4.0 out of 5 stars These kick!, April 14, 2004

First of all, just so you know, I am NOT an audiophile. I'm simply a person with a two-hour commute each way who likes to keep her ears busy with music and audiobooks. I recently purchased an Ipod, and, after getting tired of having the earbuds fall out, purchased these to replace those that came with the Ipod. I love them. Not being an audiophile, I would hesitate to rave about the sound, but I have had NO complaints with it whatsoever. The sound is loud enough, clear enough, and true enough, to come through richly and warmly even on a noisy bus. They don't tend to fall off (even if I fall asleep in them), and they take up no space in my already packed purse. I highly recommend these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ear buds for those on the go., August 16, 2004

First off, these are NOT the best headphones made. However if you like ear buds and are moving/walking/running/etc these are a GREAT pick. They sound decent for $12 headphones but they actually stay in your ears as you move and are fine for periods of longer wear. I personally have used 30-40 pairs of headphones under $60 and these are one of my favorites. I am listening to them right now while they sit next to my Bose and my Sony studio headphones. If you have too much bass, then adjust that in your device, its not a problem for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars I bought 3 different models ..., October 15, 2005

Even after reading all the reviews, I wound up buying 3 different models ... Sony MDR-J10 Black, Sony MDR-J11g, and Koss KSC22.
Both Sony models are similar in sound, but the MDR-J11g has a better quality feel to it, and the plastic housing seems stronger. They both fit my ears good, and speaker fits into the ear canal and stays there no matter how much jumping around I do. I can't see these falling off during a jog.
However, the Koss seems a better choice out of the three. The sound is clearer and the earpiece has a foam cover which makes it comfortable when I'm wearing it for extended periods. Also, the metal clip is easily bendable so I can make it conform to my ear perfectly, and it won't fall off no matter what.
I tend to lean toward Sony products when purchasing electronics, and the Sony headphones have a nice, futuristic appearance. But I have to go with practicality, good sound, and comfort on this review ... so Koss is my favorite of the three.
