Philips HE592 Surround Sound Ear Buds (White)

Summary: Sound great. Fit well. Smart storage solution.
Review: For the money, these are the best in-ear headphones available. They sound better and are way more comfortable than the standard iPod earphones. The $39.99 Apple In-ear headphones sound slightly better, but even with the three different sized ear pieces, they never stayed in, even while you're sittting at your desk.<br /><br />One of the best features about these earbuds is the storage case. The simple, elegant "rubber donut" keeps everything together nicely and there's no worry about a plastic case breaking while in your bag or unweildy wires to untangle. <br /><br />If you're looking for the best on-the-go iPod sound, these are your best bet.

Summary: Sound pretty good, not very comfortable
Review: I bought these at Target in the iPod accessories section. I was looking for something that sounded better than the headphones that came with my iPod and these looked interesting. Im very happy with the sound quality, but they aren't very comfortable. They fit just fine in my ears and don't fall out by themselves, but they just put too much pressure on the walls of my inner ear. There has to be a way for Phillips to make these more comfortable.

Summary: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
Review: I have to say that these earbuds look great in the package. After my standard iPod earphones stopped working I shopped around for a replacement. I like the in-ear style headphones because they are discreet. These looked great, they were even white.
The first thing I noticed after opening them was the odd cord configuration. The cord is split unevenly allowing the cord for one earbud to wrap around the back of your neck to the other ear. The problem is that the cord splits too early leaving a dangling cross section right under your left ear. This tugs on the earbuds which fit horribly.
Yes, they look great but they do not fit in my ears whatsoever; I even tried both attachments. At first I just thought that I was unlucky and my ears are shaped weird... but that's not the case. Every review seems to have the same conclusion: they don't fit.
I will say that they sound great when I hold them up to my ears... but, don't waste your money.

Summary: Finally, ear buds that fit
Review: I have tried about 5 different brands of ear buds. Good and bad, these stay in my ears and sound the best. Are they good for sports or activities? No. They are great for just walking or sitting. Other's will pop out when you turn your head or sneeze. If your looking for sports head phones get behind your ear holders.

Summary: What A Painful Sound
Review: I have what I feel are ear canals that are larger then most people. I cannot for the life of me figure out how these could be comfortable to anyone. The sound is ok, but the pain is not worth it. Worse yet, if you are wearing your audio device on your hip and make a right turn of your upper body the left bud pulls right out because the cord to that side is only say 8 inches long. Bottom Line: Do not buy this piece of junk.

Summary: Great Sound, Bad Fit!!!
Review: I purchased these thinking that like other Phillips products I have had I would be greatly satisfied. Well the sound is great, but the fit of the earpiece is awful! I have small ears, but aparently the size of your ear has nothing to do with it from the looks of the other reviews. Your ear does hurt after and during use. I would not recommend these headphones at all. Painful to use. If you can stand the pain the sound is good, but bad design. Maybe differnt sized caps would help. Hopefully this will prevent others from the same bad mistake I made!!

Summary: great headphones
Review: I read many other reviews about how these buds didnt fit in the ear comfortably. I disagree with these reviews. They are very comfortable and have a second set of neoprene earpieces to fit a different sized ear. great sound. better than the ipod ear buds and cheaper also. the white buds also match my ipod quite nicely. great product. buy it and try it. if you are disappointed, target gives you 90 days to return it.

Summary: Great fit, great sound
Review: Normal earbuds, such as the type that came with my iPod, hurt my ears and fall out constantly - the fit is rotten (maybe I have oddly shaped ears) so the sound quality suffers. But these stay in, fit perfectly, and sound beautiful. The "buds" are soft and pliable, and they're perfect for moderate to high impact cardio machine workouts (such as on the treadmill or elliptical at the gym, which is where I use my iPod most of the time). Reccomended!

Summary: Washes and dries nicely!
Review: So I managed to have my ear-buds run through both the washer and the dryer. The buds where still in the rubber case and the wires where all tangled when I took out the load of blue jeans. I plugged them back into my ipod and what do you know they sound like new! They sound great, fit in my ears well, and even made it through a wash and dry cycle!

Summary: excellent, finally buds that work!
Review: These are the first earbuds that actually sound good AND fit/stay put in my ear! Other earbuds always fell out and made my ears hurt. I notice some people are having trouble with the fit, maybe Phillips or someone else will get a clue and start making 'sized' buds? Otherwise, I love them and they sound incredible. I also like the asymetric design to keep the cord more out of your way, I've always had trouble with that.
