5 comments about iLuv i301BLK Lightweight Earphones for iPod (Black).
- This item is strategicaly packaged to look like an Apple Product, but don't be fooled like I was. They sound horrible!!
- 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.
- 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.
- I bought this Earphone because I had one before and I broken it so I bought a new one!!
- 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.

1 comments about Shure Push-To-Hear Device.
- Shure's Push-To-Hear device is a nice, high quality accessory for sound isolating earphones. It works well in relaxed environments. I purchsed it hoping I could use it at work, but the configuration of the cords and the sensitivity of the microphone are not compatible with my loud and active work environment. I will enjoy using it at home and during travel, but if you are considering adding this to your earphones for use during a workout or in any situation where you will be moving around alot, don't spend the money.

4 comments about Scosche Blulife Home Kit.
- This thing works like a charm. I own a Apple 60 GB Black iPod Video AAC/MP3 Player (5th Generation) and the Motorola Krzr K1m Sprint phone, which sadly does not feature stereo bluetooth and I was looking for a solution for this unnecessary issue (Motorola should've built in stereo bluetooth along with it's mp3 player). The Scosche Blulife Home Kit was the answer to my prayer. Not only could I use the transmitter with my phone to send stereo audio to my bluetooth headset, the reciever can be used for sound in the home or vehicle. A beautiful thing.
For my video Ipod, I can connect the standard 3.5" jack and send the signal to either the receiver, which connects via any RCA connection, or to my Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970. One important thing to point out is to know what you want to do with your devices, then, read the manuals for all your devices thoroughly. I admit I did have trouble the first time around with the HBH-DS970 pairing to the transmitter and the phone simultaneously, but once I spent time with the manual, I followed the clear instructions and was able to achieve my goal of being able to switch back and forth between music and phone calls. It s all about the single/multiple switch button on the headset. The only gripe I have if any, is the size of the transmitter, which could get bulky if you intend to connect it to your portable devices on the go. Otherwise indoor use not a problem whatsoever.
Here's The Breakdown:
Pros: Fast automatic pairing
No compatibility issues
User Friendly
Durable
Comes with various size holsters for the different Ipod types
Price - very affordable and appropriate
Battery Life
Make your non bluetooth phone (or other device) into a bluetooth phone (or other device)
Cons: Transmitter a bit bulky for use with phone adds bulk to Ipod
Highly recommended!
- The product came in defective--when it is connected, it seems to work beautifully--however, I keep getting disconnected intermittently every 10 minutes or so. I caled Scosche and I was directed to my merchant to get a replacement. I am still waiting for a replacement to get mailed to me.
- Plugged into any device other that iPod: Works for 5-10 minutes then loses the connection with no apparent cause.
With iPod: Keeps the connection open, but sound randomly drops for a fraction of a second, several times a minute, if the transmitter is > 6 feet from the base station. (Note: I have no problems with any other BlueTooth item I own within my house) This is VERY obnoxious, and means it the device effectively has just a 6 foot range.
- I bought this because I wanted a BT speakerphone that turned on and off with my car. I previously used a Motorola T305 that had to be manually turned on when entering the car, and wanted something automatic.
The Scosche unit turns on automatically, but takes a long time to turn on after power is applied (even with the AC adaptor in-home) and does not reconnect automatically to my Blackberry 8100. I must navigate to the Blackberry's Bluetooth menu, select "SCOSCHE" and re-connect manually. Every other Bluetooth device I've used with my Blackberry (several models of ear-headsets, the aforementioned T305 speaker-phone, and a Parrot speaker-phone, all re-pair automatically within SECONDS of being powered up.
What a disappointment.

- These are no better than the buds that came with my iPod. Immediately replaced them with Koss buds from WalMart at less than $20. They are excellent.
- If you are a self-professed 'audiophile', then you are at the wrong page. If, however, you are a normal human being who is looking for a stylish yet functional pair of great sounding in-ear headphones, then you have arrived at the right page.
If, like myself, the regular in-ear phones all too often fall out, and you don't like either the idea of pushing 'buds' into your inner ear or the idea of outer-ear headphones ruffling your feathers then here is perhaps the best solution to your musical problems. As one would expect from Bang & Olufsen not only do these remarkable headphones look like a piece of modern art, but they function perfectly well too; and not merely in the audio sense. Functionally they are an amazingly flexible yet simple to use design, built around an ingenious three-way movement that allows your to exactly place the drivers at the opening to your ear. In fact, they fit SO well that you cannot tell you are wearing them.
Of course, we are talking about headphones, so, the all important question, "What about the sound?". B & O have built a solid reputation not merely on their elegant design, but on the quality of their sound too, and needless to say these sound great! beyond great, they are sharp, clear, crisp, clean, colourful, deep, round and offer excellent clarity and separation for such minute drivers. I have listened to a wide variety of music and these headphones have coped perfectly well, delivering a quality performance through a wide spectrum of musical genres.
Although the design of these was later stolen by other companies who butchered it to make those horrible 'active' headphones these headphones are not necessarily meant to be worn by individuals looking to break a sweat, their strength lies in simply being a beautiful, well-crafted pair of headphones that sound superb and simply happen to be worn around the ears. I like to think the designers were tackling the problem of the perpetually dislodged in-ear headphone rather than making a solution for the sporty.
The only minus to this product is the length of the cable - way too long for today's music players. Back in the day, when these were conceived maybe the cable was just the right length, now it is simply WAY too long and ends up coiled or tangled thus ruining the sharp aesthetics of the actual phones. Ironically, B & O provide the purchaser with an 'extension' cable, so why they didn't make the initial cable much shorter, I have no idea - shame!
- *****WARNING**** If you purchase this product (Bang & Olufsen A8 B&O) make sure you purchase this product from a KNOWN SOURCE because if not, you will be buying a Knock Off (Fake) version of this product. Also ***WARNING*** If you buy any headphone set for 49.99 or 45.99 or even 59.99 (and there worth $250 or $150) They will be FAKE!!! like the BOSE Tri Ports for 49.99 ***WARNING*** ANY Headphone/Earphone set that is %80 Less than the Original price Refurbished or Open Box they will be fake UNLESS there backed by a Real Manufacturer Warranty or Of course %100 money back guarantee! **** WARNING**** DONT BE FOOLED FYI GOOD LUCK!

