds in your ear than it does to actually reduce any noise. You cannot compare these on the same day as any actual noise canceling head phones. They work, adequately, but if you want top notch sound and noise cancellation, look for something with active noise cancellation.


4 out of 5 stars Comfy and good sound   November 26, 2008
I have small ears and all the other earbuds I have tried were very uncomfortable and painful- these are great, I could wear them all day. Plus the sound is quite good. I like that I can keep the volume low and still get good sound.
