"Use the right rubber things!"

2.5 stars  | on

Pros

You know, I've had these headphones for 6 months and hated them. Turns out, I never had the right rubber things picked out! I have fairly small ears, so I thought the small inserts were for me. Wrong! I had NO bass / all treble. I went back and got the bi

Cons

Took me a while to get the hang of it... Difficult at first to put in, but you get used to doing it! It'll take you 3 or 4 tries at the beginning to get them to fit just right, then you learn how to as you use them more. Not excellent for walking/jogging.

"Best In-Ear Buds Period!"

5 stars  | on by AndyHu

Pros

Natural full-range sound reproduction. Bass is full, rich and natural sounding. 6-23,000 response is hard to beat. The 100 sensitivity is great for humans hearing.

Cons

The cord could be thicker and better able to handle cold temperatures.

Summary

Fit is outstanding. I wear these on the plane and they noise-cancel screaming babies and loud conversations and jet engine noise very well. I bought these over a year ago at Wal-Mart on sale for 29.88 and I see that on-line they can be had for much less now (... Read full review

I bought these over a year ago at Wal-Mart on sale for 29.88 and I see that on-line they can be had for much less now (2/09). These are better than Bose In-Ear and Shure's entry level in-ear earphones. Surprisingly, these are even better sounding than the more expensive SONY MDR-EX75/BLACK (that I also own).

"Overall Good Earphones... poor highs"

3.5 stars  | on by jamorama

Pros

Great Overall Sound Quality
Great Isolation considering the price.
Small, Compact

Cons

The Cord is a little on the thin side.
The highs get a little awkward...

Summary

I got it for 30 bucks, and am pretty happy with these... If I could, though.. I would get a shure =)

EDIT: Because I had small ears, I thought that the smallest one was for me. WRONG. By using the largest size, it makes the sound a lot better and more realistic, although like I said, the highs don't seem that they are there...
