Digital camera Review: A step up without breaking the bank...
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
These earbuds are certainly a step up from the basic white headphones that usually come with an iPod or most basic MP3 players. The difference is they are inserted in the ear, and a silicon guard acts as an earplug to drown out noise around you. It can be an odd feeling when you first get them if you're not used to things in your ear canal. It is called "noise isolating" because frankly you are wearing ear plugs with speakers in them.
The sound is superior mainly because of the bass. It seems these headphones excel at thumping out the lower lines in any track, and you'll truly notice a difference on R&B or dance tracks. I noticed the mid range tones and highs had to be adjusted on my equalizer to get them at the levels I liked. Most of the noise cancelling qualities are provided from the ear plug design, and they do a great job of drowning out sound. Almost too well as I find myself really having to pay attention at the gym when I have these on, or I will miss anyone speaking to me.
The packaging and look of the headphones are slick, and the more adventurous can select from a wide color assortment including mixtures of two tones. All in all the presentation of the product looks great! If you want a cool looking headphone these work.
If you like loud music without much noise from the outside world seeping in these are the earbuds for you! They are well-designed, affordably priced, and come in a myriad of color choices. The only downside is you have to get used to the ear plug feel of them, and be careful to make sure you select the right size for the guard to keep these in place in your ear (small, medium, and large come included with the set). It's a nice product and one most people should enjoy as an upgrade from the ordinairy head phone.
Digital camera Review: A very nice upgrade.
Summary: 5 Stars
These earbuds are a good value for the low price. As mentioned in the instructions they do get better after being used for a few hours so don't be put off at first listen. The included tips fit comfortably and are much more comfortable than you basic bare-bone buds. For my usage they don't pop out of my ear and canceling out most background noise makes them a winner!Digital camera Review: AFTER 6 MONTHS 1 EAR WILL STOP WORKING
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a protective case for my IPOD and earbuds and took very good care of both. For no reason one ear stopped working after about 6 months, and there is no way it can be fixed. I wrote Amazon trying to get a refund or exchange and they simply ARE NOT RESPONDING TO ME. If you buy this item and it has this problem that me and so many others have experienced, there is nothing- absolutely nothing- you can do about it. DO NOT BUY this product is my whole-hearted recommendation.Digital camera Review: About As Good As It Gets
Summary: 3 Stars
These buds are about as good a headphone set as you'll find out there. Good bass, crisp, clean treble. Of course, the only drawback is that they're buds and not true headphones. Calling them "noise cancelling" is definitely an overstatement. That said, though, they deliver exceptionally good sound for what they are.
One nice thing is the design. You can sleep on them without feeling like something is being jammed into your eardrum. Wires seem more flexible and supple than other brands and hopefully they won't wear out or break their connections.
Digital camera Review: About as good as it gets, but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
The $79.95 listed as retail in grossly inflaited as these sell for $27-30 everywhere. They are just OK- I had a $6 Coby pair which were not constructed as well, but honestly the sound was just as good. These do include 3 sets of ear pieceswhich is nice and the overall quality is better the the ultra cheap. It's a decent (far from great) headphone that probably is about $10 too much for what you get. Your paying for the name. Who the hell cares what your headphones look like anyways?
