I recently purchased an Airdrive for myself and I am very pleased with the product. It is pretty much all I use now. I wanted to use something at work where I could still hear my surroundings. I previously used my Boise Headset with the noise cancellation but found that people would walk into my cube and have to tap me on the sholder to get my attention.

This device allows you to hear your surroundings and still listen to music. No more missed phone calls. It also does not disturb those around you. I would say it is like listening to the radio that no one else can hear. The fit of the ear piece is top notch and it also comes with a separate volume control which is handy if you get a phone call.

The sound quality of the music is not great. If you are looking for top quality high fidelity sound this is not it. If you are willing to sacrifice a little sound quality for the convenience of listening to music comfortably and still hear those around you then you would probably like this product.

One other thing I liked is it does not enter the ear canal as some of the other earphone's of similar design. My ears sometime hurt from having to put the plug directly into the ear canal. I find I am able to listen to music longer with the Airdrive design.

These ear phones are great for kids in the back seat of a car. My child wears them and I can still get her attention without having to turn around and wave my hands in front of her. (Plus I don't have to listen to her music). She says they feel great, don't fall out of her ear like ear buds plus they say they are safe for the ear as well. I will be buying another pair for my other child once he starts to want to listen to his own music.

Even the smallest of earbuds cause me great discomfort, but the Interactive Earphones for Kids & Smaller Ears are the solution. Only two minor complaints: I would prefer them in black or grey instead of white. They would be more compatible with the iPhone if a speaker were incorporated. as I said, minor. It's such a pleasure to be able to enjoy music, books, & podcasts for more than 5 minutes at a time.

My 6 year old would have a temper fit shoving earbuds into her ears only to have them fall out. These are great--she can hear her music and still hear me. They can't get too loud or damage her inner ear. I just ordered two more sets for the 8 and 11 year olds. One caution, the younger one already broke the rigid piece inside the rubber that goes over her ear because she wasn't being careful when pulling off the earphone, so treat these with a little care in handling. The broken one still works just fine, though.

These earphones are particularly good for the active, small-eared person who wants to hear the TV, iPod or favorite electronic device without sacrificing cognizance of their surroundings and other people. They fit very comfortably outside and around the ear so listening to others and the electronics is very easy. I wish they had the same volume control on the cord as the adult version.

I can't use ear bud or in-ear headphones because I just can't get them to physically fit and stay in my ears! My ears are just too small it seems. After reading reviews of AirDrives I decided to buy a pair of the kids size for myself. I've only been using them for about 2 hours but they are super comfortable (which I could never say about any other kind) and the sound quality is good. I am certainly not a sound quality expert so there may be headphones out there with better sound, but these sound good to me, and for me the biggest driving factor was fit and comfort. And these score a definite 5 stars on both.

I would highly recommend these to anyone who has trouble with the fit and comfort of ear-bud or in-ear headphones.

I'm very satisfied with these clip-on-earphones; I've been having issues finding the right pair of earphones for my small ears. My family all have big ears so they can use those earbuds that came with the iPods but I cannot due to the discomfort when putting them in to my ears, also they fall out just as soon as I do. When I put these clip-on-earphones on, they fit very well considering other earphones seem to just pop off the first second I get them on, but these work remarkably with my small ears. the sound quality is great with these, I was able to walk to the bus stop and cross the street while hearing all the traffic that went past first which was an issue with my earbuds, I couldn't hear anything but the music. Getting on the bus, I was able to hear the bus driver and everyone else around me, which was something I wanted. If you want sound canceling earphones, these aren't the ones for you. These are more for safety than anything else; you can hear everything with these clip-on-earphones.

I absolutely love these earphones. I really wanted something that didn't sit inside the ears because it's just terrible for your hearing. I also wanted something that allowed me to hear what was going on around me while I was listening to music as I sometimes wear them while I'm walking on the street at night. The sound quality is great. You just have to make sure that the earphones are situated in the right spot against your ear. I find them quite comfortable as well as functional. My only minor issue with them is the sound leakage. Beyond a certain level people around you might be able to hear your music but they have to be turned up fairly loud for that to happen. It's only an issue when I'm stuck in close quarters like on the train or bus. Long story short if you like to blast your music, these aren't for you. If you care about your hearing, they are.

I love these so much I had to come back and see if they had more for kids! And they did! So, I got my Grandaughter a pair, too! They stay on your ears comfortably and the sound is excellant! They don't keep popping out and they just feel good! I would recommend these earphones for anyone 4 yrs.and older.

These are the first headphones I've ever found that actually fit my tiny ears. No, they aren't that loud/don't have the best sound quality, but that's the point. I love being aware of my surroundings while I run, and they allow just that.

However...they only lasted a few months before dying completely. I've had much cheaper headphones last much longer. So, love the headphones and will probably order more since they actually fit, but I'm very disappointed they lasted only a few months.
