Customer Review: Just ordered my fourth pair
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been purchasing this product for a number of years now, and I keep coming back because I have yet to find another that is so well designed. I am an urbanite that rides the train to work and walks around downtown. I like to listen to music to help drown out the ambient noise from that obnoxious cell phone user sitting across the aisle, the crazy dude rambling about how we should all find god, or even just the trains themselves.
These headphones deliver on everything you can think of. I like the clip on-ear function of these headphones simply because I don't like the feeling of having an earbud actually inside my ear, but also detest having bulky cans on - I'm a professional in a suit, and it just seems... odd... to have cans on. These are discreet enough to blend in. My favorite feature is that the cord goes around the back of your neck. Particularly since I do often have to take off my headphones briefly to either talk to someone or listen for something, having the Y cord means I have to either find a place in my pocket for the cord or allow them to dangle towards the ground freely. With this cord, the headphones just stay put and dangle off my shoulders, which is a lot more convenient. The sound quality is good, but not excellent. It's certainly better than many other headphones I've used, but it's not among the best. Finally, the retractable cord is very convenient for stuffing in a briefcase, bag, or purse - it's very nice not to have long cords getting tangled up with everything else you have.
As far as durability goes, however, expect to replace them every 12-18 months. That's not awful, considering the low cost of the product. The rubber ends of the ear clips seem to be the first thing to go on it, as they start to fray and ultimately tear off. The cord itself is not the most durable thing in the world either, which is to be somewhat expected given the retractable nature of it.
All said, I highly recommend these. There's a reason I keep buying them!
