4 comments about Innovelis BudFits - Vanilla White.
- I use BudFits primarily when I run. Before I got BudFits, my earbuds would typically fall out of my ears after two or three miles; although, now the BudFits keep the earbuds nested right in my ears for endless miles. I recommend this product 100% to anyone that struggles with earbuds falling out of your ears. Great product!!!
- Budfits are seriously a great idea and I don't know why they haven't been around since the birth of the iPod. I exercise 5 times a week and I travel a lot so I use my iPod a ton. The little tiny headphones that came with the iPod are a joke when you're moving around a lot so this is a true answer to that problem. And the price is really low for what you get.
- Budfits essentially mate with your i-Pod earbuds to turn them into something kind of like a pair of earhook type headphones that you can buy separately. The advantage is that the sound quality of the iPod headphones is maintained and they are a lot cheaper than new headphones. This is a simple and clever product.
- I use Bose earbuds with my Ipod when I'm working out, but the earbuds constantly fall out of my ears. Budfits made a huge difference. Now the earbuds stay securely in place - during the whole workout!
This product is made for IPod earbuds, but it worked surprisingly well with my Bose earbuds.

5 comments about Panasonic RP-HTX7PP-W Retro Style Monitor Headphones (White).
- Afetr reading the reviews I was afraid that these might be crap. I am using them to practice DJing at home and am very happy with them. I know that there are better headphones out there but was drawn to these because of the hip design. They have a nice warm bass to them that reminds me of being at a big club or party with a heavy sound system. I'll probaby give a pair of these as a gift to a friend that listens to music at home.
- The Panasonic RP-HTX7PP headphones are exactly what I was looking for: fun. They're elegantly designed (as is the packaging), lightweight, and sound good to me. They are much more effective than earbuds at dampening the surrounding background noise, but don't shut you out completely.
- I never recieved this order. Amazon is retarded. How hard is it to deliver something? i want my @#$@ money back. NOW!
- Its been almost a month that I am using this headset. I didn't think that in this much less cost I will get a quite satisfactory product. The headset is quite comfortable and is adjustable. Its headband strap is too good. It doesn't pull your hair. Moreover the sound clarity is awesome. Well if u are too much concerned about the every beat of the music and the extra details then this might not be your choice. I think you should go for sony or Boss in that case. But still you can hear the sound very clearly. I would definitely recommend this within $30 for its comfortness and sound clarity.
I rated it as 4 because I am comparing the sound clarity with Sony and Boss. Otherwise w.r.t price it can be rated as 5.
- These are quality sound for everyday use. They look way cool too! Definitely a great deal, b/c I've been comparison shopping this item for a few weeks before I purchased it from Amazon. As always, awesome shipping.

