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.

I agree with fernando_f . Please E-mail (BigMusicLuver@excite.com) 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!

The frequency of this headphones is 6 to 25,000 Hz. They are just amazing. I want to buy more, and they are being discontinued.... I don't understand why. Don't take my word. Go to the store, and try the big headphones. The wider the frequency, the more expensive they are. Why? Because is a better quality. Try those 20 to 16,000, and then try a 5 to 30,000. Now imagine that in portable headphones with a comfortable silicone to seal the sound and give you comfort.

Based on some reviews here and elsewhere, a good experience with an Aiwa casette walkman many years ago, and in spite of the fact they look tacky, I got a pair of these when I saw them on a street stall.

I think the thing with in-ear phones is that no pair of ears are the same, and so the earphones can suit you or not. In my case they didn't, and my experience is much the same as the "electronics fan", only for me they don't even sound good when held into the ears, which is basically giving a more efficient coupling for the bass frequencies. The bass end breaks up quickly if you drive these phones anyway.

I am a professional audio engineer and while I have to agree that what sounds good for one person is another's audio nightmare, I would advise to avoid paying too much attention to manufacturer stated frequency response. Apart from other issues, - 6hz is inaudible, as are frequencies above about 16,000 Hz in most adults.

My verdict,- Ellut in NY, if they work for you, you're welcome to them. For me they were a waste of every c I spent on them.

I like these earbuds. I listen to books on tape every night at work. The sound is very good. I've tried other brands and the Aiwa are THE BEST.

These headphones are crap!! They dont stay in your ears and the sound is terrible. The only way to get good sound is to push them into your ears and hold them there, but it still sounds terrible. I bought the twenty dollar sonys and those are MUCH better. DO NOT buy this product unless you collect headphones or some crap like that.
