I got these in the mail today and plugged them into my home stereo for the burn-in period. After about six hours I wanted to listen in on the symphony that was playing, and was very disappointed to find the right earbud had no sound. Brand new out of the box and the right earbud's not working. I went to the JBud website, and was not happy with their unfriendly warranty (20% restocking fee?), so I'm returning them to Amazon for a full refund. Don't buy these.

I'm no audiophile; I know just enough audio terms to get into trouble! Aside from a nice pair of noise-canceling Sennheiser headphones, I've always used stock phones or cheap replacements bought at the store. But, I'm using my MP3 player much more lately and my stock earbuds pads had gone missing anyway. I didn't want to use my old pair of ear-covering headphones, so I decided to pick up a pair of nice ear buds.

I eventually decided, after comparing with others, to go with the J2 earbuds. Basically, everything the other reviewers have said is true. Be warned, the bass is very overwhelming, at least according to my amateur ears. After letting them break in by hooking them up to my computer for 24 hours, I can say there really is a world of difference. I had to fiddle with my equalizer a bit, but now they sound very full, and much better than my stock earbuds. They're not fully broken in yet, and it seems like they're holding back just a bit on the treble, but I'm confident it'll get better.

I bought the black/electric blue combination and while they look bulky in the package, once inside they fit comfortably, snugly, and fashionably within your ear. I also can play music at half the volume I did before without hearing outside noises (in this case, the sound of refrigeration compressors), so it should definitely save battery life on your players and block outside noises on medium-high volume.

In my opinion, these are a great deal for any casual/non-audiophile user. Amateur users will notice the bass, so let them break in for a while, but after that, you will find absolutely nothing wrong with these. I imagine audio enthusiasts will find some problems with these buds, but people like me should definitely give these buds a shot.

I ordered this product a little more than a month ago.
It took me a week to adjust to the earphones (usually the case for every new one i get).

4 weeks later, there is no sound on my right earphone.
I don't do anything intensive with it.
It basically sits on my laptop and maybe sometimes I take it when I'm walking to class.
Not very durable.

I bought these for my iphone, and find they fit and sound good but going from listening to music to answering the phone I have to pull the phone out of my pocket to answer it. Unlike the earbuds that came with the phone. If they can get a button on the cord to answer and stop the music these would be great.

... even with 3 pairs of different earbuds, I cannot find a way to get an almost full isolation... or better that the ones that I get with this ones:Sennheiser CX300-B Earbuds (Black)
