3.0 out of 5 stars Short and Sweet, May 31, 2008

By	Henry F. Robinson ".." (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I once owned a pair of these earphones the bass is great and you get a great sound. You also won't hear anything else in the room while music is playing. Unfortunatley they are very delicate. To give us a high quality sound shure gives us high quality wires- made of gold. Gold is a lot softer than your average earphone cable, so they damage easily. Mine lasted 6 months.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!, January 7, 2009

By	Claude H. Suddreth "Opinion Expert" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased these for use with my Apple Macbook Pro laptop. I will say in one word - AMAZING!

These noise isolation earplugs - ISOLATE. They seem as effective as the foam earplugs I used to wear at a large manufacturing facility where I worked. I mean they seal up TIGHT and cut HUGE decibels of outside noise.

As far as sound - there seems to be any number of "Audiophiles" in this world - each with their own opions of all earphones - past, present, and future. I am not an "Audiophile". I am a geek - a computer user - who enjoys listening to MP3's, or perhaps something from iTunes. I might decide to watch a DVD movie, or play (HORRORS!) a computer game.

Do you know what?

These ear phones are MOST EXCELLENT for any or all of these things.

Treble is clear and crisp - rings like a bell. Bass is deep and vibrant. At 1/2 volume on my Macbook Pro - I could FEEL the sound literally in my bones, all the way to my feet. People who have said you need a 2 or 3 driver earphone to deliver good Bass response are out of their minds! These sound better than the 12 inch Cerwin Vegas I have hooked up to my Mitsubishi big screen - in terms of Bass response. I would dare say you would have to have at least a $2000 set of home stereo speakers to equal the sound output and quality of these inexpensive headphones.

They are THAT GOOD.

If you want to pay more for earphones - by all means do so. If you have some type of hyper sonic hearing and are playing with uber-super- duper sampled audio - and wish to hear the fly landing on the left cymbal during William Tells overture - perhaps something MAYBE will deliver SLIGHTLY more response for you delicate audio orifice.

But for the rest of us - who listen to MP3 - watch DVD movies - and play games - THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I mean they are MAC DADDY - MONSTER - ear phones.

I have NO COMPLAINTS whatsoever.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best airline travel headphones out there, July 26, 2009

By	M. Rowe (Honolulu, HI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I travel frequently and often on very long flights. I repeatedly tried various noise-canceling headphones loaned to me by coworkers. However, I could only ever wear them an hour at a time. Even though they reduced the audible noise, there was still amplitude pounding on my eardrums from both the engines and the noise canceling at a ninety degree shift. This drained me of energy and started to give me an earache over time. To make matters worse, they were big and bulky not allowing me to sleep in them. Then I purchased these earphones. First I tried them at home and was blown away by the quality of audio coming from such a small system. They sounded great on my iPhone. But I then wondered what they would sound like with uncompressed audio straight from the CD. Outstanding! I mean truly impressive. Now comes the flight. The plug part of the earphone cut out more noise than the noise canceling ones could ever hope to do. With this added benefit, I only needed to have the volume on my iPhone set at less than 1/4 volume. Anything higher was too loud. This also resulted in a longer battery life as the iPhone's battery wasn't having to push a large magnet. Even when I wasn't listening to music or watching a video, I left the earphones in as ear plugs. They are simply so comfortable I was able to travel on a 15 hour flight without ever having a need to remove them from my ears. It even felt comfortable sleeping with my ear against the pillow! This product has simply made my travel a lot more tolerable. I recommend this product to anyone that travels on commercial jets. Audiophiles or the general public. Everyone should purchase these over the noise canceling ones.
