Digital camera reviews of Red Sound-Squared "SPORT" Headphone Earbuds Earphones w/ 2 Earhook Sizes and Earphone Case - Great Value!
Digital camera Review: Didn't stand up to my workout abuse
Summary: 3 Stars
I've tried and killed dozens of head phones. I go running or skating daily, hit weights 4 days a week, and use
around the yard, etc. I abuse them quite a bit through sweat, stuffing in my pocket, getting tangled, getting caught on stuff and yanked out of my ears or player.
A couple things went wrong with these.
1) I noticed right away that the bass seemed heavier in the left ear piece. I know that a nice equal fit is needed for proper bass, but I don't think that was the issue. There's bass ports on the back of the ear phones and if you cover them with your finger you can notice a difference in bass and mids. If I cover the one with weak base (right), I notice very little difference and when I cover the left one there's a definite drop in base quality -- pretty much matching the right ears normal bass level. So it seems like there's something wrong with the driver/port in the right ear piece.
2) After a few weeks I discovered that the little disc of black fibrous paper that's glued over the
sound tube hole was coming off. This tube gets further covered by the the interchangeable rubber ear pieces, but leaving
the paper off would open the tube to wax or hair getting inside. So I just used a tiny bit of super glue around the rim of the cover to adhere it back in place and it held up fine for the next couple months.
3) The plug end started shorting out. This is probably due to me occasionally snagging the wires on things and yanking the plug. I've had many head phone plugs go out on me, but some other brands have stood the test of time as well. I actually soldered on a new plug from an older pair.
4) One of the behind the ear plastic pieces started falling apart, the sharp metal inside started cut through the plastic sheath and started poking right out of it and into the side my ear. Again probably due to my abuse. So I took off the behind the ear piece and they actually stay in my ear fairly well still.
I would like to recommend these to people who don't abuse them as much as me but the fact that I noticed
a bass difference in the right ear from day 1 makes me hesitant to suggest them.
Digital camera Review: Earphones that stay in your ears and are backed by excellent customer service
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a pair as I read that these earphones stay in ears, and yes they do! In addition, when mine broke by accident, they replaced them free. I was so happy with the product and their customer service that I bought another pair for my husband. He is happy as they stay in his ears and have good sound. I've never written a review before, but I had to write this one as we are truly happy customers.Digital camera Review: Good product.
Summary: 4 Stars
Product does what said it would do.
The buds stay in place and they sound good. Just what I was looking for.
Digital camera Review: Good, not Great
Summary: 4 Stars
From all the other reviews, i thought i was getting the sound of $50 headphones for half the price. but they do not sound like $50 headphones, they sound like $25 headphones. I got what i paid for, but the other reviewers gave me false hopes that they would perform better than a typical $25 pair.
the bass is slightly better than average.
the hooks do a good job of keeping them in place while working out.
Digital camera Review: I LOVE these little guys
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first review I've ever written. I felt compelled to tell others what I think about these earbuds. I have tried several different kinds in the past but have always had to go back to bulky head phones because I couldn't find any to fit my tiny ear canals. These fit perfect and stay on while exercising, gardening, sleeping, whatever. I'm sold!!!
