It should be illegal to sell these. September 28, 2008
I am shocked by how terrible these sound. It reminds me of listening to an AM station on a portable transistor radio, if you're old enough to remember that. I'm surprised Maxell would put their name on these. I won't look at Maxell products the same way again.
Too bad I didn't check these reviews first... September 25, 2008
If you buy this product after looking at these reviews, you have only yourself to blame.
My excuse? My earbuds broke and I picked up a cheap replacement on the road (not via Amazon), just to tide me over. And, yeah, they are as terrible as the reviews here state. I'm astonished they're still for sale, they're so bad.
What I found worst (also mentioned in other reviews) is that the round part the goes in your ear is very hard plastic, and pretty large -- I'm a good-sized adult male, and these were too big for my ears. There's no give at all, and the straight part coming down to the cord is placed so they don't even stay in the ear. A gentle tug pops them out -- which, pathetically, comes as a relief at least to that ear.
The lousy fit also means the audio quality is very poor, and very low. Most of the sound was probably leaking out (and would thus annoy fellow transit passengers), so even when the volume was at its highest I sometimes couldn't make out the speech in a podcast.
Oh, and the cable is too short, too.
I'm switching back to my Sony MDR-ED21LP Fontopia In-The-Ear Headphones even though one channel has died. Good audio in only one ear is better than pain in both. (The JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Ear Buds (Black) are also quite adequate.)
OWWW They hurt! May 4, 2007

I wanted to buy some cheap-o headphones to wear at the pool with my old CD player...you know, something that I could have and if they got wet and ruined, I wouldn't be completely devestated. Unfortunately, you can only wear these for about 5 minutes before they hurt your ears. So I bought alternative headphones and put these away. Stupid me, I brought them out when I needed some in a pinch and they actually have been shocking my ears! They are not molded to fit in any ear and they have this nub on the side of each that kill! The sound quality isn't so bad but the fit is. Spend the extra money for comfortable ones. I'd even be so bold as to venture to the Apple store and buy the $20 earbud headphones that come with the iPods. Those things are great!

Put it this way, you get what you pay for (hopefully , you don't pay over 2 bucks for them). the sound is awful, it crackles, no bass. Ended up buying a set of "philips" for a few bucks more, couldnt be more pleased.
