Can't Beat For The Price! [Posted on 2008-04-11]
I'll be honest and say I'm not an audiophile. The difference between an mp3 at 256 vs 320 is nonexistent to me. That said, I can enjoy the highs and lows in music and I can tell the difference between a poor quality recording and a high quality recording. These Air Cushions allow you to do just that. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. If/When these die, I will happily purchase new ones.

I love these headphones, i could never find any headphones that would stay in my ears... NONE! But with these, i can run, work out, and do whatever i want, without having to worry about them falling out. They are amazing for their price, and i couldn't ask for any better headphones.

The ear buds:
These are a little different than most in-ear type ear buds. Most in-ear buds have just the "plug" part of the ear bud in your ear, and the housing between ear bud & wire sit outside the ear. The housing is pretty comfortable and small, but still causes a little discomfort when sleeping in them (a little pressure), but since there are no hard edges or materials in the ear, it's not too bad. I can't comment much on the sound as I'm not an audiophile. Sounds ok to me though.
The case
Pros:
Will hopefully help with the problem of the earplug silicone pieces falling off & getting lost (this happened with my Apple in-ear covers a few times).
Will also keep ear buds cleaner.
When the earphones are in use, the case can stay attached to your cord, and it doesn't weigh down the cord while it's hanging from your ears.
Cons:
It's really wonky to use. The Case is meant to house each ear bud separately, then you can wind most of the cord up around a little reel and close the cover of the case. You have to get the length of cord left out of the reel just right or you'll run into trouble getting the thing wound without running into the hard intersection part of the cord, etc. You kind of need 2 hands to do this...even so it's awkward.
Wish there was a way to attach it to my iPod case instead of just letting it dangle from in plug.
A reel-type or retractable mechanism would have been much easier to use.
Value:
In all, for the price, they've got better features than the $40 Apple phones that I replaced. The Apple phones had several pieces to lose which, besides the silicone part, had no function besides esthetics. Also, no case. I'm sure the prices was for the brand nane, but they were a gift, and also received before there were too many other choices for in-ear phones.
Great sound, a little awkward to get in at first! [Posted on 2008-11-17]
I purchased these headphones when my old ones stopped working... my boyfriend had these and strongly recommended them. His only issue with his was that the "in ear" plastic portion that you can switch out kept falling off and getting lost in his bag. I haven't had this issue so far! (But I think I do take better care of mine :P) I only use these for recreation, so I can't get into all the technical aspects, but I can say that the sound is great on these, and the in-ear portion is great at eliminating exterior noises. My only initial issue with them was that I couldn't quite get used to inserting the whole ear portion INTO my ear canal! I'm used to it now and I get why it needs to be done - to drown out all that outside noise. All in all, a great pair of headphones at a very reasonable price for the quality. Oh, the only other thing is that I purchased these in white and I find that the ear pieces "attract" the little lint fuzzies in my purse, so I frequently have to wipe the lint off. But quality-wise, these are great :)
