Pros

Fairly inexpensive

Seem durable enough

Cons

Hollow sounding

No bass

Not sensitive enough

Best Uses

Comment:

Very disappointed with these earphones. Like the Bose ones fine and these are more highly-rated so I expected them to sound better, but I can't listen to these anymore. Rock music sounds hollow with zero bass. The standard iPod earphones sound better than these. Have had really good luck with Consumer Reports ratings in the past, but cannot recommend these at all.

How long have you owned it:

A month or less

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

Used with ipod touch... purchased from Amazon.com It came with various sized silicon ear pieces so fit is no problem and cord construction appears durable... but those are only positive things about these earbuds. Sound is very tinny with poor bass... even with ipod equalizer bass range cranked up. Very disappointing! The cheap earbuds I got with my dell computer sound better.

How long have you owned it:

A month or less

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
