It hurts so bad [Posted on 2004-04-04]
First of all, these earphones are not THAT easy to put on. It takes quite a bit of adjusting, especially if you wear any earrings. After you fit them in your ears securely, they are great for about 40 min. After 40 minutes, my ears just start to hurt and it definitely wasn't because the volume was too high. Maybe my ears have weird shape. But I get the feeling that "one-size-fits-all" doesn't quite apply in this case.
Surprisingly good sound and stays put! [Posted on 2004-04-08]
I like to listen to music on the move, so it's always an irritation when my headphones fall off constantly (and boy do those earbud ones ever!). Well, these are my favorite headphones so far. They STAY PUT, whether I'm cruising through rush hour crowds or jogging. More importantly, they don't suffocate your ears like the traditional over the head headphones. What really draws me to these phones, however, are the sound quality. The sound is actually a lot better than some of the more expensive low-end phones you can find (I compared them, believe you me). The bass on this, for one, is much better than a pair of Aiwa earbud ones I bought which cost twice as much. All in all, these are good headphones for active people who also want their music sounding like music.
Takes some getting used to [Posted on 2004-04-12]
When I first got these headphones I had the same complaints that another reviewer had. However, I did get used to them and learned how to adjust them so that they are fairly comforable. After some time you can get them on in just a few seconds even though at first it seems to take forever. The payoff is not really great sound but it is like these earphones are glued to your ear. This is priority number one for me during vigorous exercise. If that is not your top priority then I'd look elsewhere.
Great for Exercising [Posted on 2004-06-06]
These headphones are lightweight, inexpensive and perfect for people who workout on a regular basis. The ear pieces are clearly labeled for the right and left ear...and the ear pieces move to adjust to your chosen listening position. The headphones are not clunky and stiff like usual plastic models. Additionally, the rubber coating is great for battling sweaty sessions! For earphones that wont make a dent in your wallet- these are truly perfect!
Ouch! [Posted on 2006-01-01]
Like other reviewers have said, these headphones hurt and are difficult to put on. They fall off easily, too. The metal of the speakers are exposed and really rub against the sensitive skin of the inside of your ear, resulting in discomfort. Whoever tested these over at the Philips plant must've had ears of steel, I swear.
The sound quality is lacking as well. The bass reception isn't exactly wonderful.
If you're considering these, turn away immediately. There are many other headphones in this price range that are much more comfortable and better-sounding.
