Customer Reviews
Good sound, faulty locking mechanism
These earbuds worked great initially, and actually, as earbuds alone they're just fine. I'm not terribly picky (or discerning) when it comes to minute differences in sound quality, and they sound great to me. However, the retracting mechanism, which worked initially, won't lock very well anymore (this after 2-3 weeks of use). The cord will click at a given length as I pull it out, as though it's going to lock in place, but when I release the tension the cord just winds right back up (or it'll lock weakly and then snap back if anything touches it). If I hold the cord stretched out for a period of time it will often lock in place spontaneously, but even then it can rewind unpredictably. Overall, I'm still using these earbuds, but I'll be looking for another brand of retractable buds sooner or later.
Item received not as descripbed
I just ordered this item and when I got it I was very dissapointed that it was not as described. The ear buds were different than the picture. The ear buds I got were flat and round which hurts your ear and they don't fit inside your ear like the ones shown in the picture. I am returning this item.
Beware! MIGHT not get what you ordered!
I can't comment on the actual quality of this product, as I never opened the package. I ordered this product from Amazon because I wanted retractable earbuds with a clip to clip the cumbersome retracting mechanism to my shirt when I work out. The product shipped from Ritz Camera. When it arrived it was NOT what is depicted in the photo or described in the product description. The technical details specifies that the phones are ear-BUD (and that's what's shown in the picture) but the product that arrived just had those really cheap ear-phones that rest precariously on your ear and fall out after taking more than two steps jogging. Also, the product details brag of a 48" cable but the package very clearly says 30". Finally, there is no clip (as also shown in the picture) to clip the retraction mechanism to your clothing. Not at ALL what is advertised online.
Bottom line, this might be a fantastic product if you actually get what you ordered. I just don't know. DO NOT order from Ritz Camera. Not only did they not send what I ordered, but they also don't want to refund the shipping costs to return the product. The Indian lady I talked to when I called Ritz had a difficult time understanding my complaint because her comprehension of the English language was limited. I have had to go to Amazon directly to intervene and it has been a huge inconvenience.
Good luck!
