Better than average sound but....., August 21, 2009
This review is from: Altec Lansing MHP216 Muzx Series In-Ear Headphone with Large Brilliant Crystal (Electronics)
I've owned these for little over 2 months and they are now busted. Granted I work in an enviornment where breaking the headphone wires are pretty common but these were worse than any I've had as far as build quality is concerned.
The sound is better than average for budget earbuds and they were very comfortable. I liked the crystals on the back of them, gave them a real girly look...cute, cute. Too bad they turned out to be crap crap!
My first problem was I noticed a silver thread hanging from the right bud and I made the agregious error of pulling on that "thread". Little did I know that it was the one thing that sealed the earbud housing! Once I pulled it off the whole bud popped open to expose the wireing and stuff inside. The wires carrying the sound was the smallest wires I have ever laid eyes on. I ran out and purchased some superglue gel to close the bud so the wires would not get damaged. It worked for a few days then it popped open again at work when I went to take them out my ears. I wrapped the buds up and later noticed one of those thin wires were broke...so long ear buds!
Yeah I know I helped them along to their demise by pulling that thread in the first place but the doggone things should have never frayed out like that in the first place. The wireing was toooo thin and the seal should have been better. Just not worth $20.00 to anyone! Save your money for something better.

Decent sound - terrible durability, June 29, 2010
This review is from: Altec Lansing MHP216 Muzx Series In-Ear Headphone with Large Brilliant Crystal (Electronics)
I purchased these at Wal Mart after my dog got ahold of another pair of earphones.
The seal was pretty good, especially after establishing the correct size for the silicone tips. I tend to be fairly active and these earphones stayed put.
After a little burn in the sound flourished fairly well. Nothing spectacular, especially compared to the $150+ earphones, but good enough for everyday use.
Unfortunately, these earbuds are NOT durable enough for everyday use. Like the other review posted here, my pair also separated (irreparably, as far as I can tell) after less than 2 months to review the wires within. No amount of pushing or cajoling would get the two pieces to snap back into place.
I wont be buying these again, but they worked fairly well while they lasted.

Good and Attractive, January 19, 2012
This review is from: Altec Lansing MHP216 Muzx Series In-Ear Headphone with Large Brilliant Crystal (Electronics)
These earbuds are my favorite!
The sound is crisp and loud, I really like the sound quality compared to other headphones. The diamond looking ends are really eye-catching. I couldn't figure it out at first why the teenage girls looked at me a lot, they liked them! Almost everyone comments on them. A long time back, I really wanted these real diamond earphones I saw displayed in the jewelry store, so...these are much more affordable and do the trick. The only issue is the earbud cover is not staying on one earpiece. I just ordered extra covers, yet its a hassle to put them on. So far, I have had no problems with the cord coming apart. Cross my fingers.
