Digital camera reviews of Red Sound-Squared "SPORT" Headphone Earbuds Earphones w/ 2 Earhook Sizes and Earphone Case - Great Value!
Digital camera Review: My hero!
Summary: 5 Stars
As any husband soon realizes, marriage is a relentless and patently unfair state of wifely over-expectations, so the potential for banishment to the proverbial doghouse is a constant specter of fear much like the dropping of the Big One during the Cold War. Therefore, scoring the infrequent point or two is both an occasion for a deep sigh of relief and one not to be undervalued.
Now, my wife visits the gym more often than is reasonable. While there, she revs up the elliptical machine like one whose hair is on fire and running towards the nearest water spigot. The resulting image is positively ferocious: arms and legs piston in a blur, the head is thrust forward and jerks side-to-side, the face is set in a grimace of determination last seen on an Ironman triathlete, and the audio leads to the iPod swing wildly as telephone wires in a windy maelstrom. It's positively intimidating. (My imperturbable work-out on the elliptical is regally placid by comparison; I barely break a sweat as I attend to the Cooking Channel on the overhead monitor.)
The point I'm trying to make here concerns the spouse's earphones rendered problematic by the strain. If using foam earbuds, they absorb perspiration that blocks sound. If made of plastic, they fall from her ears causing a break in stride as she shoves them back into place with a few choice words. Thus, when cautiously asked what she wanted for Christmas, she threw down the gauntlet: "Earphones that stay put and don't get blocked with unladylike sweat. Don't screw it up."
Doing an Amazon search, I found several alternatives, all of which had ratings spanning the stellar spectrum of 1 to 5. However, the product listing for the SOUND-SQUARED SPORT EARPHONES, on brief inspection, seemed to attract the fewest whiners relative to the number of completely satisfied users. Therefore, I purchased a pair and placed it, along with the diamond tiara, in the glove box of the luxury, hybrid sedan beribboned and parked under the 50-foot Christmas tree. Well, maybe the last two gifts were part of the wife's wishful thinking; she can't have everything, though I dare not say so.
On December 26th, it was off to the gym. (If the facility was truly dedicated to fitness, it would've been open Christmas Day. What a scam!) While I observed well out of harm's way, the wife jabbed the "on" button of the music player fitted with the new earphones, set the latter in place much like an F-16 pilot dons a helmet, kick-started the elliptical, and took off at her usual demented pace.
Forty-five minutes later, I watched with some unease as she dismounted and strode purposefully with narrowed eyes over to my vantage point on the stair-stepper.
"You know", she pronounced breathlessly, "These are just the ticket. They don't slip off no matter what. And they're comfortable, and I can hear all tones to perfection. My hero! I'll even treat you to one of those revolting double-cheeseburgers."
My relief was almost palpable; life in good grace, however fleeting, was achieved. I'm good for another twenty-four hours, minimum.
Digital camera Review: Not really sized for a female
Summary: 3 Stars
First, the shipping was rocken! Ordered on Thurs and got them 2 days later.
I really loved my Sound-Squared "Juliet" ear phones <3 until they recently stopped working. I would have gotten another pair of those but can't find them. Anyway, the "SPORT" earphones just aren't really working for me. The ear phones don't stay inside my ears and I'm constantly shoving them back in every 60 seconds while I run (although they don't fall off and yes I've tried the different sizes). Without a snug fit, the bass sucks, I can hear people talking around me and I might as well have kept those crappy ones I returned from Target (ok not really).
These may work better with larger ears? I am always looking for sport earphones specifically made for women who have smaller ears so if you know of any that aren't astronomically priced, shoot it my way! I like Sound-Squared tho so I'm giving these 3 stars and checking out the "Bass Star" or "SoundXTC" models.
Wobble! Love the bass.
Digital camera Review: Sport earbuds
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very displeased with this product because it fell apart within 1 week of use. I purchased it as a gift for my daughter who likes to run while listening to her music. She said the earbuds were comfortable and liked the sound quality but she was not please when they were inoperable within 1 week. I wish I had kept the receipt to return these.Digital camera Review: Terrible Product!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was initially excited about buying these headphones since I'm a runner and have yet to find a perfect set. Two major problems: 1) the "buds" would never stay in my ears and 2)the left ear phone stopped working after one week! I have not made an attempt to get my money back but am hoping that it won't be complicated. Based on this experience, I would highly persuade you to STAY AWAY and save your money. The price sounds enticing but it's truly not worth it, unless you just want to waste your time by ordering the headphones and then having to send it back!Digital camera Review: The best Earphone/Earbuds!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like these SOUND brand earphones/earbuds. I purchased others and sent them back. The price is great and they are very comfortable. The sound is excellent too and has nice base. When I am walking on the treadmill or doing any other exercising, they stay put and you hardly know they are there! I had Sony before and these are more comfortable and again, the base is great on them.
You can't go wrong buying these, Price wise and quality, I have found them to be excellant!
