Decent sound, Not durable.......2007-12-26
I bought these earbuds in July, it's now December and they have crapped out on me. I feel like my use of them was normal. I'd use them with my little Sandisk Sansa Express player, carrying it all around in my pocket.
What happened is the end by the plug has become flexed too much I guess. I have to twist and turn the wire in order to hear sound in the right ear now. They are basically worthless to me at this point. The plastic is just not very protective of the wires inside.
They were good until they broke. I liked the different sizes of ear canal attachments.
These earphones convinced me to write my first review.......2007-12-21
I have never written a review on amazon.com, or any website for that matter, and I've been online shopping for a very long time. These headphones are what I've been looking for for so long. I never thought I especially had a difficult time fitting earbuds in my ears, but somehow these so much better than any earphones I've ever had. The bass is perfect (even though it is always adjustable via EQ for iPod owners), and the noise reducing actually is TRUE, unlike most earphone claims, as I can have my iPod set to half volume and I still don't hear my obnoxiously loud fish tank at home or people talking while they walk by me on campus.
Also, I can have my iPod up all the way on volume and I don't hear one crack in the sound, even on my hardest and loudest songs.
And once again, I CANNOT get over how amazingly these fit, just with the original size of the rubber covers still on them. I've yet to try out the other sizes, but if they fit even better, I'm convinced that I will continue to buy these headphones for the rest of my musical life.
BUY THEM. I would have paid four times the amount I paid for these if I knew they were these good ahead of time.
Earphones just don't get better than this. I can't even imagine how they could.
Cheaper options are just as good........2007-12-21
I had to return the product because one bud was noticeably louder than the other. Ignoring this problem, the sound was just okay and there was no real noise reduction. The black rubber that goes in your ear is thin and hollow, so it does nothing to block outside noise. There are other options such as a colby on amazon for around $5 that would be just as good for a third of the price.
Don't think you're getting a bargain.......2007-12-21
I bought these to replace my worn-out Sony MDR-EX71SL Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones (Black) and stupidly, thought I would save a few bucks by buying the Jlab earbuds this time around. I had become quite attached to the in-ear design, having discovered that it gives vastly superior sound quality and outside-sound blocking above the old style of standard earphone designs. I thought, well, these are in-ear headphones, they surely give similar quality sound, right? Wrong. After trying them out for a day, I got curious and plugged in my old Sonys (ragged but still functioning) and the difference was dramatic. The Sonys gave crisp highs and booming bass, and clear sound. The Jlabs, by comparison, was like listening to music underwater. So take it from me, spend the extra $10 or $20 and get yourself some Sonys or equivalent mid-price range headphones.
Work great!.......2007-12-21
My brother kept complaining about how bad the ipod earphones sucks. I bought these as a gift for him and he has nothing negative to say about them!!

Customer Reviews:
Best ear buds - perhaps.......2007-12-26
I've had many brands of earbuds up to $50 - these are the best. The bass is very strong but clean. Got 2 pair now and if I need another set I'll buy another pair of these.
Hello Bass, Please return my music.......2007-12-26
These produced so much bass with my I pod that I could barely hear the music, just the pounding. I like bass, but unless that's all you want to hear, then these are not for you. There were a comfortable fit, but the cord tangles easily.
great buy.......2007-12-25
these headphones are excellent, the sound quality is as good as the headphones 4 times the price. bass is awesome, and the silicone buds actually fit comfortably and block out most background noise. for 30 bucks this is a steal, no point buying the metal ones unless u really want something shiny
Huge improvement over apples earbud.......2007-12-22
These earbuds defiantly hold up to title description and are better then the same price you would pay for apples version. I have a ipod and i also paid a lot of money for apples version of earbuds, while they were significantly louder the thin silicon ear cups were disappointing in holding themselves inside my ear as i worked out. Even more so they were too fragile when the cord got disconnected and i was left with just one working ear bud. I buy these V-MODA and not only does the black color match my black ipod but they were cheaper and work better. The silicon cups are thicker then apples and hold way better, i switched from the small to medium size and hardly move; also due to the thickness it locks out outside noise better. The sound itself is very sharp and the bass itself kicks in on certain songs with a decent beat, i highly recommend you buy these earbuds especially at the price they are being offered. Lastly these earbuds come with a small plastic cord tab to wrap up the excess cord so it doesn't swing wildly around and get caught on corners, very helpful as well at the gym
GREAT headphones.......2007-12-20
Ordered them in white, to match my iphone.
