3.0 out of 5 stars Tough design, weak performance, June 2, 2008
These metal alloy earphones look unique and help you to stand out from the crowd. However, they are no better than the Coby earphones that came with my player. The stems are very thin and slippery making it unnatural feeling when trying to put them on. Once you get them on you will be startled by the chilly sensation from the metal (depending on the ambient temperature of course). Sound quality is on the low side and thin sounding. Bass was not warm or punchy, and highs not soaring and sparkling. An unfortunate example of form over function.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suprisingly Good, July 29, 2007
I can't do the in-ear headphones so I searched for something in this style. There aren't too many choices so I was willing to settle a little. These headphones surprised me. They sound very crisp and detailed and seem very well made. The bass response is a little restrained even with the iPod EQ adjusted but that is my only complaint. The accessories are a nice bonus at this price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best earbuds I've ever tried...if you add foam cushions, March 26, 2008
I picked up a pair of these recently for very cheap. Not from Amazon, but I'm going to post here because I think the reviews for this on here don't do it any justice.

Upon initial listening, I was unimpressed with how they sounded. The mids and highs were very clear, but the bass left a lot to be desired. However, I tried a little experiment by putting on foam covers from other earbuds I had, since I knew that those things make a huge difference in the bass response for earbuds. WOW! What a difference. These earbuds now have deep, strong bass and they sound excellent. Why there weren't foam things included with these earbuds, I don't know. They certainly gave a lot of other accessories.

With the accessories they are easily worth $25, if you can find some foam things (not sure what to call them, haha). I do generally prefer this open style to the in-ear style.

PS I've tried many earbuds before, including the Shure E2c, E3c, Entymotic ER-6 and ER-6i, various Sony ones, stock earbuds from mp3 players, etc.
