First of all, the color in the photo above is kind of off (or my monitor at work is terrible) - they look a bit more vibrant than you would think. Much less silvery. I suppose they're supposed to match the green 3rd generation iPod Nano, but I can't confirm this.

These headphones were fairly impressive for the price I paid. They block out a lot of ambient noise (allowing you to turn down the volume and save precious battery power), the sound quality is good, and most importantly, they do not hurt my ears. Every other earbud in the world will either not stay in my ear, or will start hurting after about 10 minutes of listening. These ear cushion things are magical; they have just the amount of firmness to stay put without being uncomfortably rigid. When I bought this product a few months ago, it came with an extra set of cushions, but I have yet to lose the ones that were originally attached. They cling with such tenacity, even when at the bottom of my overcrowded bag. Another helpful thing to know: the plug is straight and not bent, so it will probably work with most finicky protective cases. They're noticeably lighter in weight than the earbuds that came with my iPod.

I am notoriously tough on headphones (see: previously mentioned bag of doom), and these lasted me 3-4 months which, honestly, is way more than I ever expected from something that looked so flimsy and only cost $20. The left bud finally died on me yesterday during my ride home, completely out of the blue. Prior to this, there had been no change in sound quality or reliability. This morning's commute was miserable because I had to use the earbuds that came with my iPod. It made me very aware of how well these earphones block out train noise and muffle loud conversation, while allowing me to actually hear my music at a low volume.

Long story short, I'm plunking down $20 for a new pair with no hesitations. The bottom line is, if you have small ears or discomfort problems with other earbuds, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised with this product.

These headphones are good - better than the stock set that came with my iPod. I like the fact that they're green to match my iPod.

It took a little getting used to having the "in-the-ear" kind, but they sound better.

My only complaint is I can hear all my body movements while wearing them. It's like being under water. They do block out that horrible music at the gym, though. LOL

EDIT: After about a year one of the speakers went out in these headphones. I ended up having to replace them, so just be aware that they may not last very long.

I bought these earbuds for my girlfriend because she would use her destroyed ipod headphones whenever we would talk on skype or when she was listening to music. I finally had the chance to give them to her the other day and I have heard nothing but gratitude from her about them.
She was at home and was able to completely tune out her mom with them, even without music. I myself bought the light blue and have found them awesome for their price.
The rubber plastic pieces come in a few sizes to fit any ear size which makes it lovely for those with smaller ears. Also the plastic pieces can be changed with just about any set of ear buds. I trade those with my brother and mom all the time.
Shop around for the lowest price. I recommend these earbuds 99.98%

They sounded OK and weren't too bad on the ears but they shorted out the 2nd day i started jogging with them don't buy them if you're planning on jogging with them.

I am impressed with the entire Griffin line, these usually cost $20+ retail but sound like $50 headphones. No they will not last for eternity but if you get a year or 2 out of them it is definetly worth it. I got these for my daughter and she tears up headphones fast. I have a pair of these I got for myself a year or 2 ago and they are still going strong

My TuneBuds blooks out lots of room noise.
My TuneBuds are very confortable, and has a clear sound.

Great product! BUT it really doesn't work with a Ipod classic leather case. The thing that inserts into the ipod busted off in less than three days. Those three days thou where very good! The different buds fit all ears, so these where very comfy. Also I think if I wasn't using the case they would have lasted alot longer.:)

I've purchased several pair of these phones. The sound is excellent and they are very comfortable to wear, especially since they include several sets of earpieces in different sizes. The downside is that they have a short life span and that after a while the area near the plug breaks down. Nevertheless they are so inexpensive that it's easy and cheap to replace them. I'm going to try removing the phones from the plug before wapping it around the ipod to see if that improves the life span.

This is a very good product. The sound is great as well as the color. The only problem is that the buds don't fit into my ear like i would expect. They do the job, but not great.