The bass in these are AMAZING. i spend hundred's of dollars on previous headphones, including shure's and bose, and for price, and comfort, these are the best headphones I have ever purchased
Pros: Great Value, comfort, sound, and some noise cancellation. Awesome and sleek design and fit.
Cons: They DO NOT work with the iPhone. The jack is to thick, and the iPhone has a deep jack socket so they are not compatible. Therefore, to use with an iPhone, you need the Belk Adapter, which sticks out like a radio antenna because its so long.
Otherwise. AWESOME deal and Product. Highly Recommended.

Pretty darn good for $5 headphones.......2007-12-26
This product is a steal. I'm no audiophile, but it sounds quite decent to me. I've been using it almost everyday for about a month now and it still hasn't died on me. I was worried that it wouldn't have the noice-reducing capabilities of my old j-buds, but they do, so i'm a very happy customer. Why not 5 stars? They don't come in black and it makes me worry that they'll randomly die on me any day now.
Worth the Price.......2007-12-24
While not the best in-ear headphones, the price of these certainly makes them better than almost anything else on the market. Not as comfortable as the apple version, but at 1/4 the price the difference is negligable. They do turn up the bass when used with an ipod, but using the "bass reducer" equalizer setting seemed to fix any problems. All in all, a good buy.
Very good for the price.......2007-12-21
I've used lots of earphones and these are superb. Great sound quality and very comfortable, I sometimes forget I even have earphones on. Only problem is that it takes little work to get the earphone to stay in my ear because I have big ears, but once it's in it's smooth sailing. Watch out for the silicone tips though, I accidentally stepped on the earphone and it fell off, it was pretty easy to put it back in though but nonetheless be careful.
stereo headphones.......2007-12-21
Nothing special about these headphones. When properly placed in the ears they do cut out external sound to a degree. Decent sound for the price.
Good quality.......2007-12-18
Great quality for the price. However if you plan to walk or run with your earphones never purchase this item. At least in my case they fall off a few times a minute while walking. I ended up taking off the plastic seal and then put them in my ear. Then it worked ok.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent headset.......2007-12-18
After reading all the negative reviews about this product I decided to suck it up and give it a try. I've been using this headset for about 1-2 months now and I have no complaints so far. The microphone works great, the headset fits comfortably on head, and it has a sturdy frame. I mostly use it to play online games, but it's also good for listening to music, watching movies, etc. The only things that bothers me though is that sometimes when adjusting the volume it almost feels like I'm losing sound in one part of the headset, but it's not a big problem or it could be just me. Overall 5/5.
Good Product!.......2007-12-13
The headset has a good sound quality along with a good microphone quality, I tried it with many people on the net, it worked just fine! and by the way, its price is good too!
Keep Moving.......2007-12-12
So perhaps I got the bad seed in the bunch, but I really did not enjoy this product. The volume from the microphone is very very very low, even when it is set to high. Also, when it arrived, one of the ears of the headphones did not work. I would have shipped it back for exchange, but the cost of shipping was close to the price of the object, so why bother? Luckily, it wasn't that expensive. That being said, I guess you get what you pay for!
