1. I recently bought this and liked it. The sounds levels great as i expected it to be. The only turnoff is that it says bass vent headphones but i did not get that xtra bass. But how much can you expect from earfones ryt? All in all a good buy!

1. I'm an avid iPod Touch (for podcasts)/iRiver H10(for music and sound quality) user and during my 1+ hour commute from Westchester to Manhattan for work I've been using the Sony Fontopia MDR-EX51 in ear headphones for the last 2 years. I just got a serious ear infection from them last month due to the rubber tips wearing out, breaking off and irritating my inner ear canal (be warned). Those Fontopias had the best all around sound for value and I didn't realize until I tried to use the OEM apple iPod earphones and found them to be horrible in comparison to the Sony. Also the iPod earphones irritated my already infected ears.
   Since then, after a month of shopping around and trying different over-the-ear styles of headphones, I stumbled onto these $9 Cobys in China Town. Although I never really bought this brand before I'm very well aware of their cheap prices and effy quality. So it was by accident that I bought these during my lunch break with my lunch money. I needed headphones at the time ASAP and it was a spontaneous buy only based on the $9 price tag and the cool design of these headphones. I've been loving them ever since. They completely block out the subway rumble and play my music (I listen to alot of Electronica, Hip-Hop, Reggae and Jazz)and podcasts crisp and clear. Also they are very light and don't give you sweaty ears like the bigger pricier Sony MDR-D777.
   
   PROS: -Sound is Rich and full of Bass. You do not have to turn it up to hear your music even if its loud in your environment.
   -Design is comfortable and light. Also the cups pivot and tilt to give a perfect fit and allows for precise adjustments.
   -Volume dial on the cord is always useful when you don't want to get Pizza grease on your iPod Touch.
   -One cord from the cups to the plug is sweet! Minimal cordage eliminates tangles completely.
   -PRICE! $9.00 and you will be as happy as people that spend more.
   -Looks cool. Really cool!
   
   CONS:
   -Right out the wrapper you can see that these aren't as durable as other pricier brands. Drop them hard and they feel like they would break into a lot of pieces. That said, they still feel firm and solid in hand and when you wear them but if you have a habit of breaking your toys or dropping things a lot get ready to buy a few of these during the year. But at $9 I can't really say bad about that.
   - Not really fold-able. Don't know what they mean by that. All you can do with these is contract the band and bring the cups together.
   - They stick out. The white shell seem to extend out a lot more than I would've like. They don't feel bulky or uncomfortable, but when I look in the mirror I feel like I should be out landing Airplanes with some ATCs.
   
   NOTE: Coby makes similar models (the CV-193 & CV-520) to this that claims to have Noise Cancelling & "High Performance" features. A friend got those thinking it was what I'd bought only to find out that those are more heavy, more bulky, are less adjustable and do not really cancel noise anymore than these plus you need to buy batteries for them to work. And we found that the CV-163 actually has a richer bass sound output than those pricier models.

1. These are great earbuds- retractable with a clip that secures them in place while working out or traveling on a plane.

1. I read some good reviews of this product and was very adamant to try it.
   I received them and was very dissapointed with the initial sound of them. Almost at par with the basic iPod headphones, but there is some static, which becomes rather annoying. Also, only having them now for a few weeks, the chord is already frayed at the bottom! Causing reduced play quality. The only good thing about these is the comfort. You can wear them for hours without aching at all, but it is definitely not worth the 42 dollars spent after shipping and handling!



2. Excellent sound, stay in place, very comfortable, light weight. This is the third style that I have had and they are by far the best. They were also less expensive than many others.



3. I bought these to use when working out, and I've been pleased with them for the most part. I think they deliver excellent sound quality, and they fit comfortably. They do still occasionally come loose when I'm running, but I'm not sure if there is an earbud in existence that will stay in place 100% of the time, especially if you have smaller ears. Also, the cord started to detach from the jack after a couple of months of use. It was easily repaired with electrical tape, but still kind of annoying.



