I Love This Product, but..... [Posted on 2003-04-18]
I absolutely love these Over-the-Ear buds by Jensen, but I've gone through 3 pairs in the last 2-1/2 years. I love the way they fit. They sit snuggly in my ear like a regular bud and the over-the-ear part guarantee that they're going to stay put. Nobody can hear what I'm listening to. I use them a lot and unfortunately the bud detaches from the over-the-ear thing and sometimes when that happens the wire breaks too and the sound is lost. I have yet to find something similar to these that will fit the same and give the same sound quality.
Barely worth the price (and I got them for free) [Posted on 2005-09-03]
Okay, I have to admit -- I really have nothing to gripe about. I got a set of these for free with my Rio MP3 player. As you'd expect of the "standard equipment" that you get for free, they're junk. The sound is tolerable, but they're incredibly flimsy and no amount of squashing, stretching, twisting, or other manipulation could get them to stay in my ears if I was doing anything more active than sitting at my computer. You can simulate this effect by buying some Twizzlers at the store, wrapping them around your ears, and seeing how well they stay put. The soft rubber of these earpieces is very close to the same consistency.
But really, would you expect anything more from a pair of $4 headphones? Probably not. The one thing I would recommend them for, based on their price, would be wearing them in situations where you want a cheap but usable pair, if you were concerned about them getting damaged or lost.
Don't fit [Posted on 2005-10-23]
I love the design and light-weight feel of these earbuds. I can't even tell that I'm wearing them.
Unfortunately, the buds themselves are too large for my ear canals. Instead of going in my ear, they just rest on against my ear canal. So, I'm not getting the full effect of the bass and volume. Since I've always worn earbuds and never had this problem before, I think it's a design flaw.
I'd only recommend these to people who don't listen to loud music.
Great value for active non-audiophile use [Posted on 2005-12-29]
I've been using these earbuds for a few years now. Normal earbuds tend to fall out of my ears constantly so I absolutely love the rubbery, flexible over-the-ear clips that keep these buds right in place. The clips don't even interfere with my glasses.
Now, don't get me wrong, if you're looking for audiophile sound from a cheap pair of earbuds like these, you're kidding yourself. These are amazingly low priced and ideal for gym workouts, using with cheap flash-based mp3 players, and just general active use. They also don't block out sounds completely so they're convenient for using in situations where you need to be aware of things going on around you while listening to music.
As for durability, I picked up a couple pairs and after years of wear and tear under all sorts of indoor and outdoor circumstances both pairs still work great.
Second Pair [Posted on 2006-12-31]
This is the second pair of these ear buds that I have purchased. They are so small, flexible, and comfortable. You don't loose any sound quality or volume. They are soft enough to sleep with them on if you are in a noisy place. I love them.