Ok at first, broke after extended use. Mic not great. Look elsewhere..........2007-12-09
I am online searching for a new gaming headset now as these broke, right on the side where they adjust into the plastic, so now they are trash. You get what you pay for. I usually love Logitech products, but this is not one I love. The mic was never great, people constantly having trouble hearing me even after lots of tweaking. I have a high-end sound card on my PC and this set just didn't do anything great with it.
Going to spend a bit more after I read review and get something nicer since I use it so much.
Look elsewhere.
Microphone sends noisy distracting sound when moved.......2007-11-27
There is some comfort, BUT when the microphone is adjusted, there is a static sound that interupts conversation. Logitec needs to do further engineering on the product.

Don't be dissipointed at first.......2007-12-25
Received these as a Christmas gift to complement my new iTouch. I did a bit of research and decided to ask for these rather than the Sonys that my roommate rants and rants about. After my initial run I was extremely disappointed. On first listen everything was clear but if boosted the bass a little bit I felt like the earphones could have used a compressor of some sorts - I was hearing some crackling and unpleasant noises due to the increase in low frequencies. Now I agree with most of the other reviewers on this product - most people without a clue about EQing and audio quality have bass far too loud and, honestly, its not tasteful. But with the original eartips the bass response was just unacceptable. So I did some reading and saw to try out the foam eartips. I was completely blown away. They sounded like different earphones. It is so crucial to get a good seal in your ears or the bass suffers. Don't giv eup before trying the foam eartips!
Fabulous!.......2007-12-23
This is my second pair of etymotics - I lost my first pair, but they lasted a couple of years. I LOVE these - you have to get used to having something in your ear, but to me they are more comfortable and provide better noise isolation than the bulky Bose headphones I have - and they require NO batteries. These are lifesavers considering I travel over 150K miles a year on planes...
extremely disappointed.......2007-12-22
I purchased my COWON I7 a couple of weeks ago. The stock earpieces, being rigid round plastic, are extremely uncomfortable, and I had read buying after-market earphones was the way to go to enhance sound and comfort.
I decided to try the Etymotic Research ER6i earbuds because they looked far more comfortable, and some of the reviews revealed good sound as long as they were placed correctly.
Out of the box, the Etymotic earphones were missing the replacement tool that was listed in the package documentation as included. I was able to change earpieces without it. The problem is that the moment I put these in, I was appalled. The sound was extremely tinny and thin, reminiscent of the cheap free portable radios banks or casinos give away as a promotion. I tried the different earpieces included in the kit, crammed them DEEP into my ears, and tried different settings on my Cowon equalizer. Although by doing so I got slightly better bass response, the overall sound was very thin and weak. The leads going to the earpieces also were very thin, transmitted noise, and the main lead had a very sharp kink in it (over 90 degree) from being tie-wrapped/packaged incorrectly. It was inevitable that the cord would soon break at that point.
My Cowon stock earbuds have a more substantial cord, do not transmit movement noises through the cord, and have far better sound quality. The only downfall is the discomfort, which is substantial. I have to believe I can buy a $67 pair of aftermarket earbuds that have at least the quality of the stock ones, with some added comfort. The Etymotic earphones are headed back to Amazon for a refund as I type this. I give these one star because they are slightly better than using no headphones at all.
Ear Buds.......2007-12-21
They fit my ear really well, great on long airplane flights (block out a lot of unwanted noise, eg crying baby). Slightly concerned about pulling the wire out from the ear bud but so far that they have been great. Much more worth the money than Shures lower level earbuds, at least in my opinion. The bass isn't going to be thumping like regular headphones if thats what your looking for, but if you want more crisp treble and midrange. these are worth it
Good Earphones for the price.......2007-12-18
I got these specifically for flying and they work very well. I prefer the inner ear earphones over around the ear noize canceling headphones for travel. These are small and effective.

