Uncomfortable October 30, 2008 Luna I bought this product today, almost instantly disliked it. br / br /My main issue with these earbuds is that they are initially uncomfortable. The sound is not the best it could be, and unless you put the earbuds deep into your ear they will fall out. I had to take them out after about 20 minutes the first time I wore them. After a while you may become more accustomed to them, I found they are best used while riding the metro as they block out most noise. br / br /It's an affordable and good looking product, but other than that I would invest in a different style.
Um..Wowzers. September 17, 2008 tiffany (*the planet Zorbitz*) I got my mp3 player this past Christmas, and hated the ear buds that came with it right away. That was ok, they shorted out rather quickly. I replaced the original ones with iLuv pink ear buds/headphones. Those died this past week. The size of the actual ear pieces is what's important for me, as I'd gotten so used to the ILuv pair, and they never made my ears sore..I tend to listen to music for hours at a time, but wanted to try something a little less sporty. Today, my mom was out shopping and decided on this pair for me at Target. I'll be honest, the packaging was a little too urban for me, but I thought I'd try this pair our before sending them back. The sound was so disorienting that I had to lay on the floor for a full fifteen minutes. It was as though I was in a club, listening to the music live. It's absolutely amazing - I'm rediscovering my favorite music tonight. Some songs came through so clear that it brings tears to my eyes. WOW. Skullcandy gets my vote! I don't think I'll ever buy another brand now! :)
Rock August 19, 2008 Kelly D. Hartley Awesome sound for $10. They rival $80 i-earbuds. Get them at Ross for under $10.00. Bass is amazing. Left, right, what's the difference?
Very good! July 23, 2008 Jared P. Woodall III I absalutely love this product! You can find extremely bad ones for around the same price. The bass in most songs turn out very well for the price of the ear phones, and the colors are to die for! I haven't found any problems with mine! It's a LOT cheaper to find them at a Marshalls, Ross, TJ Max, etc. I currently have the speaker ear phones [which were only $20 at marshalls, compared to $60 on here] the ear buds in blue. br / br /Very good quality!
cute but annoying June 10, 2008 Katrina O'clock (MD, USA) 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
1) There is no labeling for which side is left or right. The wire design is symmetrical as well, so no hints there. br / br /2) Moving the wires creates oddly amplified noise in the earbuds because of the design. I can get used to it after a while but it's annoying. br / br /3) Sound quality is poor regardless of the claim on the packaging. Cheaper Mp3 players have trouble with bass, sure, but with these earbuds it's even worse. br / br /4) Sticking the buds all the way into the ear canal is what you need to do for the best sound (which is a relative concept considering #3), and some may find this uncomfortable. br / br /Conclusion: I find it frustrating that they marketed this product at all with so many design flaws. I'm returning mine to Target when I have the chance.
