I bought these for listening to music after my old regular earphones broke, and I must say, these are probably the best headphones I have ever bought. I was switching from a great, very comfortable in your ear kind of earphones, and after they broke I wanted some that had an ear clip to stay in my ear better (and look way cool!). After a few weeks of searching for a good pair that were great and inexpencive, and finally decided on these, $9 is really cheep for a good pair, and every penny was worth it. I recomend them to everyone. (I'm actually listing to my mp3 player with the headphones as I'm typing this) Pros: - great fit After I bought these, I had major troble with the headphones for about two weeks. They wouldn't stay on my ears, the bud was rubbing against the inside of my ear constantly and giving me a great deal of uncomfortable pain. So I left them alone for about a week, and thought about it some, then went back and played around with the ajustment (I use my on the smallest setting) and eventually figured out that I was putting them in my ears wrong. I figured out how to do it right and they were very comfortable. They're very light and once you put them on you forget they're actually there. The ear clip goes nicely on my ear and does its job great, I have not had any problems with it, the earclip is very flexible, and so is the adjustment. The bud seems a little big but it fits nicely in my ear. The headohones don't come off if you yank the cord (they will eventually if you keep yanking it though) - pretty good sound It's not as good as you would get from a great pair of over-the-head kind of headphones, (that was expected) but they are very good for just being headphones. I have owned a pair of earphones that had better sound. Of all the headphones and earphones I've ever owned, the sound is number 2 on my list, which is pretty good considering I've owned about 8 pairs, and these are by far the cheapest good sound you'll ever get. It's a little tinny sometimes, but that might be my player, because it sounds great when I have them plugged into my IMac or Windows PC. One con though, sometimes (not always) the noise will sound funny after about a few minutes if you just have one headphone in, so make sure you have both in for optimum sound! Also, forgot to add, but the bass is great, if you have a song playing with some more dramatic noises, you can sometimes feel it vibrating (pro!) - adjustment Its good, I was excpecting one that didn't work so good, but this one is pretty great. Not much to say about it, but I am pretty sure it was made for bigger ears, My ears are kinda adverage I guess, and I have then on the lowest adjustmet. The clip is extremely easy to adjust which is great too. - cord The cord is nice, not short at all, I'd say it's about 2.5 feet long maybe, not sure, but I have had no problems with it at all. you don't get that annoying noise if you hit it, which is a major pro for people who are looking to go jogging with these. It also has a nice adjuster thing on it that most other headphones have. - performance performance is great. I've had absolutly no problems with it at all in the two months I've had them, and they seem like they will last me quite a long time too. They don't feel plasticy or cheap at all. - style Very very nice, They aren't bulky at all, they look great when your wearing them, and they're just fantastic like that. The blue color is actually more of a 'darker' blue with a slight metallic purpleish tint (I see this as a great pro, they look fantastic) - price 9 dollars for a great pair of headphones, great deal. Overall: I highly recommend these, they have great fit, good sound, amazing quality, and a great price. (The only thing they're missing is a mic and free food samples. that would be amazing)
