Customer Reviews

These are the best of the clip-ons.
I now own THREE different pairs of clip-on earphones: Koss, Altec-Lansing, and Sony. The Sony are the best, for these reasons:

1. They position the speaker so it is facing FORWARD rather than towards the center of your head. This way, you get direct sound to your eardrum, and consequently the sound is louder (saves your batteries), and you get better high-frequency response (the sound doesn't have to turn a corner to get to your eardrum). It just sounds better than the others.

2. Stiff plastic design (no moving parts) makes them very easy to get on and off, and easy to tell left from right. They don't move around once they are on your ears.

3. The cord has a sliding part which allows you to secure the wires up under your chin, effectively giving you a single wire from your neck to the sound source. Handy for keeping the wires out of your zippers and collar, and, I think, handy for running, to keep everything secure.

4. No foam to irritate your ear and distance your eardrum from the sound.

Too bad they are orange. But the orange is ALMOST fleshtone, so it isn't too bad (for a white guy). Other clip-on's might look niftier (the Altecs have some chrome which looks way cool), but they don't work as well.

These are great clip-ons. Just buy them. At this price, I'll buy a second pair.

I sleep in these and the sound is fine
I've owned about six pairs of these h.Ear headphones over the years and I usually lose them before they stop working. One pair did fall apart after about 18 months of nightly sleeping with them on.

I'm a compulsive audio book listener; have been for years. As I said, I fall asleep with these in my ears. When I wake up, they're still there. So I give these a good rating for comfort and ability to stay on. (BTW, sleeping with wires that could wrap around your neck and kill you is not a brilliant idea. I do NOT recommend this.)

I don't need a concert hall experience. Music sounds fine when I do listen. These things are perfect, however, for audio books.

When I mow my lawn or do other noisy work I put on a pair of those over-the-ear hearing protectors. They fit right over my h.Ear headphones so I can hear the stories just fine.

For less than ten bucks, these are pretty hard to pass up.

Doesn't fit small ears!
I don't have abnormally small ears or anything, but they ARE small because I'm a small girl. The headphones did not fit my ears well. They kept falling off and not staying in well. They are very nice though. My boyfriend has more normal sized ears and they fit perfectly on him. He loved them. I would just say not to get this product if you are a small person with kind of small ears. Otherwise, it is a great product.
