comfortable and cheap

Forget about great sound with these, but it is adequate...the package said something about bass enhancement or such, but forget it. I've had others that had better bass. However, these are the most comfortable phones I've ever used, and I can sometimes...

Work - Outs R- A-breeze

I just got these phones today for my mp3 player during workouts. They work great and stayed in place with a snug fit throughout my workout. The Bass and treble were perfect. So if your looking for headphones for the gym that won't slip off on the...

Sounds like listening through a tin can and string!!

Actually, I take that back; it sounds 1000 times worse than listening through a tin can and string. NO BASS WHATSOEVER. The only thing they have going for them is the look. I have to admit they look pretty sharp, so 1 star for that. Other than that,...
