I am surprised how well they fit and stayed put without feeling too tight or irritating. Now, they are earphones, so the important factor is sound. Wow. I am older, so let's be clear... Even though I enjoy music, the dynamic range of most products exceed my ears' capabilities. Now, given that caveat, these earphones provide crisp, clean, clear highs, and a surprisingly full bass. Have not seen any of the quality issues with construction. They came with soft pad covers for each earbud, but I have been using them without the pads with no problems or discomfort. I would certainly recommend these to others, especially at this price. Was this review helpful?

Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. I have only been using the headphones for two weeks. Yesterday, the silver cover on the ear bud speaker just fell off. It does not seem to go back on, and without it, the ear bud is very uncomfortable in my ear. Very disappointing, because the headphones have good sound and stay on your head. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 Great Product, Short Life Written By BeckyJ, Big Rapids, MI on Saturday, December 31, 2011 I have to rate these earphones as unsatisfactory since I needed them to last more than 6 months. Pros: These earphones worked well and fit nicely. I liked being able to adjust the volume w/o having to find the player's volume control and I liked the clip to fasten and control the cords. Cons: However, after about 6 months of use instead of being stereo earphones they became mono because the right earphone stopped working. That was, of course, quite annoying. Was this review helpful?
