1. This item is strategicaly packaged to look like an Apple Product, but don't be fooled like I was. They sound horrible!!



2. I had pre-ordered these from months back and I anticipated their release and arrival...... Terrible!! I'm only giving them 1 star because they thats the lowest available. Don't be fooled, these are terrible, the sound is horrible, no bass, no treble, just distortion and the worst sound ever!. I was fooled to think i could get a good deal on a headset that would deliver a good sound for a good price. If you're looking for affordable headphones with great sounds go with "koss" - "the spark plug". They cost about 15$ and the sound is the best i have ever experienced from an affordable set of headphones. They rival Bose's sound. Anyway these are not worth it, you get what you pay for and Jwin earphones such as these are a complete rip-off!. If you don't really care about the reviews and you want to throw your money away on junk like this then just send me the money instead and i will send you 2 styrofoam cups connected with nylon string that you can plug into your audio device. As funny as it sound you will get a better sound than with these.



3. After receiving the item i immediately tested them. the sound quality was horrible. its as if you were in an underwater cave and all u hear is the bass. Also, they are quite difficult to get into your ears, like honestly who thought of these things.



4. I bought this Earphone because I had one before and I broken it so I bought a new one!!



5. jWIN electronics, the company that makes these, should be ashamed to have such horrible headphones. I bought these on a whim because I had forgotten my $10 Sony headphones and these made some of my best music sound like garbage. There's very little base and for being in ear headphones you can hear everything around you. Pretty much sounds like someone is playing music over the phone. I never made a bad comment on a product, but this is what I get for buying something without doing research. People that think these are good obviously never had truly good headphones. Also, just read the moron's comment that gave these 5 starts, it's graet.

3 comments about Canon Pro Neck Strap 1 for all EOS Cameras.

1. I loved every aspect of this strap until one of the plastic buckles broke and dumped my 20d on the asphalt. ouch!! I just replaced it with the Op/Tech pro loop strap, which has much more subtantial buckles. The Op/Tech seems to be a much better strap for 10 bucks less.



2. My Canon 20D weighs about 5 pounds by itself and when purchased, included this durable fabric neck strap. The supplied neck strap is simple, basic, and advertises Canon boldly. That may be okay if you don't make much use of the strap or use light weight lenses. Take my camera however, and add any one of my heavy L lenses to it. The supplied neck strap can still do the job, but quickly becomes a pain in the neck.
   
   Some people may feel the bold advertising brings attention to their camera equipment, causing one to think thieves are paying closer attention to them. While I think the camera itself is enough to get a thieves attention, I don't really know if this is a legit concern.
   
   If you are looking to replace your camera strap, I would recommend saving some cash and consider the Tamrac N-45 foam padded leather camera strap with quick release buckles instead. For about $10 US less, the Tamrac N-45 quick-release padded leather camera strap provides comfort, durability, and convenience.
   
   PROS:
   Durable construction
   
   CONS:
   A pain in the neck when used with heavy cameras



3. I have the Canon Powershot S3IS. This is a great camera but the neck strap that came with it was poor quality and too short. Canon makes an upgraded leather strap for the Powershot S3IS but I did not like the looks of it either. I bought this a strap at a camera store the salesman allowed me to try it on before buying it. The strap fits through the S3IS buckles. I was afraid it would be too thick. At first I thought it looked a little dorky this huge strap on my camera but it is so much more comfortable to wear than my old strap and then if you add accessory lenses to the S3IS it is really nice. No one has commented to me yet about an EOS strap on a lesser Powershot camera. It is too bad Canon does not make a quality strap like this with Powershot embroidered on it. I would highly recommend this to anyone with the S3IS or the new S5IS.

3 comments about Pro Cable in ear iPhone Headphones with Microphone and Play/Pause Button in Black.

1. I needed a backup for the headset that came with my iPhone and this one certainly works well, but the control for answering calls or pausing the music is not as conveniently located as the one that comes witht he iphone. The left ear bud that has the control has a much shorter cable than the right one, which makes it easy to easily know which is right and which is left. The sound quality is very good and I would recommend this product.



2. I bought these directly from RadTech when they came out. I must say I wasn't expecting much for $25, but these things are awesome. They fit and sound way better than the apple headset. Also, the uneven cord design is nice because you can easily tell which is left and right and it allows u to throw the longer cord around your neck so you can easily pop them out and let them hang on your shoulder without them falling to the floor. The mic and phone/music control button work as advertised. I would recommend to anyone looking for a replacement headset for the iPhone!



3. RadTech's ProCable is an in-ear headset designed for use with the iPhone. The headset includes a speaker for using the phone feature on the iPhone. The narrow plug is also compatible with first generation iPhones with the recessed jack.
   
   Unlike the earbud style headset that comes with the iPhone, where the speakers sit just inside your ear, the ProCable is an in-ear solution, where the speakers are fitted inside the ear canal. This helps isolate sound from the speaker from extraneous sounds. ProCable comes with two sets of interchangeable tips for the speakers. I would have liked to see one or two more sizes included, as the small tip was too small and the large was a bit too big. I reckon a medium would have been just right.
   
