    Simply Awful

    • Written by from Phila

    There was nothing at all I liked about these earphones. They sounded like tin. No range, terrible base, and they distorted if you turned them up too loud. Also the plastic pieces did not fit on nicely and kept falling off either in my ear or on the floor. Huge disappointment.

    Poor sound, poor design, Poor “noise canceling”.

    • Written by from SAINT PAUL

    The sound is among poorest of any head phones I've ever had. I run and I'm a huge consumer of the disposable one dollar amazon knock-offs. Most of those sound bad, but these RHAs are by far the worst.

    They have to be IN your ear. Not in your ear like normal ear buds are in your ear. They actually have to be inside your ear. It's uncomfortable. But the good news is that they won't stay there very long. They fell out very frequently. Even pivoting my head between two monitors at work caused them to fall out at a rate of about once a minute. They come with an assortment of tips that increase in diameter. I wasn't able to find one that fit. I couldn't try them all because it is very difficult to change. When they are in your ear properly, it sounds like you are wearing ear plugs or you are under water. Hold your hands tightly over your ears and turn up your stereo uncomfortably loud...That's what these sound like. As others have mentioned, any movement of the cord caused a noisy disturbance.

    Looking at the reviews most people love them. I don't get it. I guess me and my apparently misshapen ear holes will be returning these and purchasing something else.

    Broken in 3 weeks

    • Written by from woodcliff lake

    Opened the box and fumbled fitting the right sized earbuds.. Once that task was complete they sounded pretty good. Even though the chord was about a foot and a half too long I was pleased with the sound. For about 3 weeks until the left bud stopped working.
    Highs- decent sound, bloked out noise
    Lows- long chord, fabric sheath that knots easy, weak connections prone to failure

    Bad build quality, good sound

    These are great earphones but the right earphone just stopped working 2 weeks after I bought them. The mic controller connection just broke!

    Terrible headphone!! Puts a heavy noise when you touch the wire!!

    • Written by from SUGAR LAND

    People who cook should taste the food before serving to others. Guys who designed these headsets never used them at all.

    I am using this headphone sitting in front of a computer (I am in IT) and it puts a heavy noise even for a slight movement. Whenever it touches anything (like a shirt collar), it makes an irritating noise. Apple should *NOT* even list these headphone in its Store. Big disgrace to Apple to carry them here.