Great Product!.......2007-12-26
Bought 3 of these, as early Christmas presents, for the kids right before taking a trip. Best money I've every spent. The units worked great the whole trip. Only issued we had was when one of the kids in the back used the remote control. It affected all the players. Other than that they are great.
really good buy.......2007-12-23
this a fantastic product, i can see my favourites movies anywhere, the headphones and carrying bag are very nice
Awesome buy.......2007-12-22
This was probably the best buy out there for a portable DVD player. The travel kit is complete and the case is a nice addition.
Screen size is perfect and the resolution is great and the audio is pretty darn good also.
I have no negative things to say about this product.
UP TO THIS MOMENT VERY GOOD PRODUCT.......2007-12-17
I lives in Venezuela, i receive my product in good condition and up to this moment it works cool.
Audiovox poor performance dvd players.......2007-12-10
I gave this product one star only because ZERO stars is not an option. I am researching this site to find a replacement auto DVD player, to replace the SECOND Audiovox player I have. Both worked only a short period of time, 1-3 months, after that player would not load disc. First one returned when it quit after a month or so, and I got another because I thought the first one must have been defective. Now I think all Audiovox products are defective! All DVDs I tried were store purchased Sesame Street, and they work in all other DVD players except the Audiovox. The players worked initially, but went bad shortly after purchase. I will never buy another by the manufacturer; even though they are inexpensive, I never used them for more than an hour at a time (maximum) maybe 1-2 times a week, so I feel they should have lasted longer than a few months. Never watched a full-length movie, only 30 to 60 minute Kiddie shows. So two Audiovox dual dvd portable players quit working for no reason, other than poor quality workmanship. I am amazed that so many people gave it good reviews. If someone gave me one as a gift, I would exchange it for something else. No way I would spend money on this product again.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent sound unaffected by body motion!.......2007-12-24
I'm a treadmill runner who also lifts weights. The ear buds that came with the Shuffle my daughter gave me wouldn't stay in my ears in workouts because of body motion so I wanted something that wouldn't slip or fall out. I've worn these for about 10 75-minute workouts and also for one extended 4-5 hour leaf-raking. I can tell you that these are nothing short of terrific. The sound is excellent with good balance between bass and treble. Body motion is no problem at all. On the bench the wrap-around design sometimes bumps the bench, but it doesn't knock them out of my ears. A slight repositioning of my head when I'm bench pressing takes care of the bump.
I've never tried noise-canceling earphones, but these make me think I have all I need. The Y where I work out plays music, but it is not noticeable. This might be because I play my music loud. It doesn't seem too loud to me, but the volume certainly impacts how much external sound you hear. When I want to have a conversation, it is easy to remove these phones by just dropping them around my neck, like a necklace.
On harder workouts, I have had some perspiration trickle into my right ear, but I just dried it off. It created no problem.
The mint green color - a Sennheiser trademark apparently - is kind of cool.
Finally, headphones for running!.......2007-12-17
Let me say it right up front: the iPod has revolutionized my running. After 30 years of pounding the pavement, injuries were beginning to take their toll and boredom was becoming an issue. It was getting easier and easier to look out the door and say "Oh, geeze, it's overcast today; better not run."
The iPod changed that; running with programable non-skipping music was great. I found my motivation again.
EXCEPT.....
This earbuds that come with the IPod are terrible. The jarring thump of pounding the pavement pops them out every few yards. I was on a quest to find a replacement.
The Sennheiser PMX70s are the answer for any runner. The design places the earpieces comfortably in the ears. Soft rubber surround the peice so they are in there to stay. The headpiece wraps around the back of the head but does not come in physical contact, however, this design stabalizies the phones and keep them in place.
The sound is a vast improvemnt over the original issue earbuds and surpass any other "exercise phones" I have tried (and believe me, I've tried a lot). They will not top over the ear models for sound quality but for running, the sound is quite good with good highs and great bass (I recommend setting the iPod EQ on the "Loudness" setting). You can also hear outside noises so you can remain alert to the dangers of the road.
