Customer Reviews

Great Buy by K. J. Gaffney
I got these for christmas. I’ve been using them ever since. The sound quality is amazing. They are far better than anyother earbuds ive used in the past and even surpass the quality of my Sony MDR-V600 Studio Monitor headphones. I had a problem with the 1/8th plug to chord connection and they needed to be replaced. The customer service was absolutely amazing. I just got my new pair about a week later. I was so impressed by the product and the companies customer service that I had to recommend them!

Nice sound, bad durability by David Moore
Overall I like these earbuds a lot. They do have a very strong bass bias, so if that is what you are looking for great, if that bothers you then you should definitely look elsewhere. Any of the preset equalizers with heavy bass on my MP3 player are basically unusable with these earbuds because it will drown out the other ranges. But a flat or treble-biased equalizer sounds great because the bass is still available, along with rich mids and clear treble. The range on these earbuds is also noticeably larger, especially on the low end, than other headphones I’ve used.

These are great earbuds if you want to listen to music in a loud environment, such as a crowded office, bus, or even airplane, without having to crank up the volume. Because of the seal these make in your ear canal they block out most environment background noise so all you hear is the music. These work so well that I actually play tracks at about half the volume as I did with regular earbuds, and as a result I’ve even noticed improvement in the battery life of my MP3 player.

The only fault I’ve had with these is that about 8-9 months after purchasing these the sound in the left earbud started to cut out. The problem was the wire connecting to that earbud seemed to be slipping loose and cutting off the sound. Luckily I was within the 1-year warranty and they shipped me another pair, but I was distressed that such an expensive pair of headphones would go out after several months. The problem is likely in the design: since the metalic earbuds fit within your ears there is natural tendency to pull them out by the base of the wires when removing them from the ear. This probably loosened the mount over several months and resulting in it wearing out. So if you get these definitely pull them out by the bud itself, not the wire.

Pros:

* good rich sound if you don’t mind the bass

* stylish, catchy colors (I have the metalic red), goes well with ipods if you are sick of white wires

* wires are less prone to tangling

* great blocking of environmental noise, especially in noisy environments. benefits of noise canceling headphones with the batteries or the bulk.

Cons:

* Several reviews note having to return them to fix problems with the wires.

Style and looks are what you get. When the wires move against your shirt, etc you get some feedback. Sound is what I purchased these for but I think they are overpriced.

Very good earbuds by A. Louise
Bought these several weeks ago. My wife already owned a pair and really liked them. I’ve used them while mowing the lawn and on several airline trips. They provide excellent sound, picking up subtle instrumentations, and while not totally silencing external sounds, they are very effective in doing so. They also fit comfortably in my ears. Good purchase and very good price through Amazon.
