While these ear buds are "metal" and look cool they are also very uncomfortable to wear... the rubber ear pieces that you can switch out are also easily lost and once you lose them all the headphones become useless, unless you like jagged metal in your ear. The sound is okay at best, with no noticeable difference from that of the included earbuds... and the microphone is far from great. Complete waste of 60 bucks.

Decent. Quality is okay. Sound is okay. That's about it. I did happen to have a little trouble with keeping the rubber ring on the earbuds, however. They would not stay on, and I eventually lost them. These earbuds aren't comfortable without those rings.

I read about this product on a website relating to iPod and iPhone accessories and took a chance because I was looking for a replacement set of earphones for my 1st generation iPhone. They were highly recommended and after using them for 6 months or so, I have to say that I'm glad I trusted them. These earphones sound great and work well with the iPhone. I don't like the "shove 'em deep in your ear" type earphones that are all the rage now because I like to be able to hear what's going on around me. I also find the noise isolation in my head to be quite annoying. If I'm eating while listening to music, I don't want to hear the chips crunching around between my teeth too. If my kids want to ask me a question, I don't want to have to pull the earphones out of my head either so these earbuds are perfect for me. Well, there is one thing that isn't quite perfect. Either my ears are too big or these earbuds are too small because they don't fit very well in my earlobe. They have a habit of falling out when I'm doing the dishes and then I have to dry my hands to shove them back closer to my ear. Other than that I'm very pleased with them and use them all the time. The bass is decent and the highs are high enough for me. The mic works pretty good too for phone calls. I haven't had anyone complain about them yet!

I bought these headphones for my iPhone thinking, they'd really blow me out of the water. I think the sound quality is decent. But going from the stock Apple headphones to these are a shift. I feel the design could have been a little smoother. I always feel like the are really protruding out of my ears.

I'd say try these one if you can before you buy them ( if you can). Otherwise, the sound is great.

This product works as advertised. It works both as earbuds for the iphone as well as allowing you to use as a cell phone headset. Sound is good but I have trouble keeping the earbugs in my ears when active. Next time I will buy the in ear version.

I loved this headset. The earbuds were comfortable, and the mic was decent. The placement of the mic/button along the cord was good as well. However, as another reviewer said, the small, round, rubber rings around the earbuds fall off and get lost very easily. Mine lasted only 5 weeks. I contacted the company, and they were great about it and sent me a new pair. The new pair only lasted another 5 weeks before the joint near the plug got a short in it and the sound kept cutting off in one ear.

I may have gotten two bad pairs in a row, but if the quality and resilience of the products I received are any indication, don't spend the $70.
