Customer Reviews

I bought these headphones out of sheer desperation while in Target, so I could listen to music on my iPhone while shopping (too many distractions, I am not what one would call a "people person"), and was shocked at more than a few features:

1. Comfort. I have always been skeptical of ear bud headphones, because all others hurt my ears after a short time. These, however, fit perfectly right out of the box. They do come with different size ear pieces (small, medium, large). The over-the-ear construction is flexible enough to allow for some movement, unlike the ear buds that come with the iPhone/iPod, so they are about a thousand times more comfortable - a huge plus in my book.

2. Sound quality. I own a great number of Bose/higher end equipment, and while these headphones definitely aren't on that level of sound, they are incredibly good! Great bass, crystal clear high tones, and no distortion at all at high volumes. I was pleasantly shocked, to say the least. They are also pretty good at blocking noise, although these are not noise-reduction headphones.

3. Ease of use. As stated, I bought these at Target, tore them out of the box in the parking lot, and wore them into the next store - they stayed in place, and when I needed to I could simply pop out the ear buds and leave the earpieces just over my ears. The length of the cord is also just right for an iPhone or iPod - not so long it gets caught on things, and not too short where you feel restricted in movement.

Overall, for $30, these were a great buy! I'm very impressed.

They bend! They flex! they fit! They stay on! They can be fitted to hang over my ears taking weight off the sensitive canals. These come with 3 sizes of tips for the canal buds and the small size is actually small enough for me.

Standard I-Phone/I-Pod ear-buds are useless to me. Ear-hooks seemed the logical choice for me but, most ear-hooks fall off my ears because the loops/hangers are made for bigger (average?) ears and they seem huge. I try bending other ear-hooks to reshape and they break. If I could get the hooks to fit, the round speaker buds were still too big for my ear folds/canal.

I have (cute) little ears. It has been expensive and painful hunting for headphones/earphones. I tried many many brands and models. For me, almost all in-the ear/earbuds cause terrible pain because they just will not fit without force. With models that offer size choices, the "small size" bud tips were too big for my ear canals.

I've only had luck with circum-aural headsets (full size, fitting around the outside of ears). I wear the big ones inside my home for tv/music when I want to spare others from hearing. But full-size cans are hardly discrete/convenient for many away-from-home uses.

These are beautifully adjustable and have a small enough inner cap! I still haven't found a good earphone with microphone to use with my cell phone, but at least I can wear these to listen to music on an mp3 player. I wish somebody would adapt this design to bluetooth and add a mic!

Meanwhile, for little ears, this is a Eureka! design.
