Consumer review by: Dave (radioshack.com)

Good sound, poor durability

Great sound, but just like the other reviewers the left earbud went out within six months of use.

Comfortable, Great Sound, Stylish

Does not hold up long, Poor Value, Uncomfortable

Will not buy again

I have had these earbuds for 5 months. The first thing I didn't like was that you could hear a lot of noise interference through the wires. Then, last week the speaker in the left earbud blew. I've had cheap $10 earbuds that lasted longer than these.

gypped

Can drown out unwanted noises

expect it to break down right after it passes the warranty date. Customer service reps do not help at all

Good Sound for good price

Other then the poor cable management and design of the wires i really like the sound and look of these headphones. I still feel i got a good bang for my buck... unless of course they break in the near future.

These are the best sounding headphones i've ever owned. I was using the earbuds that came with my ipod for quite sometime, and switching over to these was a great sounding experience. They cut out alot of the noise around you, so you can wear them on...

I took off an egg because of the design of the wiring. The right strand is longer then the left, and it is supposed to be worn around the back of your neck, so that they hang over your chest if you take them out. This is a cool idea in principle, but...

Bad sound, bad fit.

Cheap and light

The ear-canal piece is too short to properly go into the ear canal. The sound has way too much bass, so music is not sharp and clear

Good/bad

I liked these so much that I bought another pair; however, after a mere 6 months the right side stopped working. I treated these headphones very nicely, so I'm not sure why.

Unfortunately Not a Fan

I was impressed reading that the Frequency Response of these headphones is 6Hz-23KHz, quite a high range. Unfortunately the sound, despite messing with an equalizer failed to be full or rich, but rather sounded like small tinny speakers with little...

Small is Still Too Big ; Tinny Sound

SONY MDRE-X56LP/BLK 3.5mm Gold-Plated Connector Canal Black Premium Headphone

-If you're going to get these headphones, make sure you treat them well!! By treating them well, I mean by not letting people yank these out of your ears otherwise you'll have the same problem I got.

Nice trebs, good quality ; Decent amount of bass ; Have a nice rubbery skin on them

The rubbery skin fell off after about 3 months of use because it seemed like they werent glued on properly ; The left earbud is silent now because of the constant yanking from the ears (although this is mostly my fault for letting people yank them out...