5 comments about Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Earphones (Black).
- I'm pretty picky about what I use to listen to music... I used to have the Sennheiser PX100's and the problem with those is that they require some serious equalization when listening to an ipod. Problem? Ipod's equalization is horrible.
Well these UE Super.fi 5 Pro's require absolutely no equalization for portables, and sound brilliant. I've owned a set of these before, but they were never available in black until now. Thats not the only change though--
My favorite update is the case. It came with a case before, but it was too frustrating to fit the phones inside! There was a rubber separator and I guess you were supposed to fit the cord through the bottom half, and then rest the earphones on the top half... *sigh*.
This NEW case seems larger, if only because it doesn't have that barrier in the middle. Its also lined with a soft microfiber fabric.
I've run into ONLY ONE issue, and its a small one-- If you are using these with a PC with built-in motherboard sound, these phones are so sensitive that you will hear motherboard noise (for instance, when you move your mouse or click a button you can hear faint hums and buzzes, choreographed to your movements).
I recommend buying a PCI-card with a good Signal-to-Noise ratio.
- I just got these things...haven't even looked at the book yet...just opened them up and plugged them into my Iphone 3G and WOW....great sonic impact...a lot of punch to my music. I am very satisfied and what's really cool is the volume is much higher without turning it up real loud...halfway to full volume is loud on my Iphone...never could get it loud enough even at full volume with the Apple (junk) earphones that come with the Iphone. I didn't plan on spending this much for earphones but if you use them a lot and appreciate great sound from your music equipment, these shouldn't be a second thought. Dual drivers sound way better than the single drivers found on the similarly priced Shure models. Don't know how durable they are but time will tell. I listen to a lot of older Billy Joel (Turnstiles, The Stranger, Piano Man album) and these songs really come to life with these earphones. Using these earphones is like listening to your music on a high qualilty home stereo whereas the standard earphones that come with the Apple Iphone sound tinny. Another thing is that even at loud volumes for an extended period of time, my ears didn't hurt or ring afterwards (maybe because the sound is clean compared to junk earphones). I think the ear loops are a great thing as they hold them to your ears more securely. Just bend them enough to mold to your size of your ear and you really don't have to do it again. The only thing is that putting the earphones in the square case that comes with them is great for protection and taking them on the go, you have to really wind them up small to fit them in it and when you take them out again to use, you sort of have to re-bend the loops to fit your ears. Not sure how that will hold up but they do have a two year warranty...the Triple Fi 10's (another Ultimate Ears model) only come with a one year warranty. I can't imagine anyone not liking these earphones (the Super Fi 5 Pro's) unless you just can't get used to the loops going behind and over your ears...it is a different method than most others but once you get that figured out, the music is GREAT !!!
- Excellent sounding headphones! Powerfull, hard and deep bass, very loud and gratifying trebles even at high levels. Sometimes a little uncomfortable by wearing. Nevertheless I highly recommend this headphones! :)
- After purchasing this product I was dismayed that the standard flanges didn't fit me, that's when I tried the foam ones and they worked! They created a good seal in my ear and were comfortable. Listeining to some music I was very satisfied on how the sound was reproduced. Bass was there and it wasn't booming or thumpy. Middle range and high were crisp and clear. I guess it all comes down to the quality of your music collection, low bit mp3 will come through on these audiophile level earbuds. So make sure your music collection is up to par.
- These are the best headphones I have ever owned. I've been able to stack them up against the Shure's some friends of mine own and we all agree the Ulimate Ears are the best. Money well spent.

5 comments about Sony Mdrnc22/Blk Noise Canceling Headphone (Black).
- I really like this headphone. The noise canceling function is working fine for me. It's the best choice for in-ear headphone with noise canceling.
- I've had these for over a year and done about 10 airplane trips of between 3 and 7 hours with them. I've never traveled with any other noise-canceling headphones so I don't have a lot against which to compare these.
I like them very much. On a plane they greatly reduce ambient noise and make air travel more pleasant. The "monitor" button is useful for talking to airline attendants or listening to announcements.
My only gripe is the silicone earplugs... if they fall off (and they can) then you can't use the headphone at all, which can really be a drag on a long flight (ask me how I know).
Battery life is long enough. The on/off switch could be a little bit better protected from accidental turn-on, but this has only been an issue once for me. Now I just carry an extra battery... no worries.
Finally: I'd like a hard-side case that helps keep the cord from tangling as it does tangle easily.
I would buy them again. For sure.
- These earphones are FANTASTIC. I used them during a recent trip to England, and they by far exceeded my expectations. They were as good or better than some of the around the ear headphones that I have tried. Plus, the price couldn't be beat. I was very pleased with the battery life, too. I would say that the battery lasted about 20 hours before I had to replace it. I highly recommend these earphones.
- These are my first set of noise cancelling earbuds and I must admit I was a bit skeptical about them but I'll never go without them anymore. I first used them on an 8 hour flight and I didn't feel tired after I arrived and no usual headaches. The design of the earbud is very comfortable with the included earpiece adapters and most importantly they don't fall out of my ears like other designs. Battery life is approximately 40 hours of use and I like the remote switch and monitor button (mute) feature. Highly recommended and I will buy these again so should you. The low price from amazon was the icing on the cake. Haven't found a lower price anywhere!
- Noice cancelling ear phones are the best thing to happen to music since the invention of sliced white bread.

