Super comfy for smaller ears. [Posted on 2008-07-11] First of all, the color in the photo above is kind of off (or my monitor at work is terrible) - they look a bit more vibrant than you would think. Much less silvery. I suppose they're supposed to match the green 3rd generation iPod Nano, but I can't confirm this.
These headphones were fairly impressive for the price I paid. They block out a lot of ambient noise (allowing you to turn down the volume and save precious battery power), the sound quality is good, and most importantly, they do not hurt my ears. Every other earbud in the world will either not stay in my ear, or will start hurting after about 10 minutes of listening. These ear cushion things are magical; they have just the amount of firmness to stay put without being uncomfortably rigid. When I bought this product a few months ago, it came with an extra set of cushions, but I have yet to lose the ones that were originally attached. They cling with such tenacity, even when at the bottom of my overcrowded bag. Another helpful thing to know: the plug is straight and not bent, so it will probably work with most finicky protective cases. They're noticeably lighter in weight than the earbuds that came with my iPod.
I am notoriously tough on headphones (see: previously mentioned bag of doom), and these lasted me 3-4 months which, honestly, is way more than I ever expected from something that looked so flimsy and only cost $20. The left bud finally died on me yesterday during my ride home, completely out of the blue. Prior to this, there had been no change in sound quality or reliability. This morning's commute was miserable because I had to use the earbuds that came with my iPod. It made me very aware of how well these earphones block out train noise and muffle loud conversation, while allowing me to actually hear my music at a low volume.
Long story short, I'm plunking down $20 for a new pair with no hesitations. The bottom line is, if you have small ears or discomfort problems with other earbuds, you'll likely be pleasantly surprised with this product.
