Best earbuds for price

 

I have had these earbuds for almost 4 years and they still work great. I love the design with the cord how it's flat. Sound is awesome. Before I got these I would get a pair of skullcandys and they would never last or they would sound like crap....

Great In Ear Headphones

 

If you are looking for earbuds with great bass, these are the best headphones you will ever get for the money. I had these a couple years ago and lost them. Since, then I went through the newer version from sony and a couple pairs from klipsch per...

One side stopped working.

 

I had these earbuds less than a year and I lost sound in one side. I figured the flat tangle free cord would help to alleviate the possibility of this happening but unfortunately it did not. I made sure not to wrap or bend the cord excessively, but...

Fantastic and Indestructible

Durable and ok sound

 

So i have had these headphones for a while, they are some of the most durable headphones i have ever had, they went through the washer and dryer TWICE! and still work great (but they do smell like lavender ;) .... ) They live up to their name EXTRA...

Really good earbuds.

 

I've had these earbuds for 2 1/2 years, and they are still working great after regular every day use. IMHO, I like the flat type cord and don't mind the large size of the buds themselves, because the rubber inserts hold them in place. The base is more...