Best sports headphones ever.......2007-12-15
These are hands down the best sports headphones I have ever used. The sound is clear and accurate and they block out a lot of external gym noise. The neckband is comfortable and the headphones DO NOT slip at all. Great buy.
Great for exercising with...........2007-12-11
Really great headphones, especially when you go jogging or any other type of exercise as these seem to be the only headphones that I have ever purchased that actually stay on your ears when causing great physical moment. For example, the other week I was hit by a double-decker bus whilst jogging and they still stayed on! Even the paramedics were amazed...
Seriously, great headphones. Even the lime colour grows on you and gives the brand a unique quality (like the original i-pod white headphones). I suppose there is a practicality to the colour, for example they stand out and may give warning to others that your hearing maybe impaired to due to listening to music. Or maybe the designers were on mind-bending drugs, who knows?
The wire is long enough to make it comfortable when jogging, and the wire is also great as it is very good at remaining slack and doesn't hardly 'curl' up.
The sound is great, with good bass - which isn't normally good in regards to in the ear headphones. But the sound can only be great if you have a good mp3 player, CD player to go with it (and vise versa).
Two problems I have encountered, first they do hurt the ol' ears a bit after a while but I have never had a pair of inside the ear earphones (and I have had loads) that DO NOT ache/hurt after a while. But this problem only depends on when you were them. If you wear them for exercising, then an hour or so is probably the average time you spend wearing them.
Secondly, the ones I purchased seem to have a slight static/hiss problem from the connector to the mp3 that becomes obvious when the wire near the connector moves, but I think it was just a one off problem with mine, and it really isnt THAT noticable, but it is there.
All in all, a great set of headphones, Sennheiser always seem to be above more famous brands when it comes to quailty and comfort. I bought these after buying a set of Sennheiser ear muff type headphones for my PC, and the sound was amazing.
Best I've ever used.......2007-12-08
I have been running for 30 years and these are far and away the best sports headphones I have ever used. I just finished an hour run and they were completely comfortable the entire time. They never moved or fell out of my ears and they sound GREAT! They don't sound quite as good as my Ultimate Ears in-ear phones, but you shouldn't expect them to since the Sennheisers still allow you to hear sound around you, which is crucial for running. There was a little bit of wind noise if heading directly into a decent wind, but not enough to be a distraction. I can see why one of the reviews said there was a lot of wind noise while biking. These headphones blow away the Sony, Nike, and iPod headphones I have used in the past in sound quality, comfort, and stability. Get some and you won't be sorry.

Amazon.com Product Description
Many noise-reducing headphones feature large, over-the-head or behind-the- neck headbands, making them rather bulky to use while traveling or working out. Not so the Sony MDR-EX71SLA Fontopia headphones, whose ultra-light, in-the-ear design sounds great while minimizing distracting ambient noise. The closed-type construction makes the headphones a perfect fit for airline, train, or bus travel, or while dancing or skating to your own tunes. The phones owe their audio performance to the extra- small 9 mm drivers and neodymium magnets fitted inside each earpiece. The drives and magnets combine to generate high-intensity sound, with a deeper-than-expected bass response (as low as 6 Hz) and refreshingly crisp mid- and high-range tones (all the way up to 23 kHz). Listeners will also dig the three sizes of earbuds that come with the headphones, ensuring that users find the right match for their individual ear shapes while enjoying long-lasting comfort. And thanks to the dual cord lengths--1.65 feet (original) and a 2.3-foot extension--the phones are great for both iPods and MP3 players on armbands or belt clips.
Other details include an oxygen-free copper cord that reduces noise and improves signal transfer, a gold-plated mini-plug that resists corrosion, a stylish neck chain cord, and a streamlined carrying case that slips easily into a shirt pocket. The 100 mW phones, whose white color matches iPods perfectly, is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and a 90-day warranty on labor.

Fontopia headphones, hard carrying case, 2.3-foot extension cord, three sizes of earbuds, user's manual.

