I've only ever had the earbuds that come with the iPod and they're okay. They have pretty much very little to no bass, and the comfort of the iPod earbuds are pretty bad since my ears are a bit smaller than most people.
The J2buds come with 3 different sets of rubber ear pieces to put on the earbud itself for people with smaller or bigger ears. I'm using the smallest one right now. I really had to stick these things in my ears to get them to stay.
PROS :
' Good Bass.
' Durable.
' Stylish.
' Noise-Canceling (From what I heard, it's not as good as others, but it still does the job)
' unbeatable price.
' Many Many colors to choose from.
CONS :
* My ears hurt after a couple hours of listening.
* Cord might be a little bit shorter than some other brands.
* Flicking the cord when listening produces a "thump" now this will probably happen on most earbuds but I'm just putting it out there.
That's all the cons guys, the Pros totally outweigh the Cons!
I highly recommend buying a pair of these, the price is just unbeatable!
!! UPDATE 8/6/10 !! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay so I've had these for a while now and I was actually thinking of buying another pair since the price has gone down to only $15!!
Also, fitting the Jbuds into my ear is no longer a problem. When I first got these I had some trouble but now they fit comfortably. The only trouble now is that my ear start to hurt after wearing these for a couple hours. But still, overall, great earbuds! If you have the stock earbuds that came with your mp3 player or ipod, I extremely recommend these.

!! UPDATE 6/2/11 !!
Okay, its been almost a year now and I still use these ear buds. I like these a lot not only because they are stylish but they also sound exceptional. The wires seem strong enough and they don't get tangled easily but my brother kept playing with it. Eventually, the wiring went bad on my old pair and with the 1-year warranty included with my first pair, I contacted JLabs and they sent me another pair promptly.
I just ordered my 7th pair today. I only have a pair for myself but the others are all for friends and relatives. I still use my Sennheiser cx300's because they are so comfortable. Don't get me wrong, the J2's are comfortable, but they seems clunky and over-sized sometimes. I just wished they had a small model that looked similar. Overall, if you are looking for a nice pair of ear buds, I recommend the J2's.
*Note: This will most likely be my final "updated" review for this item because I feel like I've discussed everything that I've wanted to. If anything arises I'll be sure to update again.
Thanks for reading,
Frank
