Hands free calling, clear listening [Posted on 2008-07-16]
Here's what's in the package: earphones, 3 silicone ear plug adapters (small, med, large), foam fish skeleton to wrap cord around, black oval zippered case roughly size of altoid container.
Pros:
1) Noise reduction - I tried this at the public pool and it was like all those noisy kids were a mile away (aaaahhhh....), so very nice listening quality
2) Can use it as hands free device while driving by pulling out one ear bud (only get voice on side w/o answer button)
3) answer button works great, also hangs up when done
4) Mic seems fine (so says the people I call) - appropriately located
5) the case - great place to store the extra plugs and headphones when not in use, it would be a snake-filled nightmare trying to pull that out of a pocket or out of a purse (yes, the cord is that long)
Cons:
1) No clip - the last one I had a small clip so I could attach the mic to me, I miss that - no biggie
2) The cord is way too long - you'll appreciate this if you are 8'2" - I'm 5'2" - half the cord is wrapped around the "fish"
3) no instructions? I'll admit - the fish caught me off guard for a moment
4) The fish - it's big, it looks stupid hanging off my headphones - but the cord is too long not to use something (sigh.... 1 star off)
EDIT: It would have been useful to say I am using this w/the iPhone 3G. Despite saying "compatible" and not "made for iPhone" it does NOT bring up the "do you want to switch to airplane mode?" screen, which I was a bit worried about, b/c that would get old fast.
not as i have expected [Posted on 2008-08-05]
well the sound of it was good for the first few weeks. then the left side started to dull out. now the left earbud produce almost no bass while the bass on the right hand side still pumps. i really don't know if it's a problem with iphones breaking the earbuds or the product. cuz i read some reviews on v-moda vibes having the same exact problems. this darn thing was good for limited amount of time. >.<
i couldn't even buy it!! [Posted on 2008-08-12]
i tried to buy this item and when it got into my cart it was listed as having $302.99 in shipping charges added! NO THANK YOU! What a ripoff. All I wanted to do was buy a few pairs of headphones, but this seller has lost me as a customer forever.
Good sound, odd product [Posted on 2008-08-13]
Was so excited to find a cheap pair of iPhone headphones...
The good:
- Cheap
Considering the price, from someone who is not a headphone connoisseur-->
- Pretty decent noise canceling
- Good sound
- Great microphone/button placement & usability
The bad:
- On the packaging of this product it warns that after touching the wires you should wash your hands because they contain lead. And that lead could cause cancer. Now, how do they propose using headphones without touching the wires? I knew I wouldn't be able to find another pair of iPhone headphones for so cheap, so I took matters into my own hands and covered the wires with electrical tape. Sure, it's not so aesthetically pleasing, but they still work.
- Despite coming with 3 sizes of earbuds, all 3 are too big for my ears, maybe I just have abnormally small ears, but it get slightly uncomfortable after a while of listening.
