4.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Product, but....., April 18, 2003

I absolutely love these Over-the-Ear buds by Jensen, but I've gone through 3 pairs in the last 2-1/2 years. I love the way they fit. They sit snuggly in my ear like a regular bud and the over-the-ear part guarantee that they're going to stay put. Nobody can hear what I'm listening to. I use them a lot and unfortunately the bud detaches from the over-the-ear thing and sometimes when that happens the wire breaks too and the sound is lost. I have yet to find something similar to these that will fit the same and give the same sound quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful for the price, August 29, 2002

Until an accident caused one bud to stop emitting sound, these were my favorite pair of earphones. They were comfortable (I often left them in when I went to sleep), affordable, lightweight, durable, and had good sound quality. I used them with my Sony CFD-V5 boombox, my Oritron OP5034 portable CD player, and my RCA RP2410 MP3-CD player. On all three, bass and detail was great, and there was no distortion at a higher volume. All in all, these earphones were a great value; the only possible downside is a bit of fuzziness in the sound, which I got used to rather quickly and began to prefer over my other earphones (it lent a bit of warmth to the music). I plan to buy another pair in the near future, and I highly recommend that you do so as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value for active non-audiophile use, December 28, 2005

I've been using these earbuds for a few years now. Normal earbuds tend to fall out of my ears constantly so I absolutely love the rubbery, flexible over-the-ear clips that keep these buds right in place. The clips don't even interfere with my glasses.

Now, don't get me wrong, if you're looking for audiophile sound from a cheap pair of earbuds like these, you're kidding yourself. These are amazingly low priced and ideal for gym workouts, using with cheap flash-based mp3 players, and just general active use. They also don't block out sounds completely so they're convenient for using in situations where you need to be aware of things going on around you while listening to music.

As for durability, I picked up a couple pairs and after years of wear and tear under all sorts of indoor and outdoor circumstances both pairs still work great.
