These Are A++ Headphones

Written by KC from Arlington

These are incredible headphones! They rock! They give the best bass with both headphones in. The mic sounds fairly good. It works as a headset on my LG Dare, but the buttons don't work (for answering (as an example)) I love the fit in the ear. They fit better than the last in- ears which I also liked. I like that they no sit like normal earbuds in the ear. The old headphones look goofy. They are defiantly worth the money even in you headphones with a remote and mic or the old in ears they sound a lot better and the remote is killer. Over all great sound quality and excellent features. I even like the box the came in. It was very tuff. (rigid)

Note: Vice Over in not supported on the iPod Touch 2G

Also Note: I live North of Seattle and go my headphones in three business days with free shipping. I think this is a great time since they came factory direct from China.

BUY THESE HEADPHONES YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

okay so they rock....except for the fact ive had them for less then a year and they kinda fell apart. the little ruber things at the bottom of the buds came off in the first 3 months, and just today the right ear bud just....died....but other than that they rock and i would tottaly recomend them! some suggestions for apple though:

make a pair of headphones that dont tangle or twist around themselves!
somehow make it so the soft attachment of the headphone dosent come of INSANELY EASY!

other than that they rule!

Replacement tips

Written by TL from las vegas

2/12/2009

I was at the beach goofing around and lost one of the silicone tips to my headset. I was bummed to say the least. I went into the Apple store in San Luis Obispbo and explained my dilemma. The sales person said "sorry, we don't carry replacement tips", let me get the manager. The manager had the pleasure of listening to my whiny tale, at the conclusion, she said, "here is a new pair, will that be all for you today?"

I must say I am a Blackberry guy with a Fujitsu PC and based on the customer service at that store alone am strongly considering going full imersion into Apple.

Excellent stuff, btw, the headphones sound really good, that is why I was so bummed.

No Thanks

Written by JR from Towcester

I was so disappointed when I tried my new headphones. I'd looked into the different models available and decided to go with the Apple originals rather than any other manufacturer. But, I'm taking them back tomorrow. The sound quality is rubbish, they keep falling out of my ears, the right one keeps crackling - horrid. I got out my old headphones that I got with my Ipod mini many years ago and these are 1000 times better. I'd rather stick with them and lose the remote functions than put up with these. I can only assume Apple outsourced the fabrication of these.

Great while they last...

Written by DT from Barre

I have small ears, and cannot use regular ear buds. My husband got these for my birthday (mid-August) and I used them all the time. The remote volume control never worked from Day 1, but I was not concerned. They fit my ear at the smallest setting, and I was pleased enough with the sound quality, so I let the remote thing go. I was just pleased at finding earbuds that fit.

BUT, it is now the end of November, and I am shopping for a new pair. One side starting getting a buzzing sound, then cut out intermittently, then died altogether.

The fit is there, but the durability is not.

limited bass response

Honest.y, I bought this based on the glowing reviews but when I listened to them I was very disappointed. My iPod earphones sound better. What a waste of 80 bucks.

I want to listen to my whole jazz collection again!

Written by AJ from San Diego

30/11/2009

My brother gave them to me as an early xmas gift, and these headphones are making me rediscover one of my favorite jazz albums: Kind of Blue... I have been listening to it for many years (never on vinyl, sadly) and I have to say it sounds all the more exquisite through these headphones. The double bass now has texture! It feels like the drummer is right next to me, caressing the snare drum with the metal brushes...

The only reason I didn't give these a 5 star rating is because they don't seem like they are going to last too long unless I treat them with lots of TLC. My recommendations: get a cable extension if you can so you won't be yanking on them too much, hold on to the included case, and don't wind them up too tight.

Peace.

Really Great earbuds

Written by RM from Whittier

29/11/2009

At $79 these are really the best at that price point. Some people may have disappointment in hearing music as it was recorded. I think we are all used to speakers and headsets tuned to set a particualr range of sound. These are neutral. They produce bass when it is really there not just to create it. The separation of instruments is excellent. Overall tonal quality from low to high is the best I have heard at this price range. I do have SE420s and about 8 other types of earbuds, but for the money these really do a great job. Great sounding earbuds and controls that work with my iPhone 3GS is the best I could have hoped for. Try listening to the sound track to the movie 2001: Also Sprach Zarathustra; you won't say they don't go down to subwoofer frequencies after that. One thing about these is really true; they reproduce the sound quality of the mp3 recording. If the recording is not high qualtiy the phones sound bad. These work best with mp3 recorded at higher rates than 120. Try using 250 or 320hz.

pleasant surprise

Written by JZ from Forest Hills

The price may be a little discouraging, but these earphones are DEFINITELY WORTH IT. They work like a charm, canceling out most ambient noises and fitting perfectly into your ears (earpiece even comes in 3 sizes!) Plus, the design is so simple and clean cut, no bulkiness at all. This one should be a no-brainer!! buy them!

Terrible

Written by AH from Co. Kildare

28/11/2009

I stumped up for these after the earphones that came with my iPhone 3GS developed a buzzing in the left earpiece after 2 months. I had hoped that forking out a little more might improve the quality of the sound I was getting from the iPod function for all sorts of music from classical to Chemical Brothers.
I couldn't have been more disappointed. The sound quality is pathetic, it sounds like two mosquitoes buzzing in my ears when the music is on and making/taking a phone call is out of the question as it is impossible to hear what the caller is saying . I have tried them with all 3 sizes that came with it, and it still sounds like a tiny little old transistor radio heard from very far away.
I immediately abandoned them and went back to buy a new set of the original earphones, one third of the price and a million times better.

Shuffle

Written by TH from NEW YORK

Love the Shuffle--- hate the pods. They're cheap and they break. MIne only lasted 3 months, with very careful use. Since you can't change tunes without their pods, you're stuck buying again...

Do not buy

Written by CT from FLUSHING

27/11/2009

I purchased the headphones expected superior quality and was very disappointing. The sound quality is no better than the original headphones and the insulation is terrible. Every time you take a step or move, the sound of your body rubbing on the wire travels to your ears. Only buy these headphones to use while you are MOTIONLESS. I returned them for a refund. Save you money, please!

A big let down!

Written by JN from Watford

27/11/2009

I do not claim to be any kind of audiophile when it comes to listening to music but I find it utterly frustrating when that music has 'No Rhythym!'

My original Apple iPhone earphones stopped working so I needed to buy a new pair. I spent some serious time researching all the options that are available to the iPhone taking into consideration those that have the inline mic/remote facility to find a new pair. There are so many options that it became a bit of a mission. I finally plumped for these!

Bad idea!

These earphones have the typical beautiful Apple styling, however the sound reproduction is awful, and I am not exaggerating! The bass is totally non-existent! The treble over powers everything so much so that its unbearable to listen to music with these earphones! I was so disappointed with them I took them back to the store the following day after trying different equalizer settings on my phone as well as different types of music to hopefully get some kind of 'decent' sound out of them!

I do find it very strange that there are so many positive reviews on this item considering the terrible sound they produce. Maybe I had a dud pair!

So as you may realise, I am still looking for a decent replacement pair of headphones!
