5 out of 5 eggsGreat for the price

Pros: Great in-ear headphones for the price. I got them when they were at sale for $17 and they are great for the price. The build quality is pretty darn good and they fit in my ears very snugly... I am not even trying to listen hard but I can hear much much better tone and clarity and my music is now... Now i am already getting a bug to get the Sennheiser HD600... that is a lot more expensive but I am sure it will meet all my needs nicely :D :D

Cons: for the price, you gotta be kidding me to have any con

Other Thoughts: none at the moment

5 out of 5 eggsGreat value.

Pros: Very good bang for buck. Balanced highs and lows. Excellent for silencing background noise. Decent bass. Seals well into ear and doesn't fall out.

Cons: Slight background hissing audible when there's no sound playing, this is due to the fact that it seals into the ear so well and suppresses noise.

Other Thoughts: I bought these for 17 bucks. They are worth a lot more than that. Considering trying out some bigger Sennheisers for my stationary needs.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome headphones for the buck

Pros: The in-ear headphones are shipped with a pouch and three adapters.
It has a built-in volume control which is neat when you workout or running.
The base and mids are just right. The trebles are fainted on purpose.
It has a good sound stage.

Overall a very good pair of headphones. Plus the pouch fits my Sansa Clip(on sale) just right.

Cons: NONE

4 out of 5 eggsQuality earbuds with good quality sound

Pros: Once you find the earpiece that fits your ear, the overall sound quality is above any earbuds I've used and any headphones I've used that cost less than $60, ofcourse this is just my opinion. The build quality is great, sometimes I'll fall asleep with these in and put alot of stress on the cord.

Cons: The sound adjustment does this dumb thing where at certain points in it, the sound levels become unbalanced, like becomes very quiet on left and same on right, very annoying and because of it I only use it for full quietness or full loudness.

2 out of 5 eggshigh quality brand name, noisy cables.

Pros: Sennheiser CX 280 High Perfomance Earbuds with Dynamic Sound
great brand name, known for high quality. sound is very clear, no noticeable distortion. Comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Other Thoughts: works well when stationary

5 out of 5 eggsSounds Great !

Pros: Read about this model in an audio report and had just missed a good price at the time. Waited about 6 months and Newegg had this model at a bargain price so I jumped at it. Excellent sound and they are very comfortable. Also the volume control is a big plus so it was all worth the wait

Cons: None so far

2 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Inline volume control

Cons: Terrible sound quality.

Thin cable that most likely won't last.

90 degree plug.

Other Thoughts: I bought these when they were on sale for $20. Overall they are the worst earbuds/headphones I have ever heard, they sound about the same as free airline earbuds..

I already received a refund and RMA'd these.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat earbuds for the price

Pros: The semi long cord, volume control, and the three different sizes of earbuds.

I use them to play Counter Strike and I must admit, they are pretty good for all types of sounds. I use them very rarely to listen to music but when I do they sound good. The bass is not over powering and I am NOT much of a heavy bass person so it really doesn't matter. The Noise Isolating is very good for me, at about level 35-40 on Windows volume whatever you are playing through them is pretty much all you hear. So you don't have to have them at full blast on the OS side that is. I usually have the volume control all the way up just because.

Cons: I always want a clip on the cord so that I can use it on my clothes...I had an older pair of earbuds that had a clip and I loved them! These don't have a clip, and I know I have read that they can have some noise coming from the cord and that is true, why I would like a clip to keep them from jumping around, but then again I don't use them to run or workout so the noise that they produce from me just moving my head is really not noticeable since I am not gaming while running down the road ;). Also, I tend to like earbuds/headphones that do NOT have an angle at the tip, these do... I usually have them on my computer, but if I am using them on my phone to listen to music I am always afraid that I'm either going to break the phone jack or snap the cord...

Other Thoughts: All in all though, they have a nice cord length, volume control and the noise isolating is good. They do not have a clip on the cord, and they do produce some cord noise as well as having the angle tip but at the end of the day they good earbuds, just depends what you need them for. I caught them on sale for under $20 so I can't beat that.