5 comments about 3.5mm Stereo Headphone Extension 15 ft. Straight.
- It is a 15 foot headphone extension cable. I use them for extending the headset cord for my boom operator. They work great until he steps on them.
Sound is fine, connectors seem to be fine, but the cable jackets aren't the most durable out there. No problem for indoor static setup, but these aren't ready for prime time and aren't durable enough to use reliably on a movie set.
- came in a couple days. works fine. Shipping was more than the product, but overall still cheap. gold contacts and quality ends...a good buy.
- I ordered a 15ft 3.5mm stereo headphone extension cord, and that's what I got. However, it wasn't the cord in the picture that the other reviews are based on. It didn't have separately insulated wires or gold-plated connectors. It worked, but the sound started cutting out after less than a month. Maybe they just sent the wrong cord, or maybe they don't offer the better kind anymore. If you go ahead an order one, I'd suggest checking it as soon as you get it to make sure it's the cord advertised here.
- Had this for almost two years because my computer jack is too far away to reach. Now I have found multiple uses for it. I can walk on my treadmill in my basement without having to turn up the volume on my tv. I just hook this up to the receiver and to my headphones, and I'm all set. I can even listen/watch media on my laptop with this extender while on the treadmill too. For the price, it's an excellent bargain.
- I live in a Senior apartment complex that has a strict curfew on noise. No one is allowed to play their TV's or stereo's after 9 pm. So I knew I had to resort to headphone listening. My recliner is a good distance away from my TV and my headphones did not extend far enough. I bought this and now I relax in my recliner and listen to my TV as loud as I want and as late as I want:) It works great!

5 comments about Koss UR5 Stereo Headphones with Foam Ear Cushions.
- These are a good deal in that the cost is less than four dollars presently from Amazon and come with an extra set of foam ear cushions - a really good deal! Odd things though about these are that 1) the fit is tight and exerts noticeable pressure on ears - great for winter when you really want that ear muff function, but a bit too tight otherwise, (might be good for children), and 2) in my set for my ears the sound seems somewhat muffled and bass oriented compared with other sets I've used. Update: the cost in July 2008 is now more than nine dollars but I want to report that these have held up well, am still on the first of the two sets of foam ear cushions and the connector plug, often a weak point in headsets, has proven strong. The clamping effect I noticed at first has lessened and the headset is not too tight after wearing them nearly every day for four months. Really a tough headset.
- The Koss UR5 Stereo Headphones are exactly what we wanted, at a price we can certainly afford. The headphones are comfortable, lightweight, open (so you can hear car horns honking at you, or someone who needs your attention), and have very good sound quality. These are headphones you don't have to worry about falling out of your ear (like the ones that supposedly fit in your ear) and they stay on your head well while you are out walking.
We are very pleased.
- I'm really happy with these headphones. They are light, so they are great for long walks, and the sound quality is very good. So, considering the fact that they don't cost very much, I'm very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to others.
- Koss UR5 Stereo Headphones with Foam Ear Cushions
I purchased these to use with my SanDisk player, primarily for a long flight, and then later at the gym. The headphones work well, are comfortable and provide excellent sound. My only complaint, and I'm not sure whether it's the headphone jack or the player, is that the jack will easily slip out.
- These are inexpensive and sound like it. I knew what I would get when I placed the order. I got what I paid for. Not angry. not disappointed. I have had many KOSS products since I bought my Pro4AAs in 1975. I own several pair now and will continue to buy KOSS. I guess these are good if you listen to books on tape or something.