   The microphone for the ProCable is located at the juncture of the two speaker cables. This is also where the talk button is located. Initially I found the talk button to be too close to the speaker, simply because I couldn't see the switch. However, after just a bit of use I actually preferred having the switch positioned as it is. The cables are asymmetric from the juncture, with the cable being longer to one ear than the other. I personally don't care for this type of cable design but it is a common style in headphones. The included clip (detachable) helps keep the cables from pulling the speakers from your ears.
   
   The speakers and microphone worked well and as expected during phone use. Being able to tuck my iPhone in my pocket and work interchangeably between phone and music with just a click of the talk button on the cable is nice.
   
   I found the audio quality for music to be surprisingly good, especially considering the price. The audio was nearly as good as that of my V-Moda Vibe headphones which cost four times as much. Music sounded a bit tinny, but not annoyingly so. The talk button doubles as a pause button during music play, a nice feature.
   
   ProCable comes in five different colors including black, gold, aluminum, pink and blue. If you're not a big fan of the headset that came with your iPhone, the ProCable is an alternative you may wish to consider. For the money, you'd be hard-pressed to find another product that compares to the features and quality of the ProCable.

2 comments about Behringer MicroAmp HA400 Ultra-Compact 4-Channel Stereo Headphone Amplifier.

1. Do not let the size fool you. This is a very handy piece of equipment and it's so easy to set up and use. Just plug a 1/4 inch stereo cable into your sub out on your mixer and then into the HA400, then plug in up to 4 pairs of headphones and your set to track overdubs. This is perfect for a small home studio on a budget and it's built like a tank. Be forewarned that this a very basic headphone distribution system, you can only adjust volume from the HA400 and it would be wise to purchase a real long 1/4 stereo cable and extensions for the headphones if you want to isolate vocals.



2. I needed an amp for my headphones and didn't want to break the bank, so I tried this amp, and it doe's everything I need it too.

3 comments about Sennheiser MX 660 Silver Earbuds with Volume Control and Cable Winder ¿(Silver).

1. I was running with me MX500's on. The wire got caught on a hook shaped door handle and I broke the earphones, so I needed a replacement.
   
   Detailed description:
   The MX660s have a single, round tube insulation instead of the kind that clearly separates left and right channels. The wire doesn't twist as much because of this. The cord is Y shaped.
   The foam pads that came with the MX660s had a very small opening and fit very snugly onto the earphones. They're great once you get them on. I remember the ones on the MX500s were loose and I eventually lost them (got replacements).
   The L/J shaped plug is noticeable thicker than the kind on the MXx00 series. So is the volume control. Overall the construction on the MX660's is not thicker, but sturdier.
   The wire is long enough that I can keep my MP3 player in my pocket and still move my head around freely with them on.
   It comes with a little pouch I'll never use, and a plastic windy thing with places for the earphones that I might use one day.
   
   Sound:
   SO MUCH BASS. Significantly more than the MXx00 headphones! The rest of the sound is balanced. If there was an equalizer equivalent, I'd say it would look like this:
   
   +12 ....
   ________....
   0____________.......
   ____________________
   -12_________________
   ___ 18Hz _________ 21KHz
   
   Super heavy lows.



2. Very good sound quality, works great. The 'volume control' only controls a small range of volume though. It's not meant to replace the volume control on your device. But otherwise very worthwhile.



3. I have always been a Sennheiser fan, and own 5 sets of headphones. Unfortunately, these are so-so. Not a great sound and not that comfortable on the ears.
   
   I hate to admit it, but the orignal Apple IPOD earbuds sound better. I need to also say that I'm an audiophile, and in the upper end of headphones, Sennheiser is terrific. But for low-end earbuds, these do not stand out.

5 comments about Sony MDR-E827G Sports Series Fontopia Water-Resistant Ear-Bud Stereo Headphones.

1. They sound good. Definitely better bass than many open-air earbuds.
   
   I got these for biking and running with my shuffle. They're a bit small for me and wobbled around at first (they need a good close fit for full bass), but fit wonderfully after I stuck a small amount of folded duct tape on one side underneath the foam covers.
   
   My only complaint is that the cord is short and symmetrical, much like the earbuds that come with an iPod shuffle. It's just barely long enough to reach around the hem of my t-shirt into the bottom of deep jean pockets, but a little more slack would be nice. Also, I really prefer the asymmetrical or behind the head cord designs of the other earbuds I own. But in any set of earbuds, sound quality is the number one priority - and these definitely suffice, considering their price range.



2. I wanted earphones that would hold up to my perspiration and so far they've done the job.



3. I got these to workout at the gym. They are great! I love the case to keep everything neat. And the sound quality is wonderful. You are able to hear everything else around you for safety, but that sound is in the background, and what you want to listen to comes through clearly. The price on Amazon is great too! And with Amazon Prime, you can't beat this deal!



4. Sound is excellent. Super lightweight, great case, plus the color makes them easy to spot if they fall out of your backpack. Couldn't ask for anything more is such a convenient package



5. Just like my title, I bought these for running because there were so many positive reviews but as soon as I started running with them in, they fell out. I kept on having to push them harder into my ears in a attempt for them to stay in for more than a few seconds. No such luck.

