almost priceless [Posted on 2008-07-02]
I've never reviewed anything on amazon before, but with the quality of these ear buds, and the lack of reviews, i figured i should put my 2 cents in.
First of all the sound quality is great, I listen to a variety of electronic music and metal. the treble comes through bright and clear, the snare and cymbals sound like they pop out of the ear phones, and the bass kicks very hard, harder than i thought any ear buds could, also the bass is really clear, as many of us that listen to metal know, the bass is often difficult to hear over the guitars, with these though, that is not a problem. the noise cancellation is also very good, if i turn my music up to half volume i cant here anything around me.
Aside from how great they sound another great thing about them is that they are made out of a gold-aluminum alloy, so they are very solid, (plus they look cool!) I find them very comfortable, in fact i can barely feel them. the comment made in another post about the cord not tangling is also very true, it is a little thin, as are most headphone cords, it actually made me a little iffy on buying them, (i have broken 4 pairs of ear buds in the past 8 months) if these had a cloth cover over the cord to protect it more than the rubberized plastic one, these headphones would be priceless to me, and considering they did only cost 20 bucks, and the fact that they are virtually perfect means that its probably in your best interest to order a pair.
Finnally earbuds that fit [Posted on 2008-08-18]
I looked around for sometime trying to find reasonably priced, comfortable earbuds and I finally found them. These came with the different sized earpieces so it's easy to find the right size that fits you. They are comfortable, I wore them for hours on long bus trips and they didn't bother my ears at all like the ones that came with my iPod. The sound was good on the apple ones, but after about 3 minutes I found myself haveing to make sure they were not falling out of my ears and after about 7 minutes they were already making my ears hurt because they were to big. The Sound Squared earbuds are light weight, they fit, and are very comfortable and they sound great aswell. They only thing that I was not pleased about is the fact that the cable is not angled where you actully plug it in to your device, It is just straight. I am a little concerned that it might develope a weak spot in the wire because of this. I've just tried to be carefull and not cause any extra stress to the wire. Also not to pleased that the wire is so long, once again more margine for weak spots developing in the wire. Other than that very pleased with the earbuds and I thought they were very resonably priced as well.
Updated Review!! [Posted on 2008-09-24]
OK, this review replaces my earlier review. First off, as stated in my previous review, the headphones are very comfortable and isolate sound well. I get a very good quality sound with good bass response. Overall, I think these are a great value.
In my original review, I discussed a short near the 1/4" jack that had occurred after about one month of use. The sound to one side was cutting out periodically. As I stated in my previous review, the cable is pretty thin and not very robust and needs to be treated carefully. Another small gripe is that the rubber ear pieces come off easily. I've almost lost one 4 or 5 times. The headphones come with some other ear pieces in different sizes. However, they ARE different sizes. So, if you lose the one that fits best, you may not get a great fit with the other pieces.
Now for the update (and the good part). I was ready just to move on with my life without calling them about my issue. However, after I posted my review, a representative from SOUNDXTC contacted ME via e-mail after reading my review and offered to replace the headphones for free (even though the 30-day guarantee period had already passed). Sure enough, I received my replacement headphones within a few days and they are working perfectly. Customer service like that is rare and very much appreciated. I have no doubt that this company will handle any issues that may come up with these headphones. So...for the price, these earphones are worth 5 stars. For the service I give it a 6th Star... if that's possible.
Good set of inexpensive earbuds [Posted on 2008-11-16]
Any pair of earbuds tends to hurt my ears after an hour or so, and this pair is no different....but no worse, either. So, if you are not bothered by earbuds, these are great. They cancel enough ambient noise so that you can just float off into your own little world, which is nice.
average, but the price was impressive [Posted on 2008-11-17]
paid around 20 dollars, very cheap and expected cheap. After using them for 3 months, these are the 50 dollar pair for 20 dollars. I am happy with the purchase and would recommend to anyone, but be advised, these do not compare to the 100 dollar pair but so what.....
