These ear-buds were brought to replace a previous set brought well over a year ago for a iPod rather than the white Apple ones due to the quality of the music. It took me some time to track these down and find they were the correct ones, though altered (which was what gave me the most trouble) but after guesses, buying and receiving, I am very, very pleased. The adjustable volume piece isn't really necessary but it is a handy little addition and the sound is wonderful. Clear, good bass and blocks out the outside world with very little volume.

I am very pleased. I can only hope these ones last as long as my former ones.

Great pair of earphones for the price, only drawback is the inline volume control is a little fiddly. Great sound compensates for that though. Very impressed

I've had a couple of pairs of these phones before and subject them to a fair bit of hammer as I spend a lot of time in transit, on trains and on foot. For such inexpensive phones, they're very comfortable and have excellent sound reproduction. And unlike many other phones on the market, they yield a fair amount of output, with next to no bleed even at relatively high volume.

these lasted me 3 and a half monthes before they got bust. thoght that that was okay considering i used them everyday for bout 3 hours
there kinda cheep and the quality is good
the volume control was reli usfull
THEY ARE BY FAR THE MOST CONFORTBLE SET I EVER HAD. i put this in caps cos i think its reli important that earphones are compfortable.

1 downside is that the chord is very short [lik 1 meter] so u cant loop it round ure neck

would suggest them to a freind

ok, this is not a top of the range earphone, but it does give a decent sound quality. it tends to look poorly built, but so far I have not had any problems with it.
it is not sound isolating, which is not very good, because when you are listening to music, you will still everything around you, unless you put it on full volume.
the volume control button seemed useless to me, and a bit annoying cause if your earphones are in your pocked or something, it might turns it down, so everytime you gotta check to see if it is on high.
Not bad for earphones, they do the job required, the sound quality is OK, but my old Philips did a lot better job, for almost the same price.
if you want very good earphones, invest a bit more and get a better one. if you want it for not-so-regular use, then this should be good.
