Customer Review: Outstanding for this type of headphone
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought two more of these headphones for my grandchildren, but not because they need the great sound. The kids benefit from other attributes. I have some terrific in-ear headphones that not only deliver the goods sound-wise but block other sound. While that's perfect on the tractor, other times I want good sound with more ease and the ability to hear other things if necessary. The quality of sound these simple earphones deliver is astonishing. It does, however, depend on how you position them. You have to have them in right way around, of course. I like to wear them hanging under my chin so they don't interfere with taking my glasses on and off which I do a lot and they're so lightweight they stay in place well. It's quick off and on when necessary and they don't catch in my hair, but sometimes when I move my head down it moves the headpiece, which moves the earpieces and the sound isn't delivered as directly which makes a difference. It encourages me to sit up straight :). The sound is more consistent when wearing the headphones over your head as designed; it's just not necessary to wear them that way.
For the kids, the headphones are replacing the earbuds that came with their little MP3 players. We've found the ones that came with them are a bit too big for their ears and won't stay in place reliably. After watching my granddaughter carrying her beloved little gadget around holding one bud up to an ear, I decided this type headset would be an improvement, and indeed it is. Since the headpiece is adjustable it works for her as well as for me. She can still hear us when necessary, but can also enjoy her music without fussing with the headphones, which is great, especially in the car. They work really well with the DVD player on trips since they don't take up much room in the case, are easy for the kids to put on and take off and are so lightweight they are comfortable. They've already learned the trick of pulling one earpiece out so as to hear Mommy better and letting it easily reset into their ear when the message has been acknowledged. This is so much easier than removing and resetting an earbud, I really value the ease as well.
All that said, I love them for myself and although I carry earbuds with me, these are the headphones I use around the house. The first time I used them I couldn't believe I could get sound that impressive out of such modest headphones. I'd expect it from multi-hundred dollar headphones, but I think you'll find these are as good as the much bulkier noise canceling headphones. I highly recommend giving them a try. You might be as surprised as I was.
