" ... The ear pieces are small, but so are my ears so they are fine with me. ... "
" ... I'm not a "sound" snob but like a headset for travel that doesn't require me to put ear buds into my ears, which irritates my ears for some reason. ... so great they have been stolen from me by my husband who is wearing them as I write this, watching his iPad, and NOT disturbing me because they are nice and quiet and do the job ...

" ... Both bass and treble sounds great. ... "
" ... I was surprised at how small they are when I first opened the package, but the sound is full and large, plenty of bass and great clarity. ... "

+64%
-36%
" ... cable is pretty long, easy fit on the ears, sounds great. ... "
" ... The good old trusty wire from these eliminates any of those issues, and I just run with my phone in a waist pack and run the headphones up through my shirt so the cord doesn't flop around everywhere, and they stay put during my whole run and so far I have had no issues with my sweating, as I sweat like crazy. ... "
" ... The cord does not tangle, and I plug it in to enjoy good stereo sound without fiddling with it. ... "
" ... In ear buds sound great, but a bump of the cable transfers right to the ear. ... "
" ... After a couple of years of my abuse, the cord started pulling away from the adapter, but it still works, and if I need to replace it it’s a fair price and I’ll gladly buy another. ... "
" ... The sound is good, but the cord is too short. ... "
" ... The cables are very thin which to me doesn't bode well for long lasting durability but no issues so far. ... "

" ... I do wish you could conform the shape of the band over the top as it is a bit stiff and because it doesn't conform to my head shape perfectly, it does have a tendency to slide. ... "
" ... The band that goes over the head was broken off the earphones - both sides. ... "
" ... The plastic piece that holds the headphones onto the band is very brittle. ... "
