Customer Reviews

First off, I own several pairs of headphones, both in ear and over ear, and the iBeats are above and beyond anything I've used. The first step was finding the right fit (of the 7 tips included, I found 2 that fit perfectly, one regular mold, and the other the "Airlock" style). The standard tips are a snug fit, and allow the bass to hit fairly hard. I have a pair of Koss in ear headphones, and the Bass does hit harder, but the iBeats bass is much cleaner. The "Airlock" style tips fit snug as well, and I found that while in my ears, they were comfortable, but after long periods of wear, after removing them there was some slight pain. I also own a pair of Skullcandy Hesh over ears, and the iBeats again sound better than the Skullcandies. While I would recommend the Hesh to anyone on a budget looking for good sound for your money, I would recommend iBeats as well to anyone that can afford them. The ControlTalk feature is nice for the iBeats as well, and I've had no complaints from anyone on the other end of my phone. If I had one complaint it would have to be that the ControlTalk on cable volume and music control feature does not work on the iPhone 3G, but I recently upgraded to the iPhone 4 and cannot complain about that now. The thing I can't give enough praise about is the noise cancellation. iBeats block out almost all outside sound, and you dont have to jack the volume up extremely high to do it. Simply put, it is excellent. All in all, these are the best sounding ear buds I've ever heard, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friend or family.

I really want to like this product. They have a nice feel to them, the sound quality is crisp, the cords are thick, and resist tangling unlike some competing products. My first concern was the lack of bass. They just don't seem to have any kick. That concern was quickly eclipsed though, with a more pressing concern as they are quickly becoming unusable due to ControlTalk issues. I'm very gentle with these headphones, but for whatever reason, they seem to randomly activate either voice control, song pause, skip, etc... I thought I must have bumped the controls at first, but then discovered that just shifting the cable caused some sort of short in the switch to cause all sorts of mayhem- from fast forwarding through tracks, changing tracks, activating voice control repeatedly, etc... Did I get a lemon, or is it an across the board defect? I don't know...
