Customer Review: Great for running - case is useless
Summary: 4 Stars
Had these for a couple of days and have to say that these are ideal for running. They fit my ears perfectly and the twist design works perfect. They are snug but not too tight and absolutely do not move whatsoever. The price was excellent ($17 I think) and shipment fine as always.
Two cons: 1) The input is L shaped and might interfere with some of the buttons on your MP3 - in my case it slightly covered the volume button and had to be moved in order to adjust. Not a big deal though. 2) The case is useless - they came shipped in the case and were carefully wrapped and the cord tied with twists. Now that I got them out I cannot get them back in. If anyone has figured out how to do it please let me know.
Overall, good sounding earphones and recommend them.
Customer Review: Pretty happy with these suckers - but not for you if you need noise reduction!
Summary: 5 Stars
These things are great... when I saw them I thought they pop into your ear like most earphones do, but they don't... that top tiny round part kind of pushes into the upper cove of your ear (you keep twisting til it comfortably fits). This keeps the earphone from shifting or anything, but then you get away from that awful feeling of pushing something INTO your ear (which is nice!).
It's perfect for me, because I bought them for work, where I still want to be able to hear what's goin on around me a bit. However if you're tryin to block the world out, you'll have to turn the volume up a bit. That's not to say they don't block outside noise, they do - just not like noise reduction headphones (which I used to use at work and got tired of because I couldn't hear ANYTHING around me).
Customer Review: Good sound, cheap construction
Summary: 2 Stars
These are made by Sennheiser, so expect great sound quality, especially for in-ear buds.
However, where these lack is in construction. There are so many little parts to these headphones that you invariably lose pieces. The rubber on the ear phones are customizable so they fit to your ear. They also fall out and get lost easily; currently, I have two differing sizes between the two ears because I've lost the right sized ones. The little plastic extrusion that juts off the top also has a rubber piece that is easily lost.
Bottom line, these headphones are probably great if you never move them (say, only use at desk). But if you're like me an work out with them, use them for commute, there is little doubt that the headphone you have in two months won't be the one you have today.
Customer Review: For the price, utterly useless.
Summary: 2 Stars
Sound quality is decent enough. Bass production is pretty much non-existent. My main gripe with the pair, however, is the fact that they are all too fragile. They saw very light use from me and even despite that they started falling apart very soon after purchase. The ear pieces have many components that are removable, and that is the problem. They are not secured well enough. They are constantly falling out. I own a wireless Sennheiser headset that I couldn't praise enough. But the pair in question is of very shoddy quality. I can't remember how much I paid for the pair, but if the current price is of any indication, I thoroughly got ripped off. They sound like a $10 pair and are of the quality of a $5 pair. I'd suggest buying them only when they fall to that price.Customer Review: an example of positive produce development
Summary: 4 Stars
i used to have them. if you don't use the case it is really easy for the wires to get tangled and start ripping out with wear to a point where the connector cable comes lose and the copper is exposed - that's bad. the store i got it from the UK replaced it for me and then i got another 4 months or so out of it.
i bought one for my brother two months ago - they seemed to have developed a lot on the design, with better connection at the 3.5mm jack end and at the earpone output. twist and fit sizes and comfort have been improved. on top of all the case is not easier to use and hard to tangle the wires.
pros
- company is making positive improvements, learning from consumer feedback
- great earphones for running
- good sound range
