Headphones reviews

This item was shown with a mechanical wind-up device. When I received it, it had the usual airline type earpeices -- no windup. And one side was a foot shorter than the other!!! The sound was inferior.
I returned the item for a prompt refund but was dismayed when there was no acknowledgement of the obvious defects; on the contrary, I was told that the sound was superior!
This was an annoying experience to say the least.

Better sound than the Apple buds which come with the iPod. Better than any I've ever tried, including Koss, Sony, Maxell, and the knock-offs.

Why oh why do people spend $50, $80, even $100 for earphones? For the very sane sum of $15 or so I get very decent sound. Okay, this is not audiophile sound, but I'm walking the streets of New York City where noisy vehicles and nearby conversations constantly intrude. There's no way anyone can possibly listen at audiophile level in that environment. On the earphones themselves, I could not get the foam pads to stay on and they consequently do not lock in place 100% of of the time. For the most part, however, they stay where I put them and I hear every note, every instrument and every song perfectly. The coil device to store the cord is a waste when you can simply wrap the wire around your iPod or MP3 device.

These are pretty good for the money, not the best, not the worst but ok.

These are not the best headphones ever made, but for the price you can't beat them.
I have a bunch of these lying around the house and office. I replaced my ipod free headphones with these guys and i'm very happy with them.
