In general, a high quality, inexpensive headphone option

I have had a pair of these for 2 years. The sound is EXCELLENT in comparison to the 6 other pairs of headphones I have (50.00-500.00 each) especially at their cost of 20.00 or less. I don't know if the wires would fail if I was moving them around a lot...

Great sound/convenience; back for more despite wire problems

I've tried many headphones and still find these have the best sound. I use them while on the treadmill; this is the only style that stays comfortably inside my ears, delivering awesome sound. I find that the ear-bud style falls out, while headphones...

Great sound quality, but one side stopped working after about 4 weeks.
