Shipping amazing

I have yet to try the headphones theyre a present but when they get used I will update. However I wanted to stress how AMAZING the shipping was with JR. I think it came within 2 days and there was no shipping cost. I could\'t believe it. It was...

I think I found THE workout headphones!

I use these to workout after my previous, supposedly "sweat proof", pair fizzled out. So far I\'ve used the Sennheisers about 4 times and am pleased. Much better sound quality than any other workout headphones I\'ve ever had, and they stay put well...

Consumer review by: Farkomeister (newegg.com)

Good Sound, Bad Cable

The cord developed a break that caused the sound to go out in one ear, and then in both. Lasted only for a few months with moderate use.

Great sound, long cable, volume control, divisible cable, nice pouch, stylish

Durability, cable keeps getting split up

Tinny sounding

Don't waste your money.

Comfortable fit. Great cord management. Nice packaging

Though you cant compare ear buds to over the ear headphones as far as sound quality goes... I was expexting something that sounded better than the stock headphones that came with my iPod... These are very tinny with very little bass and not a very full...

Sound great, fit takes work

I'm not giving up on these! I'm sticking with 4-stars for sound and build quality and I'm going to keep up with adjusting until they fit right, you need to really sit down and just keep testing and testing until they fit your ears right, bending,...

The sounds quality is very good when they're fit correctly in your ears, build quality seems very high, like the yellow cord

It is TOUGH to get these to fit right. I really though these over-the-ear type would crab on and stay, but it's not the case out of the box. The part of the arm nearest to the ear bud itself is adjustable (you bend it, it stays where you bent it) but...

Painful to wear, painful to listen to

I bought these Headphones for running and had very high expectations. When I first got them out of the box I was impressed with what I saw, however this didn't last long. When i first wore them I found they just would't stay on, once I bent the ear...
