Most Critical Review

Like the look and sound, but unreliable quality.

Rosewill R-Studio E-550 Noise Isolating Earbuds, Aluminum Housing, 3.5mm Connector

Pros: For the price, looks great, feels like quality, and has nice weight so it does not feel as disposable as many in this range. When it works, it sounds very good. When it works, that is.

Cons: After a few weeks, left bud developed distortion and lost volume. IIRC, it came in one of those impossible plastic packages that get destroyed upon opening, so returning w/ original packaging intact unlikely (I usually throw away torn plastic scraps) unless you plan on it and open surgically (I had not, unfortunately). So maybe one should plan on it, just in case you also get a dud like so many do. (I have a miniature MP3 player and listen only at medium volume, so it was not likely to be abuse.)

Overall Review: Always bothered me why "all original packaging" is required if it's not really useful. Maybe, statistically, it reduces the number of returns that need to be handled by the vendor and/or manufacturer? Oh well. Guess I am out of luck.
