3 out of 5 stars A not great experience   July 1, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I agree with all the comments here that at the price they are a bargain, and they very effectively isolate only the music you're listening too, but I've had mine only a couple of months and now have to look for a new pair.

Firstly, the rubber ear buds come off quite easily, so on a few occasions they've got lodged in my ear, but more annoyingly I've since lost one on a plane as it sprung from my ear never to be seen again.

The main reason I have to go shopping again though is that the sound form the right ear is becoming intermitent, and the plug into the socket needs to be twiddled to get the sound back.

Even for eight quid I would not have expected a technical fault like this after only two months, so I feel when it comes to these sorts of headphones you do really get what you pay for.



4 out of 5 stars Not bad but also not Good!   June 4, 2008

I have to say to be honest, that even after reading our impressive reviews, I have to say that the earphones are not as good as I think it would be.

But first, lets talk about the good points:
- Arrived a day before stated delivery estimate
- FREE DELIVERY!
- Pretty cheap for some decent noise ISOLATING earphone
- Gold plated jack (if it really matters?)

Now the bad points:
- Not Hi-Fi quality (not completely proper high-fidality like my brother's awesome sound system)
- No good ear bud sizes for me, even the small, medium and large doesn't seem to suit me(so some people may not get good sound isolation and quality)
- Poor packaging (came with in a plastic cheap-po wallet, eco friendly?)

So basically, considering the above, it is still good for 8 and a little bit behind the Sennheiser CX300 (as tested independently by another expert) and the sound quality and isolation (as with any headphones) will improve slightly if you gently push the earphone toward your ears, if you don't mind walking around all day with your fingers in your ears.

But above all, I would recommend theses to people who want cheap but good enough noise isolating earphones for traveling but, it is not the best I would really say, not the best at all.

After those shoddy apple ipod phones these come as smart relief the sit snugly in my ears, planting the music fully in my lobe -for the price just what you would hope for - they don't fall out you have three bud sizes to choose from and you can walk about with out them slipping out all the time..Plus they block out the innate chatter of other passengers on the bus..yay

I have an Ipod classic. Swapped the Apple phones for some good quality Philips, but found them to be a bit too quiet. Tried these, and they are great. Not the best quality, but still very good and much, much better than I expected, and louder too. In my opinion, they are far superior to the Apple phones provided with the Ipod. Build quality seems good, but I've only had them a few days. I will be ordering more of these for the rest of my family.
