Customer Reviews

Certainly adequate...
I've had the spectrum of in ear headphones. I've had $100 Shure, and $12 Skullcandy. The shure were great, but a pain to keep in your ears. The Skullcandy were great but a pain to keep in your ears...The skullcandy lasted a few months and the shure would have lasted a long time if I hadn't left them on the plane in a seatback pocket. These sound good and seem to stay in my ears relatively well. One of the things I initially dismissed but I find helpful is the cloth covered cable - it really is tangle free. I use these for my Mp3 player while on the plane. I travel every week. They let me keep the volume at about half what I would need to put it on for regular style earbuds.

Excellent Disposable Earphones
I am very hard on earphones, and have given up buying expensive models from various manufacturers because they inevitably fail within a few weeks of use. While the elite vendors like Shure have excellent warranty and return policies, it's just not worth the hassle. After going through three (free) replacements of E3C's, I got tired of dealing with it. I still recommend Shure's for indoor use.
I run on the beach in the blazing sun in Florida, slathered in sunscreen and sweating like a horse. This wreaks havoc on vinyl wire sheathing, leading to cracks (in the case of Shure) and degradation to sticky mess (in the case of Sony).
On the other hand, really cheap IEMs like the Koss and SkullCandy just sound horrible, even for my relatively undemanding ears listening to podcasts and audiobooks.
I was delighted when I picked these up at Best Buy on a whim. They fit, have good sound and best of all, a cloth tangle-free cord. The cord is by far the best feature. However, my current pair is about to go in the trash because the plug is shorted and I only get sound in one ear. The first pair had the same problem.
As I say - disposable. Since they are about half the price here on Amazon, I'll probably just order a couple at a time and treat them like razor blades.
If anybody can recommend some DURABLE in-ear monitors for a reasonable price, I'm all ears.

Good sound, poor construction
I bought these earphones because I was curious to see what kind of earphones a speaker manufacturer would make. The sound quality on them are really good considering that I only paid $16 for them, but the construction is really poor. I had them less than a week and the plug separated. I had my iPod in my jacket pocket and when I went to take it out to plug into my computer, the iPod had the plug pin in it, but the cord and the other half of the plug had separated from the pin. I've never had that happen with a pair of headphones before. I'm taking them back to the place where I bought them for my money back.