1. love the handsfree and cordfree life while chasing the kids around or walk or run with jogging stroller. so, keep the ipod and the phone in your backpack..have some tunes while you stroll with convenience of being able to answer your phone w/o necessarily having to fish it out of said bag carrying everyone's elses stuff.. mom rant... only slight annoyance is that the rubber on the ends 'grabs' onto hair.. so, not so cool for hair down.. but mostly up when working out, sooo... overall great purchase.



2. The earpiece looks heavy but is actually very light. The only flaw I can think of is that it is tricky putting it on. Otherwise, it's fantastic.

2 comments about Panasonic RP-HV280 Portable Earbud Headphones with In-Cord Volume Control.

1. I have tried most all brands of ear buds, including both open type that sit in outer ear and types that are built to seal off the ear canal (usually, those provide the most base if you can take the feeling of them in your ear). For those that sit in the outside of the year, these are among the best sounding ear buds I have ever heard. I only tried them because I had bought a Panasonic MP3 Player for my brother, and was startled by how excellent the sound was with the enclosed ear buds for the money. I have tried the ear buds (extensively) from Apple, Creative, iriver, Koss, JVC (Gummy), etc. These are better than any of those because of vastly superior base response for the open ear type of bud. All such buds work the best if you get and use the little foam covers for them. This pair comes with those, however, the ones you can get in a pack of four at Radio Shack are better(the covers, that is). These ear buds are excellent for 20 bucks, and sound better than any I know of that you can buy separately like this, of the open, sit in the outer ear type.



2. This is definitely a great earphone for its price. I just got it today and it works great. The downside to it is that the volume control doesn't control the volume as well as it says. It does go from maximum volume to minimum volume, but it doesn't slide from maximum volume to mute as a regular volume control would. But you could always silent it on the cd player, iPod or computer. Anyway, works great!

2 comments about Denon AHD1001S On-Ear Headphones (Silver).

1. Rated 5 star based on fit to application.
   
   I recently purchased a Zune 80gb because it supported lossless WMA playback. However, I didn't have a good set of portable headphones to use with it. I had been using a pair of Sennheiser PX-100's and PX-200's, but they were ill suited for jogging and outdoors activities. Both headphones are ok, but too much external noise leaks through the PX-100's open air design and the sound quality of the sealed PX-200's is a definite drop off from the PX-100's. Either way, neither worked well for jogging as both tended to slide around my head.
   
   So I started a search for pair of enclosed headphones that could be driven by the Zune. After reading many reviews, I decided on the Denon's and I'm glad I did. They sound fantastic, on par with my Sennheiser HD-570's (actually, the Denon's bass is better) but not quite as good as my uber expensive Sennheiser HD-650's. I've never heard a pair of enclosed headphones that sounded like the Denon's. The Denon's don't suffer from the "in a can" sound, rather, they are almost as open and transparent as the HD-570's. Good recordings really have an air to them and vocals on some of my reference recordings just seam to float in space. The high end is almost perfect. I use The Giant Hogweed Orchestra's "Halogen" to evaluate the high end as this psychedelic jazz composition features some of the best captured drum and cymbal work in my music collection. You can hear every nuance of the cymbals and the brush work on the drums is absolutely esquisite. Once again, not as good as my HD-650 which cost a nearly rediculous 6-7x as much, but every bit as good as the HD-570's with even better bass extension.
   
   And, the Denon's work very well for portable players. I have to max out the Zune (20 on the volume) just to get a reasonable sound out of the HD-570 / HD-650's. It only takes a volume setting of 10 with the Denon's. The closed air design fits over your ears, not on them unless you have Dumbo or Spock sized ears (this coming from a 6'2" 270lb guy). While not as sound isolating as most sealed designs, the around the ear design means these won't fall of your head when jogging or working outdoors, a very important consideration for me. Best yet, they are every bit as comfortable as my HD-570 / HD-650's for extended listening. Just the right amount of pressure and feather light weight.
   
   While they won't replace my highend Sennheiser's for home studio and home stereo listening, they are perfect for high quality portable listening. The Denon's make a great match for the Zune and Lossless WMA, pure audiophile geekdom....



2. I have had these for a little more than a month and really like them. It took about a solid week to break them in, sound and comfort wise. Now I can have them on for a long time and they dont bother me. I had a pair of Sennheiser's HD 280 which sound great and I think a little better then these Denons but they are just too tight and I could not wear them for more then an hour at a time. Returned the Senn's and got these and love them. Like I said before, sound quality wise the Senn's are a little better but comfort wise these Denons blow them away. I compromised the quality of sound for comfort as I have them on at work all day. I think the reason the Senns are too tight is because they are noise isolating, so they need to have a tight fit over your ear. The Denons are not, but once the music is on you cant hear any outside noise anyway. I work in a loud lab (AC, lots of computer equipment etc.) and when the music is on I dont hear any of the background noise.
   
   I also own a pair of Senn's in-the-ear head phones and they are also very uncomfortable, cant have them on for more then an hour. I wish they can make comfortable ones, if they do it will be tough to pass on them.
