Customer Review: Almost...so close...
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently bought an ipod nano with the nike+ system, and realized that the included ear buds wouldn't do at all. So I looked around the web for some ear buds that I can run with, and these seemed to come up with good reviews on some sites. After owning a pair of sennheiser circumaurals, I was pretty sure the sound quality would at least be decent, and I was right; these buds did not disappoint on sound quality. Also, these buds fit my ear well (after a small adjustment) and stay in place. They don't reach into the ear canal, but rather sit on top of it. Even so, they are comfortable and sound good (much better than the standard ipod buds). However, there are a few areas where these buds are lacking:
1. Lack of real cord management: The clip hardly cuts it. Also, the ipod buds outdo these by having a slider that reduces tangling. These don't, and really need them.
2. The case: Although it was nice of them to provide a case, I would have preferred that they had not. It's cumbersome to put the buds into the case, and almost as bad to pry them out. The case should have been a key feature, not an afterthought. Perhaps they can design a case with some kind of cord management and kill two birds with one stone. This case looks like a cheap rubber coin purse with a magnetic snap closure (oh wait, it is).
3. The color: I'm almost embarassed to take these into the gym. I think sennheiser should rethink their color scheme the next time around. Although they do make me want to run faster so no one sees me with them (an unintended advantage, I'm sure).
4. Wire casing: I agree, the wire casing is flimsy. I'm definitely keeping my receipt and proof of purchase, because I'm almost certain that I'm going to need it.
Despite all these setbacks, the sennheisers are still great performers, and I would recommend them to anyone who doesn't mind a tangled neon green mess.
