* Adjustability great for gym. Wax in pinholes can fool you to think they're broken. A bit tinny. *

All:

I've had these about three months. There are a TON of reviews already, so I'll be brief....

The main point I want to add is most negative reviewers didn't seem to discover that one has to clean out the teeny tiny pin-sized hole in the center of the hard plastic part of these earbuds once in a while. As with many other reviewers here, one side of mine stopped working (sounded nearly dead) after a month or so.

I removed the soft plastic ear canal fitting and compared the "broken" ear bud to the good one. I realized that the small pin-sized opening on the "bad" side was blocked with some debris (ok...er...ear wax...eww). Removing it with a small pin fixed it as good as new. Yes, it's a pain in the neck to have to watch for this, but at least they're fixable.

Apparently (just FYI), there are companies on Amazon selling "wax guard" ear pieces for headphones, and some of them likely fit these. I'm looking into these, and will update if they work for me...the company has a compatibility list on their website that says they will fit these headphones:

Comply T-400 Foam Tips - 3 Pair Pack

[...]

Other than that, I agree with the other reviewers who say the short cord is slightly too short and the long extension is too long.

And yes, these are a little on the tinny side -- not enough bass. However, as some other reviewers point out, it's important to use the soft ear canal fitting that best fits inside your ear...and to make sure you don't put them on backwards...
Great product

I love these headphones. There are the only ones that fit on my ears and are capable of staying on when I workout.
Great Headphones for under $40 bucks!

These are great headphones. I compared them to many other in-ear headphones, including Beats and Bose, and these are far better. I owned a pair of Zune HD Premium headphones before these and they are very similar in sound quality.

Great Bass and Treble. If you like hip-hop, you will be very pleased. Just make sure to get the right fit for your ear installed and place properly in your ear.

I use these with my Droid X and Slacker Radio. I have the Droid X EQ set to Punch Bass and it sounds amazing. Perfect volume. Good noise isolation.

I am also adding the TX-400s by Comply Foam.

These stay in your ears and do not fall out. If you do not want the over the ear holster, you can take it off. I use them as they are comfortable and make it more secure.

These are a great, affordable headphones!
