Customer Reviews

Extremely fragile by Johnny GutiÃ©rrez
Although the volume is good and the quality of the sound is quite nice, these earphones will not last you long. I got them with my new classic Ipod and they only lasted 3 months. The cap fell off and the right bud was not making any sounds. There’s many earphones much better out there.

Good clear sound, not noise cancelling by John Christiansen
I like these. I’m not a hardcore audiophile, and I haven’t tried many comparable phones because I don’t really want to pay over $30– Considering what these are going for new in the Amazon Marketplace, they’re great for that price (under $10 +s/h as I write).

I like that they aren’t noise cancelling, which undermines the deep bass you might hope for, but allows you to still be aware of what’s going on around you, which I prefer. The sound is really pretty clear and good. The little rubber sliding piece that holds the two separate wires together above the split is nice– moves easily and stays put. This is a small feature, but it really helps to keep them securely in your ears (even though you may look kind of silly with the wires coming together just a couple of inches under your chin, looking less than super-cool being an obvious problem for many iPod rocking hipsters). I rarely have trouble with them falling out– pretty much only running or doing hard physical work.

I agree with some other posters about durability: the grey rubber strip around the bud head came off in 6 months or so, and the hood on the plug end pulled loose where it overlaps the cable, exposing the inner wires, so I had to tape it, which is kind of lame. That said, I regularly loop the cable up and hook the ends together and stash the buds in my front jeans pocket, unprotected from inner-pocket rubbing, so I would expect some deterioration. Despite my regular beatings, however, the sound is still as good as it was when I got them, almost a year and a half ago. I’m about to buy another pair because they look so haggard, but I am buying another pair rather than getting something else.

Great Product by Richard O. A. Osibanjo
The product arrived in excellent condition and on time. I received what was advertised which was great.

Upgrade your stocks buds! by Joaquin "Jake" Camacho
It’s no secret that these stock iPod buds are lacking in sound quality. I personally advise all iPod owners to upgrade from these as soon as possible.

If you’ve already spent $300 on an mp3 player, upgrade your headphones and your mp3’s will sound infinitely better. I’ll give them credit for improving their stock buds though because their old ones were just absolutely terrible. These aren’t great but, hey, at least they’re more comfortable. Anyway, invest in a better set now. You can get better sound for cheaper than these, trust me.
