Nice and cheap.

I like how they fit in my ears, and the sound for the price is fine. A decent pair of cheap earbuds. I dislike the cord design/style, I wish it were symmetrical and a single tube style wire covering.

The price is what made me buy these. I just wanted a cheap replacement of the default ipod buds that fit in the canal. I'm no audiophile, but the sound seems to be better than the default ipod buds. They are very comfortable in the canal, the 3 sizes...

The cord drives me nuts. I assumed the cord would be symmetrical and seamless like most modern ones. The right earbud has an extra long extension from where the cord spilts(1.5 to 2 feet), while the left is much shorter (~5 inches). I put it behind my...

Amazing sound quality

Lets just get the cons out the way: The cord length is approximately 4.9 ft (says so on the packaging). In my opinion that is too long for me and having actually droped my ipod because the cord got caught on an arm of a chair. I have to coil the bottom...

not bad at all

Not too bad so far. Unequal length cords leading to ear buds (Ones that came with my old Sony player were the same).If you put the long cord behind your neck it is fine, but leaving it dangling in front is not good - it catches on things. Cheap at...

3 different earbud sizes, very light & can't feel them pressing in your ears.Good

Unequal cord lengths, soft bass - heard worse though

Stick 'em in your ear

I bought these as a replacement for the painful stock earbuds that came with my Creative Zen Micro. I picked these over the others because of the wide frequency response, the in-ear design, the 3 different sized inserts for a good chance of fitting me,...

good fit good sound good price

unusual unequal length wire design possibly fragile

Great for the price.

I'm a musician, after my shure e2c's died, I was like crazy looking for other In-ear phones, and I said $25 why not? So I gave them a try and they were quite nice for the price, but with those sleeves that come with them you missed a lot of bass and...

I agree with the previous poster about losing things

I bought these earbuds because I didn't like the ones that came with my Ipod. These are great - once you find the right fit with the rubber earbuds. It took me some time to figure out what set (or combo of sets) I liked best. The sound is great - I...

A total thumbs up... if you don't lose things really easily.

I bought a pair of these JVC earbuds around last Christmas, and they were the best pair of headphones I'd ever had. They had a great sound; were very comfortable; and actually stayed in my ears (which is always a plus), unlike the Apple headphones....
