Great earphones (Rating: 5 out of 5) I bought this for my girlfriend because I lost her old ones and she enjoys them. There have been no problems with the sound ever since she started using them. Good quality and sound is what she told me.
wires very thin, tangle easily (Rating: 3 out of 5) The wires are very thin and tangle easily. Sound quality is okay for $4.99 price.
great earbuds (Rating: 4 out of 5) for the price, these are magnificent earbids. The bass isn't great but, they project the fine detail of the music you are listening to. I would buy these over if I had the chance.
I will never buy a cheap item again. (Rating: 1 out of 5) This items is very bad. Its sound level is very low. My advice to you is not to buy this item.
Long Review..I apologize but I'm an audiophile (Rating: 4 out of 5) Okay first of all, I traveled a LOT on buses and trust me, in some routes of certain parts of certain cities[cough] you don't want to announce to the world you have an ipod. So I always go with black earphones. That being said, I wanted something to replace the fugly earphones Apple sells. Note to apple...come on if you're gonna sell black ipods sell black earphones too, duh!
Anyway I happened upon these puppies on Amazon and I couldn't believe the price. My criteria for buying earphones has always been to look at the frequency and I say between 10 to 22,000 Hz is fine. any less and more and you're entering "expensive earphone" territory. FYI sometimes a company will sell you some with a smaller range and charge more WTF-
I bought them, they came within a week or so, and I opened them. I have to admit the packaging was VERY cheap. I was worried I got an imitation. I plugged them into the ipod and OMG were they good. The first song I heard was "Stay Where You Are" from my FAVORITE band of ALL TIME "Ambulance LTD". The sounds were full and clear. If you put the volume real loud however, you can hear that white noise-ish background. But hey! what can you expect from $5 earphones?
Plus they are very durable. I had to run into the car and the cords fell off my ears and wound themselves around some car handle and I though, "oh no they broke" but they still worked. If a pair of earphones can stand THAT kind of abuse, then they are well worth their weight in gold. Er or non-gold. That's some mighty fine welding they got there.
Also if you do your research, the material they use is good because I believe it carries a decent signal through out the tiny cable.
Conclusion: If you want decent quality earphones(not THE best), are frugal, and want black earphones from a well respected company. Then I say go for these. But if you can shell a little more money then go with something else.