4. I would definitely recommend these, I had tried at least 10 different earphones and was so darn frustrated! But i found these and they are so comfortable, they don't hurt your ears. They are flexible and the part that goes in your ears are soft and don't hurt when you wear them for a long time. Sometimes the cord gets tangled up in my mp3 players neckstrap because it's long, but that's a small price to pay for such great earphones!



5. This is the second pair I have purchased; my cat chewed up the first (Grrrrrr!) But the day I realized they were ruined; I went onto Amazon and ordered the same exact pair. The regular iPod ear buds hurt my ears and always fall out while I exercise; these stay perfectly in place. For the price; they are more than worth it for me!

5 comments about Purebuds Digital Earphones: Pure Music, Safe Sound.

1. I just received the Purebuds and tried them out for a couple days, and i love them. The surround sound buds are crisp, and give the effect of having sound all around me. There is also extra bass buds for the full bodied bass, which is very deep and adds the extra punch to songs. The third buds are the full range buds, which offer an equally balanced sound. Definitely get these earbuds, not only do they sound great but they are safe, so you wont be deaf when you have grandkids.



2. These are great headphones! Comfortable and they sound better than other headphones that I own that are much more expensive.



3. I have odd-shaped ears, making many earbud headphones uncomfortable or not able to fit at all. With the interchangeable earbud tips, the Purebuds headphones always give me a good snug fit that doesn't fall out (even while running). These sound fantastic, and cost a lot less than a similar-sounding pair from Sennheiser or what have you.



4. I tried these out for a month for a review on another site. During that time I used each of the three interchangeable tips. I found the sound easily better than earphones I'd paid 2x as much for (including the lousy and ill-fitting Bose earphones).
   
   There's reverse sound technology and all that other marketing mumbo jumbo. All that I care about is the music sounds good. When testing my first task is to turn the music up loud and see how much the sound distorts.
   
   With Purebuds I was NOT able to get the earphones to distort even at the loudest level.
   
   I love the case that comes with the Purebuds because it easily holds both the replacement eartips and the earphones themself.
   
   For the price you cannot beat these! And actually I don't think you can beat them at two or three times the price...



5. The sound that comes from this product is great but I have trouble keeping them in my ears especially during a run. It comes with three tips and one of them won't stay in my ear at all, the other is kind of big, and the third fits but and i love them for walking but not running.

1. For the price of these you can't go wrong.
   
   They fit well, sound decent, and are reasonably durable. I've enjoyed a few sets of Audio Technica headphones across their price range and while I might not suggest these to an audiophile for their iPod, they work great for when I occasionally want heaphones on my computer.



2. To be honest, the sound from these cans do not compare to my Sennheiser PX100's. They sound bass heavy and lack the clarity and detail of the PX100's. But to be fair, they cost half of the PX100's and are reasonably good for the price. They seem ruggedly built and are fairly comfortable. They also come with a nice long cord and a 1/4" stereo adapter. Definitely not for audiophiles but what do you want for under $20.



3. These headphones sound amazing for the the price I paid for them. I bought them as a gift for my girlfriend and she was equally amazed. The cord is extremely long and useful in places where you are far from the device you are listening to (ie. the computer, walking around listening to a CD boom box). The Sony headphones I have now have no bass, are starting to break, and cost me almost as much as these. See if I buy another pair of Sony headphones again...



4. Tried these for about 2 minutes, then boxed them up. Apparently, Audio-Technica doesn't realize that most people's ears aren't flat against their heads. With no pivot capability in the vertical axis, these phones are held away from the front of your ear, while pushing excessively on the back part. Not comfortable at all. Don't waste your time ordering these.



5. These headphones sound great but hurt my ears when I wear glasses, and my hair also gets caught and pulled by them, so I don't really use them.

2 comments about AKG K240 MKII Headphones.