Wow amazing headphones.......2007-12-24
I was a little scared to buy these headphones after reading poor reviews I bought these anyway and they blow my stock ipod ear phones away. I barely have to turn the volume up to get great sound. I might be ordering two more of these one for my brother and an extra for me. Yes the cord can be annoying and makes no sense why sony made one cord longer than the other,but who cares when you get comfortable fit and nice sound. If it wasn't for the cord design these would get 5 stars. These are my first set of in the ear headphones.
ok.......2007-12-20
I love the sound quality and I used them every day at work for 11-12 hrs this summer - very comfortable. I personally like the long length of the cord when walking around campus, easy to put my mp3 player in my purse or in my coat. Granted I dont know why you would ever need such a short cord.. so the extension is necessary. The silver piece that goes over where the wires connect broke for me.. it doesn't stay in place. If I'm not careful with them I have bare wires showing where they connect - this happened after about two years of heavy use. Over all I'm pretty happy with these headphones.
Horrible.......2007-12-19
Sound okay. Assymetrical cord is ridiculous unless you like all the weight on one ear. Cord material is some garbage rubber that tangles up on itself much easier than anything I've used. Rubber disintegrates very quickly from normal perspiration. They're junk, period.
decent.......2007-12-14
good sound, but the cord is a bit long and heavy at times due to the connection at extention
the BEST earphones!.......2007-12-13
Bought these a few weeks ago... they work great. They are comfortable in your ear. It blocks out a lot of the background noise so you can actually hear the music without having to turn the volume up! The earphones come with one side longer than the other. This is because the longer side is supposed to go BEHIND your neck. It also comes with an extension. Without the extension, it's too short for normal use. However, if you have an ipod shuffle or an armband for your ipod, then it's perfect length. Otherwise, you'll have to use the extension. The sound quality is great! I love these earphones

Great sound, painful fit.......2007-12-20
I picked these up locally, having wanted a set of wireless headphones for my office.
- Sounds great. I start to get choppiness about 50 feet away from the base, but that's plenty for me, I really just want them for the 6 feet in my cube!.
- Battery life is OK, not great. Lasts maybe 4 hours of continuous play, which isn't long enough for me.
- Fit is horrible. My ears ache after wearing them for 15 minutes. They don't sit on my ears right, constantly having to fiddle with them and adjust them.
I would not buy these headphones again and would not recommend you do so.
These definetly fit the bill!.......2007-12-20
I was a bit worried after first purchasing these but I'm completely satisfied now that I have them up and running. I listen to the radio through my computer at work and needed something that was reliable but didn't tether me to my computer by the cord. These headphones work perfectly, they allow me to type at my computer and freely walk around the room and never get disconnected. They are also very comfortable and fit well over the ears with surgical rubber ear hooks. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge charge the item.
Very uncomfortable.......2007-12-12
Sound quality is OK but the loops around your ears are very uncomfortable. Can't wear for over an hour.
Just the sound.......2007-12-08
I should have paid more attention to the review comments telling me these headphones were uncomfortable. I already own a behind-the-neck wired headset from Logitech and they are quite comfortable. This wireless set; however, is poorly designed for human beings and they don't fit my cat either.
The 'phones and base unit have a hidden link code, so I could not pair the 'phones with my iPAQ; this is very irritating.
The batteries for both the base & 'phones are built-in rechargeable so the life of the batteries is the life of the product. The charge on the 'phones lasts maybe 3 hours, not so good at all.
I own several Logitech products and am quite satisfied with both the design and value of these items. The FreePulse unit is an exception to this. They pretty much suck.
The sound is great though.
Awesome.......2007-12-06
Seriously, being able to rock out wirelessly is such a godsend! I feel that they are very comfy on my ears and very easy simple and straightforward to use. No software just plug and play...also great sound and so lightweight! I dont share the dissapointment that others had with these. I think they are worth every penny.
