Hey all,
Like all of the iPod headphones I’ve ever had, the right headphone of my iPhone headphones started to crap out..
I ordered these from ShopRBC at half the MSRP and got them the next day. No instructions or anything, simple packaging.
They are heavy but in a good way. Because of the weight, they just sit in your ear: you don’t have to adjust it once it’s in your ear, it just fits.
I mic, I tested once and they couldn’t tell that I had a different headset. I do wish that it was smaller but I’m spoiled by the almost, non-existent mic on the iPhone headsets.
As far as sound quality, it took me a bit of test but the sound is a lot more crisp than iphone headphones..a lot. For $15, the sound clarity is amazing. As far as bass, it could use more. Even though it says that there is a “bass enhancer”, I felt that it was lacking. This may be due to being used to the iPhone headphones being muddled and bass heavy. Listening to them more, the sound is a definite improvement.
The sound cancellation is on-par with the iPhone headphones but I haven’t had a chance to test them on the bus yet.
Anyways, I definitely recommend these for $15 but I’m not sure if I would get these for $30 + shipping. If you have any questions, let me know.
