5 out of 5 stars Get a case for them if you can.   August 29, 2008
F. Hernandez (Dallas, TX)
It's been almost a year since I bought these great headphones. I spent hours looking online for the best quality/price, and found these to be a perfect fit.

The sound was great for $20. I've had several pairs of below 50 dollar headphones, and these have been the best. The comfort is unparalleled! Yes, you can actually fall asleep with these on (however, they do tend to slip off at some point when you're asleep). Warning: Be careful not to lose the rubber earpieces. They stay put alright, but rough handling may cause them to come off at times.

My Jbuds finally gave out a week ago when the left bud stopped working. I tried to fix the headphones several times, but finally ended up taking them apart (I'm the curious type). The wiring leaves a bit more to be desired, but then again, I have put these through a year of abuse (backpack, pocket, tangled in my car, a little water, sun, heat, cold, etc.) and they held up great.

***If you get these, be sure to have a little case or something to put them in.***

Right now, I just noticed the Sony Mdr-Ex32Lp ($20.69) headphones, and I'm torn between getting another set of Jbuds or getting the Sony.

In my opinion though, the Jbuds are a good, durable set of headphones that will give you tremendous listening pleasure for months and years to come.



4 out of 5 stars I like these.   August 29, 2008

I like these ear buds...better sounds than Apple's. The only problem is when I use these for jogging, I completely cannot hear anything around me. The bike riders get upset trying to warn you they need to pass.


3 out of 5 stars Good, but not good enough   August 29, 2008
A. Rustikov (Greenville, SC)
Have to agree with the previous review. Great quality sound, but mine got messed up after about a couple of months: I'd say something to do with a wiring. I thought it was a random problem and wanted to buy another pair, but it looks like it is a pattern with this product. As nice as they were in the very beginning, I would think twice before buying.


1 out of 5 stars Heed the low ratings!   August 28, 2008
J. Lujan
I really wish I had listened to the minority of reviewers who gave these earbuds bad reviews. But I took a chance, and I got burned.

I owned these for less than a month. The sound quality was more than adequate for what I was looking for (and for what I paid), as well as a notable improvement over my ipod buds. However, today the right earphone suddenly stopped working. I can get the sound back if I wiggle the cord just right, but the sweet spot for that is getting more and more difficult to hit.

In the few weeks I've owned them, I've been quite careful with them. They're wrapped up nicely and kept in a case when I'm not using them, and I don't even wear them when exercising. This short lifespan is a major disappointment. Don't make the same mistake I did. Pick a different pair of earbuds.

Yes these headphones are great at first but after a while they stop working and audio only happens in one ear.