5 comments about Skullcandy Lowrider Headphones - MacRed.
- Ok I bought these becuase my wife has a pair of Skullcandy Hesh. So I thought these would be kick A"" to there ok. The biggest problem I have with these is they fall off my head all the time so these things are chillin head phones. I got this pair cheap so if you can get them cheap get them because they do sound good not much bass though. Word of advice spend the extra money and get the Skullcandy Hesh they kick and sound better and they dont fall off your head. Oh also leave the skullcrushers alone to not real bass just good vibrations. Thanks
- They look just like they are pictured, they are comfy on the ears and my son loves them.
- Very quick, good transaction. They are exactly as advertised and are now my favourite headphones. :) I've never owned headphones so comfortable before. Didn't need to take them off during the 8-hour drive from home to college.
- I have had these a week now and am EXTREMELY pleased ! And no, I'm not a "younger person", lol. Mid 40's and lUv my muZic. I have bought a handful of different earbuds and small headphones for my mp3 players and haven't really liked any of them. Earbuds kill your ears after an hour or so and never really fit both my ears, as they are different IDs. Plus I like to be able to hear what is happening around me.
Use these outside and inside, while in my workshop, sitting at the lake, on the deck, rolling around in the yard and while surfing. I'd use them while riding my handcycle but I don't want to sweat all over them.
They are VERY comfortable, very lightweight, excellent sound quality, ya don't have to set the volume high to hear all the instruments/frequencies either. I listen to all types of music and they ALL sound great on these. Wiring is flexible AND high quality. They are WELL BUILT, fold up and stow in minimal space. Oh yeah, they look cool as well, ya don't have to be a teenager to appreciate THAT... most of us, anyway.

- I think everyone else has the headphone specs covered, so I just wanted to comment on the MacRed color, which currently sells for a spectacular $20.93 here. It's a muted warm plum color with a metallic sheen, which is far better than the fire engine red I thought I was going to get. I would get this color even if it weren't the cheapest one available.
To add a bit to the specs, the sound quality is rich, clear, and very satisfying. The headphones also fit somewhat loosely and awkwardly on my head when I wear my glasses, so I wouldn't strongly recommend this if you usually wear thick framed glasses. The whole thing is made of light plastic, but I expected that from small headphones like these. Overall, I'm really pleased with these headphones.

2 comments about Jasco Ultra-Flex Child Headphones 95408.
- Package actually says adjusts for children and adults. However, they are a bit big (but still useable) for my nearly 4 year old. I would not recommend them for an under fiver. 5-8 with a good sized noggin. 8+ just fine. Otherwise, they work and seem pretty durable. These do not fold (in case that was not obvious). I think the description is a bit misleading. Alternatively, I was going to purchase the panda or tiger headphones (maybe smaller?). However, they are not so egregiously big that I feel I must get something else.
- Bought these for my 3-year-old daughter to wear while watching DVDs and the ipod on a plane. Perfect fit. No sliding off like others that have the metal extenders. The "rubber" of the headset grabbed her hair better. So they stayed on. She didn't pull at them. Snug fit over the ears too. Bigger oval pads cover the ears really well. Excellent buy for the money.

5 comments about Shure Universal Fit 20 Pack Replacement Foams for E1c, E3c and E5c Earphones.
- I tried all the rubber vinyl plugs that came with the E3C's, but they all had the shortcoming of not effectively sealing the ear canal making bass very poor, and they were uncomfortable. The yellow foam plugs are easy to use and work just like the ear foams many people use in industrial applications. They effectively seal the ear canal and are very comfortable. Although they seem a bit expensive I've found that once they get dirty you can use water and a bit of dish detergent to clean them. Just soak, squeeze, rinse and let them air dry and they are as good as new. You can do this three or four times, then just toss them away.
Highly recommended.
- Thanks. These are the best earphone foams for Shure earphones. Perfect fit.
- I wish they sold them by the case. They stay in pretty well in the gym, and I love the ability to change them when I want, I hate skeevy.
- I've ordered 3 of these replacement packs for a couple of pair of Shure earphones over the last couple of years.
The sound isolation from the foam is excellent, they are fairly easy to use, and fall out less easily than any other option I've tried. Probably only custom-fit molding works much better.
The passive sound isolation is better than active noise cancellation by manufacturers such as Bose, as numerous studies have shown. I'm always amused by the Bose-users on airplanes who don't realize they would get better sound from tiny earphones like Shure or Etymotic than their 5lb monsters with batteries.
Only two minor caveats, one of which should be temporary - (1) There are no Shure earphones with the button for an iPhone yet, only an adaptor, this must be fixed soon. (2) It takes a bit of force and finesse to put the new foams on the earpieces, I haven't had trouble but some might.
[added 1/13/08 - just tried the new black foams, see my review, not quite as secure, same sonics, better looks, more expensive]
- This foams are very good, they fit perfectly in your ears and the sound does not change a bit!
