Consumer review (newegg.com)

Good isolation, not for all MP3 players

 

Once they're in my ears, the outside world is quieter which is a good thing ; They fit comfortably in my ears ; Volume is good ; They work on my iPhone 4S ; The cord is long

They don't work on Creative Stone player, with the plug completely plugged. It'd need to be plugged halfway or so ; The remote doesn't work as well as the Apple remote ; The remote is too high up on the left side, having it lower would mean that I...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

I think they sound great.

 

I think these sound very clear and crisp. I don't like it when earbuds have too much low bass, it hurts my ears. I don't hear any static

If the buds dont fit your ear you are out of luck. It only came with the one size

Not worth more than few dollars

 

For the money these are a great trashy pair of earbuds to use for movies, youtube, pop music, phone calls, etc. where sound quality isn't a big deal. The built in controls don't work with other mp3 players (at least none that I own) but would probably...

Cost. Have seen these for for a few dollars after rebate ; playback controls, volume control, mic all built in. Decent cord length

Sound quality is very poor. If you are looking for a decent pair of earbuds for music these are definitely not them

Terrible sound

 

I primarily use my Ultimate Ears Superfi5pros for my computer. I use Monster Lil Jamz for everything else where I don't care about the cables breaking. I wanted these for jogging or workouts but they cannot even serve those functions. I'm not...

Free

I don't like to use hyperboles...but these are the worst pair of earbuds I have listened to ; The seal on the tips are fine...but the volume is around 60% lower than other earbuds. The integrated speakers on my kindle are louder and clearer at the same...

Bad quality

 

I have own these twice, The first it last me over a year...the second time they only last me 2 months. The right side doesn't work as of this morning. A little pricey for the quality.

cheapest construction I've seen in awhile

 

owned less than a month, the glue that held the circuit board to the speaker driver after less than a month came loose. the cord gets stiff as soon as it gets cold out inflexible unwilling to move and all the construction on it is very shoddy I would...

decent sound

poor construction cheap materials