1. I have been running a project studio for around 5 years now. I didn't start out with the flashyest equipment, or with all the knoledge. Over time I have learned a lot, and upgraded my gear. My most recent upgrade is a pare of the AKG K240 series headphones. I just got them about two hours ago actualy. I went into the control room, and plugged them into my Firepod, fired up the PC and started listening. That being said, I will hit the audio aspects of these phones first. The first thing that I noticed was that I had to adjust the main volume higher then I did with my previous phones. I then noticed the highs: I have honestly never heard a set of phones that brought out 8-16 KHZ so well. I started thinking of how I will have to adjust those frequencys down a bit in my recordings to compinsate. My recordings normaly do have a lot of that range on other sound systems, now that I think about it. The mids: 500HZ-2KHZ sound fine. The lows?: 20-60HZ? where are they? I can't find them in the mix! I ran a frequency response test 20 HZ-20000 KHZ sweep and started hearing stuff well above 20 HZ: meaning, that when the test started I didn't hear anything.
   I read somewhere online that these phones were to have a "flat frequency responce". Guess not. If your wondering what that means: all frequencys would be equal when doing the sweep, no increase in volume when the sweep is in progress. This would obviously be good for studio mixing, because you wouldn't think you had the bass, or treb high enough, only to find that the phones were not acurat in their sound reproduction when listening on another sound system.
   I understand speekers some what, and understand that with a huge 12 inch woofer that you will hear the lows more then you would if that woofer was the size of a headphone., and vice versa: that small speekers pull up those highs. If headphones are to have a flatt frequency responce and they are rated at I believe 15 HZ starting range, why can't you hear/feel it.
   As far as feel, these phones are light and large. These are not noise canceling! phones! they don't block out much at all. The cord is detachible, on the left side with a many XLR plug, the other end sports a built in many eighth inch plug. A screw on type 1-4th inch adapter comes with.
   I read so many grand reviews about the sound quality of these phones! For the most part, it's true, just lacking one detail, the low end, the fullness down their.
   To sum it all up, wouldn't get them for studio work, in less you've got another pare with lows that you can hear.



2. The AKG K 240 MK II differs from the K 240 studio ( used in many recording studios) in two important ways:
   
   Two cables are now included. One is the standard light weight cable, the other is a coiled cable. Headphone cables can break, now you already have a spare.
   
   Second, the ear cushions have been made softer for a better fit. This improves the bass response. An alternate pair of ear cushions have been included as well. Use what works best for you.
   
   All other parts appear to be the same (in design but not always in appearance) including the drivers.
   
   The sound is the same, but it is easier to get good head contact with these new phones, thus fuller bass is assured.
   
   A B listening tests of the two models went as expected, no difference in sound, other than loss of bass in the old pair when they were not put on exactly right.
   
   The sound is the best I have heard for the money. To get better sound, in my opinion, you will need to spend much more money for a pair of Stax electrostatic phones. Listening tests were done on classical music for the most part.
   
   Opera, choral music, piano, and orchestra CDs and DVDs were used. What is remarkable is the transparency, the ability to hear so many inner parts in a complex choral work, such as the Brahms Requiem. There is no smearing of fast coloratura singing, such as found in early operas, a serious problem with even high end speakers.
   
   Rock music testing was done using Roger Waters DVD "In The Flesh live".
   These phones handle lots of bass very cleanly. If the bass seems less than it should be, bear in mind that your body is not being shaken by the music, only your ears.
   
   The semi open air design gives a very open stereo image that is very similar to sitting in a balcony seat overhanging the stage at Boston Symphony Hall. Bass- treble balance of the phones also matched the sound heard live from the front balcony. For people who sit farther from the orchestra these phones may sound a little short on bass. To me having the tonal balance and spacial aspects match a real location in a real hall is nice.
   
   I sing in choirs more than I attend concerts. The phones also simulate the sound I hear when I am positioned center stage. Of course, there is a difference, nearby voices don't stand out listening on phones. I get the feeling of listening from above center stage or below.
   
   These phones do not produce a " inside the head" effect which is also nice.
   
   Highly Recommended, with a warning, you may not like your speakers after you get addicted to these phones.
