 Great headphones, until they break September 21, 2008
U. Palenshus (Ellensburg, WA USA)
I bought these in December, 2006, and now in October 2008, they are good no more. Whenever I move the cord they crackle and one of the channels comes in and out, basically they are useless now. 22 months seems like a long time, but for most of that time period I wasn't really using them as I wasn't using my mp3 player, it wasn't until I got a Zune maybe 10 months ago that they started getting some use. In my opinion, you should be able to expect more than a year of moderate use (maybe 25 minutes a day) from $60 headphones!
If you don't care about durability, they're great headphones. They do block most external noise, they have great quality, and they never slip out of your ears. The little slide on the cord helps prevent tangling when you put them in your pocket.
 Pretty Good September 10, 2008
D. Ohnemus (Soldotna, Alaska USA)
I have been through several sets of earphones in my life and I will say that for the money these have really good sound. They fit comfortably in the ear and they do block most of the external noise. My only real grip is that they should put the plug at a 90 degree angle so it doesn't stick straight out in harms way. I use it on a Creative Zen player and I would think it would be obvious to the same maker that it should be thus. I have another set of cheaper earphones that don't sound anywhere near this good or block out the noise but it has a 90 degree plug in which I dearly miss. Other than that though they are good earphones.
Now don't misunderstand they don't sound as good as a pair of $450 shures but then they don't cost $450 so you shouldn't expect that. I think they sound appropriate for nearly $100. Good base, good trebles, plenty of volume even for the hearing impaired. I would recommend them. They come with a little case that I don't use but I suppose I should to protect them when not in use. I don't carry backpack or a purse or attache case I can keep the case in. So the player and earphones usually reside in my pocket. Another reason for the 90 degree plug. Have I griped enough about that yet?
Great iPhone head phones! September 5, 2008
Russell J. Pavlak
These are solid headphones that work with the Generation 1 iPhone. They block 90% of background noise. My only complaint is that what I use them outside jogging or roller blading they block the noise so well that I can hear the vibrations of my feet hitting the ground.
 Lasted 40 days April 10, 2008

Having been through three pairs of V-Moda Vibe earphones in the last year, each of which shorted out on one side, I absolutely accept that I may just be cursed. But these lasted an even shorter time than the Vibes did, and Creative has a much more annoying return process than V-Moda does. Because they won't ship to my USPS post office box, I've decided not to bother at all.
As for their sound: much better high end than the Vibes, much poorer low end. Much, much poorer fit. I have to use the largest of the attachments to get any bass at all, and the entire time they're in, I feel them slowly creeping out of my ears.
Guess I'll try the Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 5 next. The CNET review says they fell apart during the second week of testing...
Poor Sound Quality for the price February 17, 2008

Compared to Shure's E2cs, the rival they're going for, it just doesn't match up. For almost the same price, they offer a higher noise isolation, i've compared them in outdoor environments.
