4.0 out of 5 stars Cool Headphones, Not For Running, August 23, 2009

By	Nona M. "Thought Proccessor" - See all my reviews

When I had to get new earbuds after my dog chewed mine up, I thought I would get these since they seemed cool and different. I took them out of the bag they were awesome. I loved the colors and the sound. But, I realized immediately that if you moved around with them in your ears they would produce static. This only lasted for a couple minutes and now they work perfectly. The downside to these cute earbuds, they are NOT for running. I got to the track and began to ran and had to take them out and hold my ipod because they wouldn't stay in. I'm considering buying a different pair just for running. So, if you are a runner these are not for you, but if you are looking for a way to stay in style while keeping the sound great definitely buy these earbuds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very cool...a must have...sound quality equals Bose in-ear headphones, September 5, 2009

By	Middlebunny "middlebunny" (Jersey City, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews

I have the expensive Bose in-ear headphones which costs 3 times as much as these. I cannot tell the difference in the sound quality. I spent about 30 minutes listening to the same section of a track alternating between these and my Bose headphones. I just couldn't hear a difference no matter how long I tried. The Bose headphones have better ear cushions; but, once you get these positioned correctly in your ears, they are comfy too. I use the smaller cushions and find that it takes a few seconds to position them correctly. Once I do, they are secure and don't fall out of my ears unless I accidentally pull the cord too tight. The cord length is approximately 10-12 inches shorter than the Bose in-ear headphones which may or may not be a problem for you. Also, there is no clip to secure the cord to your clothes and keep it from bouncing around while you walk. This is not a big deal for me given the great sound quality of these headphones and cool blue/green color. If you are looking for quality in-ear headphones for the iPhone 3g/3gs at 1/3rd the price of "top of the line", then try these. You just can't go wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars a little better than apple's earphones, November 18, 2009

By	Margarita Geronimo "rubberburger" (manila, philippines) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

i own two pairs of these headsets; this blue/green one and the pink/orange one.
i got these as a replacement for my iphone's broken stock earphones with mic. what i liked about it was the item's attractive design and colors. it also comes with a handy case to keep the earphones in. the pair also comes with 2 size options for the in-ear buds and i must say that i'm extremely satisfied with how they fit. unlike the stock earphones (which tend to hurt after wearing them for a long time), these roxy JBL's do not come off and they're very comfortable to wear. outside noise is effectively blocked as well so I can definitely hear my music much better.

the sound quality however, is pretty average. in fact, it sounds almost exactly like the stock earphones of apple. i was pretty bummed about this cause i was hoping that a JBL pair would sound way better. also, i was pretty disappointed in seeing that up close the design quality and material of these roxy earphones are quite similar to that of apple's headset. in short, the wires are still pretty thin and flimsy.

bottome line: if you're looking for a replacement for your apple headset, this would be a good choice. sound quality and structure wise, they're almost identical. the only thing that makes it a bit better than apple's stock pair is the fact that these JBL's are more attractive and their smart in-ear design.

for the audiophiles: don't expect superb sound quality; you obviously need to pay WAY more if that's what you're after.
