Great quality, great price
Bought these as back up for the Sennheiser CX300s I'm currently using with my Ipod. Tested them out on delivery and they're just as good if not better. Highly recommended.

Under £10?! This really is a steal...
I bought my first pair of these beauties while I was looking for a better standard of sound quality to compliment my Creative Zen Touch. I was at first a bit reluctant as they are the so-called "ear bud" or inner ear style, and I had doubts on how comfortable they would be.

After choosing the correct sized ear bud (small - I found a snug fit here, medium - probably for the majority of people, large - if this fits you, its probably because you haven't pushed it all the way in..), they immediately gave a sound quality I had never experienced with the standard el-cheapo creative headphones.

Here are the best points of these earphones:

1. They are comfortable, unlike the standard shaped earphones, which always started to hurt my ears over longer periods. Plus they stay in very well, I've been jogging with them no problem and even stop feeling anything there.

2. They block out a huge majority of the surrounding sounds, they aren't designed to have noise cancelling as such, but because the sound is being produced directly into your ear, they don't have to compete with other noises and the clarity stays, for example on the train or bus.

3. I found that I was using a much lower volume setting on my mp3 even in noisy situations such as on a bus, which still blocks out the surrounding sounds but also means that battery life is saved as well as your ears!

4. The range of frequencies and sound quality are impressive, the bass kicks in with real umph behind it (although it won't achieve the stupidly high amounts of bass some people want to drown out the rest of the music with) and mid to high range hold up perfectly. The sound quality is superb, so much so that I've noticed numerous parts of songs that I didn't know where there before! Even at loud volumes, the quality also holds up and I've never experienced any crackling like many other earphones.

5. I know some reviews have been going on about poor build quality and I felt this needed to be set straight..sure they look and almost feel a bit flimsy around the earphone and cable join especially, but I had my first pair for 2 and a half years (during which time I was jogging and got hit by a motorbike, which killed my mp3 player but the earphones stayed completely intact! This incident also illustrated their sound/motorbike engine blocking!). So basically, as long as you are a bit careful with them, and don't stuff them to the bottom of your bag etc. then they WILL last.

6. On a personal note, I also like that they're extremely discreet whilst being worn, handy in lectures..

7. Taking all of the above into account, the price tag on these is stupidly cheap! I bought these originally for around £15-20 and to get them for under a tenner is fantastic value, worth just buying to give a go!

There are a couple bad points..

1. They are less robust than most other chunkier earphones, but againg this is fine if you take a bit more care with them (they won't break just from being used).

2. I had to start making sure the cable couldn't move/rub against too much as this can amplify a rubbing sound straight into your ear, but this now isn't a problem. For this same reason its very hard to eat and listen to music, picking at straws here really!

So basically, if you want cheap (!) earphones with excellent sound quality and longevity then get these, even if you don't like them in the end..its worth the tiny investment.

Also just to mention that mine recently stopped playing sounds out both buds (I think the wire in the main cable has finally broken from use over the 2 and a half years) but I have already ordered a new pair and will probably continue to!

Great... while they last.
Got these in June, and they were fantastic until the right speaker suddenly died a couple of days ago. I realise they were cheap, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect more than a few months usage before they give up the ghost. I have now ordered a pair of Sennheiser, and I can but hope that they won't be as shoddy and short-lived as those made by Creative Labs.
