They also do not stay in my ear as well as my last ear buds, but that could be just me. Bought these for running -- regret it now. Sound quality is good as long as you're relatively still and not outside. They significantly amplify the "whistle" from wind. Cord bouncing also produces a very noticeable clicking noise. I absolutely hate the asymmetrical cord -- real PITA -- doesn't hang down naturally and pulls to one side. Regular ol' Y style cable seems to work best when active.
I know this is really obvious, since it already shows on the front of the package, but the bass hits really hard. If you listen to rock/metal type of music i do not recommend these headphones. These are good for dubstep/dnb/rap/hip hop type of music.
I just wanted some decent "in-ear" headphones as the other headphones really hurt my ears. These are pretty comfortable. The sound quality is not as great as Bose or other expensive headphones, but it works for me.
because they still work unlike some other ones. These earbuds aren't bad at all and really nice for average buds and for the price. I bought em couple years ago and I still use them. Straight 2.0 jacks never works for me cause they always get damages the way I use them but this has L shaped jack and it works perfect for me and the joints and the wire itself is very flexible so they don't break down easily. Only thing I personally didn't like was the the length difference.
My primary comparison is to my repeated purchase of the Philips SHE-9500 earbuds which are now no longer being manufactured. I was of the opinions that anything with the Sennheiser name must be of high quality. I'm not of the belief that you cannot get a quality earbuds for under $30. While others feel spending $30 on a pair of earbuds is a budget purchase, I find it to be a fair amount of money for a simplistic product.I've churned through plenty of earbuds in my day. Despite buying from Amazon for many years, this is my first review. If you want a name brand earbud, look elsewhere. The base quality is poor. They are extraordinarily delicate compared to the now discontinued Philips SHE-9500s.
The major issues are 1) poor quality bass, 2) delicate cord, and 3) poorly fitting earbuds. The Philips have more adjustable fittings, much better bass response, and overall dramatically better build quality. While these headphones are tolerable, I feel the current reviews clearly have these rated nearly comically high. That assumption was quickly proven to be false. The quality of the Philips SHE-9500 ($23) versus these $30 earbuds isn't even a fair fight. I can accept having to purchase a new pair every 9 months or so due to heavy daily use.These earbuds have measurably bad build quality compared to the Philips earbuds. So while this wasn't my worst purchase ever, I feel these earbuds are overrated. Slapping Sennheiser on the package doesn't make these worth your hard earned money.
