Listen to yourself walking

By Chris from United States on August 4, 2011

The headphones are well made, but the underlying design seems fatally flawed to me. You get to listen to the sound of the wires rubbing on your clothes, your own heartbeat, and the pounding of your feet. It was my mistake to think that in-ear headphones would be good when being active.

Pros:

Well made, good sound.

Cons:

Fundamentally flawed, in that having a seal on your ear amplifies all your internal noises, as the column of air in your ear canal vibrates.

Awesome deal!

By Jake from Atlanta, Ga on May 19, 2011

I use these headphones daily while riding my motorcycle. They have great noise isolation capabilities and are very comfortable even underneath my helmet.

Pros:

The easy volume up and down buttons as well as the ability to change tracks and pause playback.

Cons:

The only thing I don't like about these headphones is the lack of bass in the lower volume outputs.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Merchant Response:

Dear Jake,

Thanks for the review.

Please make sure you are getting a very good seal with the eartips you are using as the bass quantity and quality is a direct consequence of how good the eartips are sealing in your ear canal.

For our other readers, please make sure the use of earphones while riding your motorcycle is legal in your state / country.

Thanks!

If you're looking for buds with a mic and these fit your budget, get them.

By Alex from Washington, DC on January 24, 2011

Coming for my recently lost Westone 3s, these feel light on the bottom registers and lose some clarity at higher volumes. That said, they are good headphones for the price, and made even better because of the inline mic/remote. I used to own a pair of UE super.fi 4vi, but those were physically fragile next to these and had a somewhat more hollow sound overall.

Pros:

Good mic with remote that sits close to the ear. Very resilient cord. Look great.

Cons:

A little weak on the bass for me.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Great Sound, not so comfortable

By Tim from Michigan on December 11, 2010

great earphone for ipod touch and ipad, remote is not as each to use by touch as Apple's remote. The earbuds included are not so comfortable, but the sound quality and isolation makes up for it.

Pros:

great isolation and definition

Cons:

none of the included ear buds are particularly comfortable, better find 3rd party

I would recommend this item to a friend.
