I purchased this retractable headset from Amazon.com about 3 months ago for $13. Besides being relatively heavy and clunky, the plug often slipped out of my iPod. Also, it gets stuck and won't retract. And when I pulled on it to get it out, the ear plug fell apart and now it won't play in one ear. Additionally, it still gets tangled and occasionally it won't retract back. I am already looking for another pair of earphones. If I could give this product less than 1 star, I would. It is cheaply made and not worth the money.

This review is from: Macally Retractable Earphones (Electronics)

I _just_ purchased this item and as soon as I listened to it for the first time, I realized it was a low-quality item. Perhaps I received a defective unit, I don't know. It seems to retract correctly, however the sound quality is poor. The headphone terminal might be to blame as it appears to slip out too easily. Plus, if I move the cord even a little bit, I notice the connection break with a very annoying crackling sound. I consider this a wasted $20. I might try a more solid-looking brand in the future, however, I could not recommend this to anyone.

I actually decided to keep this unit. Yesterday, the retractor snagged and the cord would not come loose. I decided to just throw it away. I have been very delicate with it and still its effective lifespan for me was about 10 months. Piece of junk.
