Reviews for Yurbuds Performance Fit Sport Earphones with 3-Button Control Dry Mic

These do stay in your ear well (even when jumping rope), so I stuck with them, but I went thru 3 sets, as they all develop a "short" in the cable where the cable connects to the ipod plug. Very frustrating as they sound better than the standard ear buds but just are not durable enough under normal conditions.

I bought these sport earbuds and tried the smaller set out of the two which were still too big for my ears. I could still hear people and other background noise while playing the music. The rubber bud would would detach easily from the actual ear peice themselves upon removal of the ears, so I found myself cautious of taking them out to avoid loosing them. Well one of my rubber pieces fell off while taking it out of my coat and lost it on the tube(the subway). I have resorted to the biggest of the two sizes now that I have only 3 buds. They are now way to big for my ears and so the buds fall off a lot more now so having to to do the swap. The mic is way to low for anyone to hold a conversation so I have to hold it which defeats the purpose of hands free head set. Even with the clip, it was becoming a nuisance when the cord was caught on things which resorted to the cord being tugged and detach from my shirt. Using the clip to hoist the mic had the two cords that go from ear to ear very unstylish with the look of extra cord coming out the top of your shirt. In my overall experience the price point for these is way to high for the quality provided. How do we resolve these issues?

I bought these looking for earbuds that would stay in place and would also give me control over my playlists etc. The volume and start/stop controls failed on my very first run. They simply quit working. I plan on immediately returning these and would not recommend.

You're paying $60 for the rubber because the headphones are truly garbage. Awful sound. Sure they'll stay in, but you want the sound to be at least decent, and it isn't. After hearing them, I immediately exchanged them for the Sennheiser CX 680i's. NO comparison on sound (the Sennheisers are terrific), they are light, they are comfortable and they stay in. My first pair of Sennheisers broke after many years of good use. These are a terrific improvement.

The Apple "Genius" told me these sounded "amazing, way better than the Si4s" so I tried them. I want my money back. They are almost as bad as the old iPod headphones but they are $60. There is very little sound isolation with these and I don't find the fit terribly comfortable either. The sound...blows. All muddled and very poor base response. Every song I tried them with sounds like I recorded them off the radio on a cassette like back when I was a kid.

Searching for a good headphone for workouts having gone through SennheiserAdidas 680i (rubber parts fall off and controls unreliable) and the last gen Bose (uncomfortable (didn't stay in the ear) and not designed to resist moisture), so bought Yurbuds. Price certainly was reasonable, but after about two weeks, controls stopped working reliably and then, about a week later, after the headphones became wet during workouts (about 30 minutes in), music from my iPhone would begin to increase in volume to the maximum, ear-splitting level. Nothing could be done to get the headphones to stop this and play at a lesser volume, so they became useless at this point. Very frustrating. Rubber volume control (on 3-Button control) also fell off. Sound quality was only so-so, nothing great. Wouldn't recommend, unfortuantely.

If actual earbud gets damp plastic part that goes in ear comes off. So disappointed and is very annoying. Sorry this item does not work as stated.
