3 out of 5 stars Good sound, poor build quality, loud handling/cable noise   September 17, 2008
I bought these earphones on the strength of the review below - and by the way, the tip about how to put the earphones in properly really helped. That & making sure you have the right size earpieces.

Great sound quality (and i'm really picky because i'm a musician), nice strong bass response, and a pretty efficient speaker in the earphone. All in all, I liked it. Oh, and 3 different sized buds to find the best one for you are included.

However, they didn't last too long as one of the earpieces fell apart where the metal band joins the speaker of the earpiece onto the back end of the earpiece where it meets the wire. To me, this smacks of poor design. A one-section earpiece would not have split in two like this.

My other complaint is that there is a high handling noise whenever I touch the cable. It's fine if you're just lying there, not moving, or have loud music on, but not otherwise.

A similar pair of Sony earphones had a cable shaped like a small y, rather than a capital Y that these are (if you see what I mean), and therefore had strain relief for the earpiece & cable coming off the main cable. This meant handling noise was much reduced.

For the money, I can't complain. Good sound quality, and as long as you don't mind the handling noise, they'll do you well.



5 out of 5 stars Amazing   September 15, 2008

I've never really bothered much with sound quality or bass, never having experienced it I didn't really know what all the fuss was about. Well, that all changed when I bought these headphones. The bass is simply amazing. You don't hear it as much as you feel it, gently vibrating inside your head. The noise isolation is great; no one can whine at me to turn my music down when I'm at the computer. I wouldn't recommend wearing them when walking about outside by yourself; you will miss hazards like speeding cars honking their horns. I bought them at 5 and I can only say that I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

I did have to fiddle about a bit to get the right bud size. My advise is to actually try all three sizes before just settling on one, assuming that it is right. Give a song a proper listen a few times before trying the next size. You won't regret buying these (Y)



5 out of 5 stars Such good value for money   September 14, 2008
So happy with these, the sound quality and bass response stomps all over the basic Apple earphones. In fact the bass is so strong that I needed to change my settings from bass boost to treble boost. The in ear design is so useful for listening on the tube, as it blocks out background noise I can almost halve the volume of my iPod, which is so much better for my ears.

If you're looking to upgrade from freebie iPod earphones but can't afford to buy top of the range ones, then I'd say these are perfect.



3 out of 5 stars Hmmm - Pretty good   September 10, 2008
I was excited waiting for the arrival of these headphones to replace my Sony ones which are halfway between this and standard type earphones.

I am fairly impressed, however the sound quality isn't as good as I thought it would be.

I might be doing it wrong, but I'll keep trying the medium and small sized buds, they seem to fit ocay with the medium ones.

For 8 - yes, buy these if you only have standard earphones. I am not 100% happy though



5 out of 5 stars worth every penny   September 5, 2008
now i am no expert when it comes to earphones; so when i bought these i compared them to my old sony earphones which cost me 5 pounds. its fair to say that these are way better, the sound it very clear and the bass is amazin. i recieved the earphones 24 hours after placing the order which is pretty impressive delivery. i recommend to any one looking for good quality earphones at a low price.
