You made me ink!

When it comes to writing about something as simple as an ink cartridge, it can be a difficult thing, but I'll give it a shot because, quite frankly, HP ink cartridges are the best I've used.The ease of ...

Faster, easier and cleaner to install. Cheaper in the long run

Higher short-term price tag

Outstanding for the price

Just got these yesterday, and absolutely love the sound. So far they're comfortable, and the sound range is great, including excellent bass for the size and cost. I haven't had a chance to test out the noise isolation feature yet (I've only used them...

worth it's money!

I was just curious how the noise cancelling ear plugs would work, but of course didn't want to spend a huge amount of money because of it. I was surprised what I got for the little money I DID spend. I tend to use them while I'm at work to blur out all...

Excellent!

I like this product enough to give it my first review. These are the best earphones I've ever had in this format. The design is light and blocks a lot of sounds. It has a great loudness to them with great deep base mid tones and Highs. The cord is...

Great Product

The earphones not only block out outside noise, but they also deliver great sound quality. The buds stay in your ear comfortably, and for the money it's the best I've used so far.

Genius HP-02 Live 3.5mm Connector Canal Noise-isolation headphones with enhanced bass

The sound quality is really good and there's a noticible difference from ear buds. You can't hear ANYTHING with these things on and you're totally emersed. Though it can be a bad thing if someone is calling you. It also comes with three different sizes...

It takes some time getting used to how it feels in your ears. It fills your canal fully and it takes a bit of time to get used to it

Great for cheap!

Great sound, great bass, great product. 3 different sets of rubber pads for the right fit in the ear canal

Sometimes the rubber pads come off too easily, but I have small ear canals

Don't Waste Your Time...

Wished I would have spent more and got good ones. Geesh, how many times have I said that in my life. Maybe someday I'll learn.

Comes with three sets of in-ear fittings and they work/fit great. That is the ONLY pro

Sound terrible. Out of the 5 or so pairs of ear-buds I have including the pair that came free with the Sansa Clip I bought along with this, these are the worst sounding. No noise cancelling, no bass enhancement; in fact, the horrible bass quality is...
