3rd pair! Go nowhere without them!

 

I bought 2 pair from Target. Each pair lasted years! Target doesn't sell them now, so I refused to buy the junk on the market at the same price. I came here looking for them. I'm soooo happy to find them! Well worth the money! Love, love, love these...

Lightweight, portable, great sound

Best headphones I ever bought

 

I bought these headphones about two years ago. Unlike earbuds they don't break after a couple of months, mine are still going strong. The audio quality is decent, for its size and price it's superb. They are really cool with the retractable cord, which...

Decent sound quality, incredibly compact, really cool, very durable

They can pinch or make your ears sore after extended use

Perfect for order

 

I LOVE these! They reel in quickly and neatly, no more untangling knots and cords. They may be a little bit more than your typical headphones, but they make up for it in time saved at the gym.

Convenient and won’t hurt your ears…

 

Convenient and won’t hurt your ears… These retractable headphones are awesome because there is no cable mess to deal with. Just push a button and you can have the perfect length…very easy to carry in pockets. I like this style over the earbuds...

very conveient

can't think of any

Just Okay

 

Nice idea. The execution left me cold though.

For the same price, just get a proper pair of open-ear headphones

With everything retracted the thin multi-conductor wire connecting the two halves can undergo quite a lot of stress if in a pocket or backpack ; Sound quality is only mediocre ; Seating on the ear is only moderately secure

Great Headphones

 

I bought these headphones a year ago for my i pod nano. One of things that I hated about my ipod was the volume was not loud enough with the standard ear buds. A couple of days ago I hooked these headphones up and all I can say is WOW! The volume is...

Great sound, high volume, stays on your ear without coming off. Good price

none

great piece

 

Good sound, and normally it can be hard for me to find good headphones that can actually fit my small ears. Of course this great design allows just about anyone to wear them comfortably. Retractable cords make them easier to transport

Very thin cords suggest weakness to kinks and inner cord breaks

Gets the job done

 

Cords could be longer as some others have stated, but then again that's mostly because I'm used to the coil cord of my HD280.

Bought these for my GF to use with her Zune. They're small, lightweight, and seem to work just fine for her needs

None really for this price

Decent

 

They were good headphones until the left side blew, the speaker just stopped producing some sounds and was soft than the other. They still worked but the sound difference was too bothersome for me.

Retractable Cords, nice sound, loud

after a week of use the left ear speaker blew out randomly

I Love these things

 

First off, Over the ear headphones are the best way to go and if you wanna shove em into your pocket eventually, these are the best headphones i've found. I've ran through 2 pairs of these already in about a year but i admit i didnt take care of them...

Surprisingly good sound. Lots of volume, good bass, good for most types of music. I know firsthand its good for all types of rock, hip hop, and techno so it will fit most users needs. It's lightweight and the fit for the most part is great) Doesn't...

If you wear them for about 3 or more hours at a time, itll start to make your ear sore but its not majorly painful. The rubber on the clip of the headphone will start to come off with normal wear and tear. The cord has a habit of shorting easily...
