Product Description

Product Description
HP-V061 ear cap is designed to fit entirely in the ear, ensuring a more comfortable fit. What's more, it reduces sound leakage and let's listeners enjoy more natural bass than ever. Ear pad shape is designed for a perfect fit and comfortable listening even over long periods. What's more, it ensures a tighter seal with the ear for richer bass reproduction.HP-V061 also features Aiwa's unique "Duo bass boost pipe-phone". The pipe-phone advanced feature was developed by AIWA to improve the low-frequency reproduction of smaller in-ear type headphones. Based on the same principle as a pipe organ, it employs a compact U-shaped resonating duct to deliver surprisingly deep and powerful bass response. AIWA took this technology a step further with Duo bass boost, which features both a short and a longer Z-shaped bass resonator duct. The result is astonishingly deep, rich, well-defined bass sound that cannot be matched by single-duct designs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware..., September 22, 2003

By	"wankel13b" (Amherst, NY USA) - See all my reviews

I bought these because I have owned Aiwa earbud-style headphones in the past, and been extremely happy with them, even so far as to prefer them to any other brand, including Sony.

This pair turned out to be an almost complete disappointment. To be sure, the sound quality is fantastic; the treble is nice and high, the bass is spectacular for 'phones so small...

Unfortunately, the sound quality is not so good as to make up for the major problem with the 'phones: a glaring design flaw. The headphones do not come with earpads, nor do they have a soft rubber coating to keep them planted in your ears. They're made entirely of HARD PLASTIC. Not only do they not stay put, but, kept in your ears long enough, it's enough to cause severe pain.

It's nigh on impossible to find just replacement earpads, without having to buy a new set of headphones.

If you already have a set of earbuds with earpads you can re-use, these may not be such a bad replacement. But if you want something comfortable and ready-to-use right out of the box, look elsewhere.

Two stars, and only that because of the good sound quality.

It is very comfortable and fits in my hear like no other ear phones, I believe they have a model that has a volume control for it but its hard to find and now this exact model is hard to find and only available through amazon (which is pritty stupid)

the headphones are fine for adults, but for kids they are too big to stay in their ears and they prob need the ones on a band
