5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic find for the price, October 28, 2008

By	Feliciano "Elquesefue" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

After reading a couple of negative reviews, I was skeptical, but the positive ones had me intrigued. I am very glad I bought these. They sound wonderful, and are comfortable. Yes, make sure you put them in right. I was pleasantly shocked at the richness of the sound. Great also for being in noisy environments, yard work, etc. One would use these when they don't need to be connected with their surroundings, so don't ride a bike with them--unless you're in the open country, and careful if you jog in the city or on a path that's shared by bikers. All I can say is these sound great on my iPod. The bass is rich, the mid and high ranges are strong and clear. At this price, this is a terrific find. Will be getting at least another pair. They do come with a second set of earbuds, which is nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great earphones for a small price, July 12, 2008

By	Sean Ross "tseanross" (Albuquerque) - See all my reviews

I bought a pair of these in the Denver airport-for quite a bit more than Amazon is charging. The spongy earphones are just like foam hearing protectors so they cancel out airplane noise wonderfully and don't take up more room doing it. I no longer have to crank my Sansa up to dangerous sound levels to hear it above road or airplane noise. I also use them on an electric travel guitar with a pocket rock-it preamp that you can plug 1/8" headphones into.

The earphones have to be squished down like a hearing protector to fit in your ears and then they expand. If you just try to mash them in your ears, they will fall out. I would not recommend these earphones for any kind of athletic activity-if your ears get sweaty they will fall out. I would also not recommend them for bicycling or jogging - they cancel out too much road noise and would leave you not able to hear approaching cars.

Some other reviews complain of tinny sound but I have not experienced that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Tinny, July 17, 2008

By	J. Graham (Fort Worth, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yeah, they sound tinny if you dont put them in right... they're called "marshmallows" for a reason: they're soft and expand to the shape of your outer ear canal. When I first put them in, like you would with the standard iPod style headphones, they sounded weak. But all you have to do is push them in a little more and then they lock in. Once that happens, you get really nice, thick bass! I actually prefer these to the standard iPod headphones which are pretty decent ones too.