3 comments about Skullcandy INK'D Earbuds - Silver.
- These earbuds like most other sound isolating earbuds I have tried can be annoying to wear if you are moving around a lot. Since the earbuds make a tight seal inside your ear, any movement in the cable will be conducted through to your ears. Therefore, I would not recommend these for wearing during a workout. This is not a fault of these earbuds alone but every pair that I have ever tried, so I will not knock these earbuds on that basis. That being said these are great earbuds, just don't buy them for jogging.
The sensitivity of these buds is much better than my standard iPod earbuds and several other aftermarket earbuds that I have tried (Panasonic, Altec Lansing, Phillips). I have probably tried 5 or so different sets of earbuds in the $20-$40 range over the last few years and after a little break-in time and finding the right size gel pad (3 sizes are included) to fit your ears these easily blow them all away. The bass, midrange and high end are all good. These really shine in the bass and low mids compared to most other earbuds and since they are so sensitive you can keep the volume lower and save battery life on your player. You will hear things that you have never heard before in your music, especially if you are using the standard issue buds.
Since there are 3 different gels to choose from as far as fit, these are also more comfortable for long listening sessions then other earbuds I have tried. They also offer good sound isolation, so these are great for work or in a moving vehicle.
They are light in your ears, light on your battery and light on your wallet while providing excellent sound. Give them a little break-in time and you will love them... I did.
- I have had 3 pairs of i-pod earbuds and they have broken down every time within 3 months ,of good care at low volume use. This spending spree has cost me $150 in total. So I decided to give these a try for $15.99. They are more compfortable than the i-pod earbuds(which felt like arock in my ear!).They are so soft that if their is no music playing i forget that their in my ear. Also these block outside sounds much better than i-pod ear buds(cost$50)!
I highly suggest these:
1. They cost under $20!
2. They are great at blocking out outside noises ,so their is no need to crank up the volume!
3. They look really cool!
4. They are durable and will(with good care)last you a long time!
- I recently bought a pair of SkullCandy Ink'd Black headphones at Target for $16.99, quite a deal in my opinion. The night before I was considering buying SkullCandy Hesh headphones but I decided I would hold off another day and read some reviews on other SkullCandy headphones. The next day at school my friend and I were sitting in computer class, and I happened to mention to him that I was thinking about buying some SkullCandy headphones but I wasn't sure what kind. He pulled out a black pair of SkullCandy Ink'd headphones and told me they were great and he let me try them out. My first impression was, "this are earbuds they won't have the bass and noise isolation that bigger, cupped headphones would have", but I was ver wrong. I began to the play the song " Ready For Whatever" by T.I., a very bass heavy song, and without warning i began to feel thumping bass like I had never heard before even with normal-sized headphones. The next thing I noticed was that my friend was trying to talk to me, but I couldn't hear a thing he was saying, or anyone else for that matter. I was amazed such small earbuds could pack such a bass punch and isolate noise as well as these could. I asked him how much he paid and he said he got them for around $15 at Target. I was amazed at how cheap these were, but how good the sound quality was! Another friend of mine had a p[air of SkullCandy Hesh headphones and when I tried them on the bass was only a little more then on these 15$ headphones! I took off after school and went to my nearest Target and bought a pair for me and my friend, and I'm very impressed with the price and features it has. If there are any negetives on these earbuds its the fact that whenever you brush up against the cord it is very obvious in the headphones, but that is not a very big deal. They are comfortable, and the package comes with 3 different sizes of buds in case your ears are large or small. Overall I am very pleased with this product, and I will definatly spread the word on these SkullCandy headphones.
SOUND QUALITY: 9/10 (Bass is A+, Mids and Highs are A)
PORTABILITY: 10/10
VALUE: 10/10 (At $15 these headphones are the steal of the year)
COMFORTABLE: 8/10 (Sometimes the earbuds come out, but this is rare)
DURABILITY: 8.5/10 (Earbuds are plastic, but they feel sturdy enough)
OVERALL: 9/10
I would definatly buy these again if they ever broke, and SkullCandy offers a lifetime warrenty if they ever malfunction so that is even better. If you break them by accident SckullCandy will fix them for half the original price.

