These are extremely poor quality headphones. I started using them with my iPod, and compared to other headphones on the same device, the volume and sound quality is horrible. Even with the volume turned to maximum, I often had trouble hearing softer songs and podcasts with even minimal background noise. They also don't come with any sort of soft cover for the earpieces to provide comfort for the ears, so using them is often painful. To make it worse, these headphones actually started to buzz in one ear after only about a month of use. Now the sound will fade in and out, and I've only had these for about 6 weeks. I was very disappointed with these headphones.

You might as well throw your money away instead of buying these. The cord separated from the plug after less than a week of pretty minor (less than 1hr per day, no pulling) use.

Let me explain. I bought these on amazon not used, or like new, but new. I got them in the mail 2 days after I ordered them, so I was obviously excited. I opened the box, and right away, I realized that the wires were thinner than the Sony headphones that I have that will die since the wires are exposed. Right away, I plugged in my Coby headphones. Unlike some of the other times with this company, but similar to one time before with this company, the quality was poor at best. My guess is that Coby is one of those companies where sometimes they're good, and sometimes they're not. This time around for me, they're not. They were good for the person that posted before me because he luckily got a good pair. Coby is usually a good company, but with this specific headphone, there are some defects in them. I took a risk and paid the price. I had the same chance to get the best headphone replacement possible. If you're going to get this set, you have about an 80% chance of getting a great replacement for your broken headphones. For this price, I say go for it, because if you're unlucky enough to get a bad pair, it won't be a loss to you. *ends rant*

These are very uncomfortable. I have small ears and these started to hurt after only 30 minutes of use. I had to turn up the volume on my music when I used these earbuds compared to my ancient, lower-quality-line Sony (over the head) earphones. The sound quality was not good.

Also, the packaging states that the cords contain lead and you should wash hands after handling the earbuds. SCARY!!!

Do yourself a favor and get something better quality. What is the point of spending a lot of money on a good music player if your earbuds don't let you hear it well?

Don't buy these. I got them in a bundle when I bought a microphone, so I'm not upset that I spent money on them. I just want to let you know they suck. The wires are super thin. The quality is horrible. It takes at least 50% more volume to hear your devise and the quality of the sound is bad anyway.
Saving money by buying such a cheap pair is not worth it. Save up your pocket change and buy a $5 pair or better.

Do not buy these headphones. They are not worth even a few bucks. Sound quality is absolutely terrible. I bought these intending to use as a cheapy backup....they don't even qualify for that. Did I mention the sound quality is horrible?!

right ear bud poped out after the second day and then just stopped working all together two days later. not a very good product

I bought these earphones for 2 dollars and I guess I should have expected low quality since in fact when I opened them and tried them out I could already hear static on one ear-piece and after a while I saw that the connection of the wire with the jack was loose so the sound kept shutting off and on. My advice is pay a few dollars more for something better.

I ordered these headphones after my JVC headphones broke. I just needed a temporary pair until I returned the school where the sell the JVC ones for really cheap. I ordered these and was very disappointed. One headphone arrived damage which already made me upset and to top it off the sound quality was HORRIBLE. The headphones that came with my blackberry had much better sound quality. These headphones kind of remind of the ones you find in a dollar store and clearly cost em more than one dollar. Even for a temporary pair, these headphones were not worth the price.

I totally disagree with the previous comments. These come from a good company and I'm so glad I stumbled on them. I actually expected them NOT to have good sound -- WRONG! I would compare these to my SONY earbuds and my IPOD VIDEO EARBUDS - (5th Gen). I liked them so much, I went back & purchased a 2nd pair for backup! They're GREAT - don't hesitate! I would add one thing to this: I would recommend adding the "iBuds" to your earpieces on both these and the APPLE Earbuds - makes them more comfortable, helps keep them in your ears and directs the music into your ears, improving the sound -- GO FOR IT ;-)
