Ok product but not perfect. by MP3 SIM
It’s being about a month since I got the headphones and until now they still in one piece, but I don’t think they will be for too long. Well they are made out of very cheap material and they feel like they are going to break every time you put them on. The sound is ok but you sill get a lot of static (not good enough for a $[…] headphones). The idea is awesome but they are also too bulky. One good thing about this item, they are super confortable.

Pros:

1.Comfortable

2.ok sound

3.no cords

4.easy to reach Ipod controls

Cons:

1.Not whorth $[…]

2.too bulky

3.cheap contruction

4.It can be a little big for some people(no adjustments)

Overall:

If the price goes down say to $[…] it will be totally awesome deal, and I can’t say that I recommend this Item(if it was cheaper I’ll think about it).

Comfort plus by D. Foster
These headphones are far more comfortable than ear buds.

The convenience of no wires also allows the user to remain active with no problem. Sound quality seems great to me.

LOVE THEM!!!!!! by A. Ashbaugh
Worth. Every. Penny. They’re comfortable! They sound good! They fold up! They accomodate the Shufflesome skin I’ve got on my iPod!! I had no problem relearning the button configuration (The iPod’s upside down like when it’s in its docking port)…and everyone I’ve shown them to thinks they’re ultracool!

Getting great use out of these by MJS
As an audiophile, I had realistic expectations about a wireless gadget under $100, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I bought them for their wireless convenience and for their over-the-ear comfort. After using them for a couple of weeks, here’s what I’ve found:

When I took them out of the box, I thought they felt cheap and flimsy. After a lot of use, a better description would be light and flexible, and for good reason. These are designed to respond minimally to bouncing movement, and they do that quite well.

Even though the over-the-ear position isn’t quite as snug as I’d like, I get good sound quality out of them–far better than expected–with no distortion, hiss, tin, or crackle. Good range (I’ve played all genres on it). Most importantly, they really do stay in place.

iShuffle position requires minimal orientation for control location, so it’s extremely convenient to change songs, volume, mute, etc.

I haven’t been gentle with this thing at all, and it folds easily, tucks away conveniently, and hasn’t shown any signs of what I call “slam fatigue” from my moving-too-fast slams into my bag. If it can take my abuse, it can take almost anyone’s.

My one negative about them is that they are not size or position adjustable. Somehow, they do manage to balance well anyway. I don’t know how, but they do.

Overall, for a mere $40, it’s been a great purchase so far.