5 comments about V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds - Blue Steel.
- These buds work great if your player has little or no bass ONLY! If your player has even ok bass these buds will "clip" (distort) bass (great for Zen StoneCreative Zen Stone Plus 2 GB MP3 Player (Black) player not good for Zen VCreative Zen V Plus 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black/Blue)). These buds a very sensitive too which means tiny players with tiny batteries last longer per charge.
- Sounds great..I use it with my ipod..I also use it with my laptop & my portable DVD player..Bass sounds great..Treble does too!!
- a bit too bassy and muffled but perfect when you adjust the EQ on your Ipod. It sounds amazing even on the subway!
- If you own a Creative player, then you NEED these. Now, they don't go all the way in the ear canal and you have to find the right fit for them, but they are perfect!! I listen to Hip Hop, R&B, Club, Electro, House, and every one of these sounds great!!! They don't have "too much bass" as some people like to say. Get these, I know I am getting another pair right now.
- It only took a month for this piece of junk to stop working, sound only comes out of one side now. Sound quality and fit were good, but what does it matter if they don't work?

- I have very sensitive hearing and with these I can hear both the live music and conversations with my friends (without coming out of the show deaf). For the price this is a complete no-brainer purchase for anyone who likes live music.
- These are much better than foam earplugs. everything's clear. First thing I did when I got them was test them out in a movie theater. Watched the whole movie with no problems. There is quite a bit of in-head noise, like breathing and chewing, but it is great for when I'm singing because I can hear myself clearly over the rest of the band.

5 comments about Jabra BT620s Bluetooth Headphone.
- I got these when they came out and I was very impressed at the time but if you are really into sound quality go with the Sony DR-BT50. Otherwise these are a solid pair of headphones and the microphone is pretty good.
- I've tried a wide variety of bluetooth devices for my cellphone. The biggest issue for me is being able to hear well while on the phone. This headset solves the issue hands down. The microphone offers noise cancelled and "land line" quality to other party. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase.
- Great product, works well w/ computer and phone. Great quality, easy to set up and use. Unfortunatly, you have to turn the blue lights off every time you turn them on or they flash fairly quickly
- If you are like me, you have struggled with headphone wires your entire life. I would envy those in the gym jamming out to their favorite tunes and I would wish I could bare the wires which always seemed to get tangled in a machine or snag on cables.
I purchased this pair of headphones and have been nothing but impressed and utterly satisfied. The price is $90 less than BestBuy sells it for and it works every bit as well. You can run with these and they do not move or bounce on your ears. They are sweat proof, I have a tendency to work out with a vigorous intensity and I perspire quite a bit, these hold up nicely.
I do not mind the flashing lights, in fact, when running or jogging at night it's a great secondary safety measure to save you from being struck down by an automobile or by deer.
If you are debating between this pair and the motorolla set, stop what you're doing and purchase these. The Fit and Finish, the quality of the product and the sound quality are far and away superior to the Motorolla set which I had to return 3 times.
- I've had these for a few weeks now, and I'm glad I bought them. They paired immediately with my phone, but connecting them to my computer at the same time took some doing. Disabling phone services in the bluetooth device properties did the trick.
After reading other reviews, I was worried that these would be uncomfortable, but for me, they are easy to wear for long periods. They are tight and sort of grip your head, which takes some of the weight off your ears. This works very well for me (with previous behind the neck headphones I've had trouble with the weight om my ears), but I can see how some might find it intolerable.
One thing I find annoying is that it is too easy to hit the button on the left ear while lying down, leaning my head on the couch, etc. One push hangs up in a phone call, and a few can redial the last number when not in a call, so this can be a problem. Also I think there should be a dedicated on/off button. But in general they work well, and very importantly, they are comfortable (for me, anyway).
