this is a solid ear phone. sounds okay. but certainly no where near Hi-Fi. quite comfortable to wear. it worth 20~30 dollars (which is how much i payed for), but nothing more.
a huge problem. it doesn’t isolated any noise. i have no thought why it is called noise-isolation earphone, as i also own few other in-ear type of earphone that isolate noise perfectly. this pair of ear phone doesn’t even TRY to block outside sound.
potential buy beware, if you are looking for “noise isolation”, look elsewhere, or at least buy it from amazon for simple return policy.
If you plot to use these headphone for exercising (even walking) they are not for you. If you want to use them on the bus or a plane they’d probably work fantastic.
CONS:
- The ear buds for these headphone are more like ear plugs in that they give you that underwater feeling and amplify any sound coming from your body. If you walk or run in them you’ll find the sound of your feet hitting the ground echoing loudly in your ears. Even the brushing of the cord against your body is audible. (Heaven forbid you try to eat with them on). I find them basically unusable for active movement.
- Despite coming with multiple sizes of attachments, the ear buds don’t stay in my ears when I’m moving around. (The default iPhone headphones work a lot better)
- While the ability of the ear buds to block out outside sounds is effective, it is a bit of a safety factor if you are biking or running. It makes it hard to hear what’s going on around you
PROS:
- These headphones really do a pretty excellent job of blocking outside sounds. If you were not moving around much (and thus not picking up body sounds) and in a noisy location like a bus or a plane they could be quite nice.
- Because they block out outside sounds, it allows you to really listen at a lower volume for the same sound quality
- When not moving around the sound quality is really quite excellent
I bought a new Ipod touch,I wanted other head phones other then the ones that came with the Ipod,I didn’t want to spend alot ,I found these at 27.00 so I bought them, I’m not sorry I did,I’ve seen them listed at 79.00 at a store,they do have a very deep bass,but that’s what I wanted, but it doesn’t take away from the other sounds, everything sounds very clear,there were sounds that I never heard before that came thru with these head phones,songs that I had listened to many times before, I’ve used them at the gym and they do block out the music that they play there,I’ve had them on up to 4 hours with no problem very comfortable my ears weren’t sore from wearing them, my only problem with them is now I have to hide them from my kids, I’ve had them for about 2 months I’m very pleased I bought them!!!
I don’t know much about headphones but my research led me to reckon these would be fantastic headphones. They are not excellent for any sort of exercise, they fall out of your ear if you’re doing any sort of running or jumping. The sheath that covers the jack that plugs into your music device also started to slip off after a month of use. Terrible headphones. Would not recommend except to an enemy
THESE EAR BLOGS ARE FANTASTIC I USE THEM WHEN I RUN AND THE SOUND IS FANTASTIC AND THE BUDS STAY IN MY EARS. I HAVE TO STAY AWARE OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU DON’T HEAR IT UNTIL ITS ON YOU. I WEAR THE WIRES UNDER MY SHIRT AND MY SWEAT HAS COURSED SOME OF MY BUDS TO SMALL OUT BUT I HAVE NOT HAD THAT PROBLEM WITH THESE BECAUSE OF THEIR WATER PROVING. FOR ME IT WAS A FANTASTIC BUY AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT.
