 best earbuds for under $100 January 6, 2009
I've purchased these Earbuds for 3 people now, I love them. The sound quality is great and the price is right.
 Best earphones I've ever owned.... until they stopped working. -_- January 5, 2009
I've been through about $200 worth of head/earphones at this point in my life and I have to admit that these are the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, they're probably also in the list of one of the quickest ones to break. While I do admit that I probably use earphones not in the most common way that they would be used... like for example sleeping with them on and letting them fall to the floor and not picking them up until I need to use them again... these stopped working when I was doing none of that (not that I didn't do those things while they were alive, mind you). They were on my night table, had been there for a couple of days and it was late at night so I had to use them. Picked them up and WAM! Left earphone didn't work. GRR! Right now I'm using a tape to be able to listen through both sides.
I did notice that the high levels bass on these, so if you REALLY don't like that you definitely need not apply. However, I used these to listen to movies, music, etc. on my laptop and/or with my MP3 player, I thought the bass was quite nice. I usually don't use bass if there's an option to turn it on or off, but these definitely did not make my enjoyment of music, etc. less pleasant. These are also really good for canceling out noise, which is something I like. Oh and I guess it should be noted that when I plugged these into my laptop at full volume, they really blasted out the music really high. So you might be careful before wearing them and the device you're using them with being at full volume. Might make you deaf from what I can tell.
All in all, my only quibble with it is their very short durability and this is a big issue with me as I tend to buy new headphones every other month. They offered great sound, nice bass and they were quite cheap too. So unless you're very careful when using these, I wouldn't even begin to recommend them.
Decent headphones for the price January 5, 2009
Amazon was selling these for $20. That's a great deal. They're definately worth that. I'm not so sure they're worth their $50 list price though. They're cheap looking and feeling, and I see there are some complaints about durability. They're fairly comfortable for earbuds, though.
But in headphones, all that matters is sound. These produce a good amount of bass, as their name implies. So if you care about bass more than clarity, as many younger listeners (or less appreciative music listeners) do, these might be it, and at a great price point. However, the overall impression I got from them was muddy and loud. Certainly an improvement over the headphones that ship with pretty much any MP3 player or phone. However, they don't project music accurately. I've read reviews saying these things sound amazing. They don't. They sound good for the price.
I decided to spend a little more money and purchase a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 Pro which I LOVE. I still have these to keep in my coat pocket in case I feel like listening on the run.
Buy them if your budget is $20-50. They're worth it. But don't expect the hype that a lot of people are putting behind these. And expect big boomy bass.
 THESE BREAK January 5, 2009
As many have written: great fit and sound (heavy on the bass). But they break easily. I have been through three - yes, three - pair. One thing to say is that they are true to their warranty, as each time I have dutifully sent them in and received a new pair. Which, like clockwork, breaks two months later.
Save yourself the hassle and get a pair of Audio Technicas.
Thumbs up January 5, 2009
These earbuds are ideal for running, going to the gym, or listening to your iPod on the subway. They are 'noise-isolating' (not '-canceling') -- stick a finger in each ear to get an idea. The bass frequencies in your environmental noise naturally have the greatest leakage, so the 'bass enhancement' on these 'phones actually seems to improve the overall isolation.
Playing bass-heavy electronic music at 60% iPod volume completely eliminates the sound of the NY subway. I was looking the other way at the platform and the (1)-train pulled up without me noticing. I've used 'em on airplanes and buses too - blocks the engine noise and all the colicky babies' crying. They work very well in the library too, since noise doesn't leak out and disturb others.
A $20 price-tag places these in the 'disposable' category (i.e., you aren't going to use these to remaster classical music recordings). However, I'm satisfied with the sound quality and I love the intensity of the bass. These are BIG step up from the pathetic Coby and SkullCandy brand earbuds as well as the meek white iPod earbuds that break in half after 10 hours of use. They seem pretty durable: I've dropped them in a puddle and walked over them with ski boots and they still work fine.
Bottom line: if you are on a budget and need a pair of headphones for the gym or on-the-go, these are a great choice. And if you listen to bass-heavy music, these are *the* best choice.
