5.0 out of 5 stars No one seems to get it. Small ears, folks!, April 22, 2009

The number one reason to get these earphone is because, for some of us, the standard size earbuds HURT. Those of us who were cursed with small ears simply cannot tolerate those awful earbuds that come with iPods. TG these were invented. Simply select the smallest silicone covering, pop it in your ear and, ah, comfort. I don't give a hoot if I'm getting perfection in high fidelity, I just don't want an earache when I'm done listening. (I don't think the sound is bad at all, BTW.)

I also found out I'm not alone. Many people have this same problem, which makes me wonder why Apple has not stocked more of these at their stores or offered them free if you trade in your regular earbuds. This is not a kid's issue. I'm a fully grown, middle-aged adult, and small ears are a big problem for me. Lots of people with mini ear canals are big people too. I don't know why no one has picked up on this before.

The only downside to these earphones is that they are rather fragile and tangle like crazy. They can break off between the silicone covering and the wiring for the earphone. Treat them with care. I've had to order two pair already. (There are cases available for them and I suggest you get one.) Now my sister (average size) is complaining about her own small ears, so I've got to order another pair for her. I'm just thanking my lucky stars that there's a cheap alternative out there to combat the one-size-fits all mentality. Someone has to pay attention to those of us who aren't average.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buying my second pair, March 8, 2008

Okay, the dog loves chewing these buggers! Is it the silicone? Probably, or the dog is just weird!
Anyway, I have owned other earbuds, all have fallen out at one point or another while exercising! These buds come with three different sizes and stay in place!!! Buy them and you won't be disappointed. It's worth the $40.00. Nice storage case too. This is my second purchase, and only because the dog chewed them up, but they have not lost their ability to stay in and the sound quality is fine with me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Know how to use them and you'll love them, April 25, 2009

I lost my first pair and am now buying another pair. I bought these out of a vending machine because I forgot to bring my Bose headphones on a trip with me. I expected mediocre headphones but was blown away and actually sold my Bose headphones to keep these. I own my own recording studio and have worked with many different headphones. These are exceptional, and for the price they're offered at they're near unbelievable. I would pay over $80 for these in a heartbeat but you can get them for $20.

Most people say they don't like them at first but that's only because they don't know how to use them. You have to push them solidly into your ear so that they fill your ear canal and block out everything else. Once you put them in properly you can barely hear anything else.

These headphones have incredible clarity, a very rich and full sound, an impressive Bass response, great frequency coverage, and with the exception of some extra Bass compensation, are actually surprisingly balanced - something ofter hard to find in headphones.

I came on here looking to buy another pair and saw some of the negative reviews and couldn't help but comment. These headphones are excellent quality and I couldn't give them a higher recommendation. The only reason not to buy them is if you are shopping in the $100+ range.
