Summary: A lot of bang for your buck
Review: After spending mega-bucks on an new iPod, I lost the headphones that came with it. Bummer, but it did lead me to discover these little gems. First off, don't expect $70 sound out of these guys. If you are a true audiophile, spend the money to buy the headphones you really want or we'll all have to listen to your bitter bitching later. That said, I was impressed with the sound quality and the punch of the bass these headphones delivered for their low price. These are also the most comfortable earbuds I've ever tried on. The little clip slips over your ears to keep them steady while you're jogging, biking, or just bending over to tie your shoe. Conclusion? Comfort, acceptable sound quality, and super-sleek design all at a very acceptable price!

Summary: These kick!
Review: First of all, just so you know, I am NOT an audiophile. I'm simply a person with a two-hour commute each way who likes to keep her ears busy with music and audiobooks. I recently purchased an Ipod, and, after getting tired of having the earbuds fall out, purchased these to replace those that came with the Ipod. I love them. Not being an audiophile, I would hesitate to rave about the sound, but I have had NO complaints with it whatsoever. The sound is loud enough, clear enough, and true enough, to come through richly and warmly even on a noisy bus. They don't tend to fall off (even if I fall asleep in them), and they take up no space in my already packed purse. I highly recommend these.

Summary: Great ear buds for those on the go.
Review: First off, these are NOT the best headphones made. However if you like ear buds and are moving/walking/running/etc these are a GREAT pick. They sound decent for $12 headphones but they actually stay in your ears as you move and are fine for periods of longer wear. I personally have used 30-40 pairs of headphones under $60 and these are one of my favorites. I am listening to them right now while they sit next to my Bose and my Sony studio headphones. If you have too much bass, then adjust that in your device, its not a problem for me.

Review: Great headphones. Earbuds always fall out on me, and a lot of the clips are annoying in one way or another, whether it be they squeese to tight or are difficult to get on; but these are great, i can hardly notice them on, and the quality is pretty good. Unfortunately the right ear stopped working after about a year...and so did my friend's. Hmmm....odd. I think they are still good anyway.

Summary: They are ok
Review: I bought these headphones at Best Buy expecting some good sound quality, i was wrong. First off, the bass is far too much, it drownes out all other sounds, and ruins the overall quality. Also, the clips do not fit behind the ear. There is much slack, thus they do not stay on very well. The clips also bend easy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for the price, but not a superb value
Review: I bought these to replace some Sony clipon headphones that died. For the price I got them at ($9.99), they work wonderfully. They are very comfortable, the foam is somewhat durable, unlike other brands, and they won't fall out of your ear like earbuds usually do. The clips are easily adjustable to fit however large your ear is. These headphones are also VERY portable with a small mp3 player. The red/silver combo looks very sharp and nice also.

The sound quality is good for the price, but is not very good if you are a picky audiophile. The sound is quite tinny, and you end up pressing them very far into your ear if you really want to hear the bass. Volume doesn't go very high either before becoming indistinguishable.

I've been using (and abusing) my set for about 6 months now with my Sony Discman CD player (on usually pretty high volume), and neither side has lost volume, the ear foam is still in good shape, and nothing is broken or physically or mechanically wrong with it. If you are looking for a true audio experience I would spend a little bit more and buy some better quality headphones, such as the Sony MDR-G72 collapsable behind the neck headphones.

I give these about a 3 and 1/2 stars, but since that isn't an option I'll just round up to 4 stars. The amazon price of $12 is fairly competitive.

Summary: A waste of money
Review: I bought these to run with but I'm not able to get a snug fit. I've tried to bend them to fit but no luck. They keep falling off. As with all headphones of this type the sound is not very good. I've bought much cheeper headphones with sportclip which work for the purpose of running. These do not! Atleast not for me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worked great for me
Review: I have to wonder whether some of the people posting negative reviews are actually using these properly. It's a bit of a pain getting them inserted properly, what with one piece that has to go fully into the ear and another that goes over. If you just sort of hang them over your ear of course the sound quality is going to be awful, but if they're in properly the sound seems totally acceptable - comparable to either my AKG or Sennheiser earmuffs, for example. Are you going to be able to crank up the volume all the way and feel your teeth rattle? Of course not! At reasonable and even fairly high volumes, though, the fidelity including bass is just fine. These beat the stuffing out of the Sony EX51s I reviewed last, which truly were junk for twice the price.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Buy
Review: I never cared much for earbuds as it was too much or a chore to keep them from falling out of my ears. The earclips work very well on these to keep them properly inserted and they feel very light. The sound is good although perhaps a little heavy on the bass. Thats probably what a lot of people are looking for though. Overall I like them and am happy with my purchase.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bass is nice
Review: I recently purchased these, and the first song i listened to was Boom from P.O.D. And all i have to say is that these pack a pretty powerful bass system for their small design. I have previous experience w/ Koss products and these are the best earphones theyve made for this low of a price. Buy these if you want something great for the price!!
