3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, I suppose, September 16, 2002

Basically, when I hold then in my ears they sound decent, however, the fit isn't quite right and a lot of sound ends up leaking out anyway. They also aren't very comfortable because the sylicon pads give too much and I can feel the sharp metal poking in my ears. (also because of the give the sylicon pads don't really seal all that well.)

I give this product 5 stars. I have had my current pair for over two years, and am looking to replace them because of a small tear in one of the silicone bubbles that surrounds the earbuds. I've been using them day in, day out, and many other brands I've tried before have not lasted nearly as long as this pair has. After my first pair wore out, I bought one each for myself, my mom, my brother, my girlfriend, her mom, her dad,.. the list goes on. Everyone raved about the comfort, convenience, and superb sound quality. It's really a shame they are being discontinued. I would really love to get another pair or two. I'll be visiting the computer electronics store later this week to look at the new headphone selection. I only hope I'll be able to find a decent pair of new headphones.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST EARPHONES IN THE WORLD, January 3, 2004

I agree with fernando_f . Please E-mail ([e-mail]) me if you ever come back to read your review. I have a pair of these and for a year now I have been trying desperately to find the same exact pair. The comfort is unbelievable because it fits snugly into your ear. The material that is made on these earphones are soft and really comfortable. As fernando_f pointed out, the sound quality is the best I have ever heard. It DOES NOT LEAK. A couple of times when the music is blasting loud I would ask my friends if they can hear the noise. They say "NO!" The sound is so in tact into your ears that one would never want to take off these amazing earphones. If I can say one bad thing is that the silicone that surrounds the earbuds tear easily. This is my own fault because I did not take good care of this delicate product. This should be a hint to AIWA that they should make more of this because they tear easily.

I've tried out many ear phones. Purchased expensive ones and inexpensive ones. But nothing has come close to this specific product. Again, I can't stress enough why these ear phones are the best. The sound and comfort says it all.

I am so sad and disappointed that they discontinued this product. I've already placed a pre-order on Amazon and I will continue trying to find these earphones...or at least until find SOMETHING that will top this product!
