  • "I don't recommend these buds. They won't stay put."
    1.0 stars

    Pros: Sound quality

    Cons: Won't stay in place
    Buds easily unseal
    Questionable eye appeal

    Summary: I got these when my Plantronics BB 990+ set broke. Sadly the 990s were discontinued. When the buds are "sealed" in place the sound is better than the BB 990+, but it's usually short lived (don't move your head). From a looks standpoint, when I got these I went from looking like secret agent man to the old man librarian (I wear glasses). I guess from another perspective I don't look like I'm wearing hearing aids with them in (not that there's anything wrong with that). Anyway, the bottom line is that for some reason the buds won't stay in my ears. No smaller buds were provided. So I end up fidgeting with them constantly. They're no good for working out. I'd say driving is more dangerous with sealed ear buds, too, because you can't hear other things around as well. Most of the time I just miss my 990s. That's my two cents.

    Driving with a device in both ears is illegal for exactly the reason you state.

    @Jeff, driving while wearing ANY headphones is not only dangerous, it's illegal.
