Awesome headphones
- August 1, 2016[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the feel of the headphones since they are soft, I also like that they come with different size plugs so they stay in the ear nicely. They sound great and loud. they do not have a lot of bass but they do sound clear.

Good Enough for a Time
- February 26, 2021[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From what I can recall, these are rather inexpensive. They worked well, but after a while, the plastic coating on the wires wore off in a certain place, causing them to become exposed and bent/broken, which meant they would just stop functioning at all. I'm pretty sure this happened after the warranty expired. Womp womp. Oh and the interchangeable soft tips of earbuds are cool and actually super comfortable! Loved that. They do have a tendency to slip off of the place where they click in sometimes, though. Hope that makes sense. It's late and the terminology eludes me. I'd recommend getting something with a better warranty, though.

Solid noise cancellation; hurt my ears
- August 27, 2014[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Buying earbuds is an arduous process for me, as my ears are apparently weird mutant models. In this case, the buds were great at reducing noise and producing clear sound, but even with the smallest buds, they hurt my ears and gave me headaches after a short while. I'm not sure if that's due to the vacuum-like seal they produce in the ear canal or if my ears are just too darned weird for these particular devices. Regardless, I am certain what made these buds fail for me is less a product design issue than a personal issue, which will explain why I didn't give these a 1-star review. If you have particularly sensitive ears, these are probably not the best option for you. Me? I'll go back to the classic gummies.

Good walk-about earbuds
- January 11, 2012[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm rough on headphones. I listen to podcasts on my commute and doing household chores to the tune of probably 20 hours per week. I walk about a lot and have had a lot of problems with earbuds with bad wires, weak connections, and not staying in. I've had these about 2 months and they've taken my punishment and still work well. They isolate the noise very well. No signs of the wires failing from being tugged or caught too many times yet. Because they fit my ears pretty well, I don't need the volume as high either, which I assume is good for my smartphone battery life.

Durable with a good fit
- March 3, 2012[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first put these in I thought they were very comfortable and the 3 different sizes make it very easy to fit to your ear. The sound quality is less than most other headphones such as the ones that come with an iPod or iPhone. It is noticeably different but is very easy to get used to and soon you really can't tell the difference unless you switch quickly back and forth between 2 different pairs of headphones. It has a pretty intense bass and the sound is very articulate. I often have the problem of people hearing my music since I play it very loudly, but almost no sound escapes with these headphones. I can also hear my music at a very low volume, something I could not do before. Great product for the cheap price.

contore head is uncomfortable
- December 5, 2015[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are NOT one to take the time to figure out which ear bud goes in the left ear and which goes in the right ear, you will NOT like these ear buds. The head of each ear bud is bent to either the right or the left and is intended to fit in the corresponding ear. However, it is not as simple as one might think. For me I have to put it in my ear in order to feel if it is the correct ear bud for that ear. I think it is a pain in the butt because even if the ear bud is in the correct ear, the sound quality does not necessarily improve.

Good quality for the price!
- February 18, 2015[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to be honest here. I bought these for my daughter as she needed headphones for her tablet. Let me say this. For the price, they are actually quite impressive. They come with 3 sets of ear buds. My daughter is using the ear buds that come on them. I tried them and I found they were pretty comfortable. They also deliver a nice sound. Careful as they can get pretty loud as well. If you are looking for a cheap ear buds to listen to music or what ever then I don't think you would be disappointed in giving these a try.

Great while it lasted.....
- September 6, 2014[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a very good purchase for only $8 but the headset only lasted about a week for me. The fit and comfort of the earbuds were on point. I wanted an alternative to the headphones that came with my 5th generation ipod and I felt that this was a solid purchase. After about 6 days I lost sound from the left ear and the sound would often fade in and out. I never abuse my equipment so I guess it was simply a quality control issue. I think that I will pick up another set of the Skullcandy earbuds as my backup pair.

Kindergarten appropriate
- March 30, 2016[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i got these for my daughter for her classroom set. i liked them because they had lots of sizes for the in the ear portion of these buds. she could use the super small size with comfort and have her own set at school at a good price. but there were plenty of sizes for her to upgrade as she got older and used them in the school years to come. i have not used them myself so not sure of the sound quality, but i've used the brand before and never been disappointed.
