Decent deal, not sure if Jai can get a better deal at ingram, but i'm thinking of ordering a pair. It'd probably be my new airplane earbuds.

nice, if i can sell the set that i have now, i may pick these up.
thanks for the tip.

been reading reviews on these, they're pretty positive. the only consistent con i can find is that moving around causes the cord to generate a decent amount of noise that transfers into the buds... i doubt i'll be jogging with these any time soon so it should be alright.

anyways, ordered, it came up to $22 and change after tax

hm, that's no good then, cause the only time i'd use them is when i'm moving around or something. i guess i just saved myself $22 and change lol.

lol... oh well

post up a review when you get them anyway.

got these in the mail yesterday. There's some cord noise, but to be honest, i don't really notice all that much. I have had 2 other earbud headphones in the past and they all transfer cord noise the same way just because of the nature of how earbuds are jammed into your ear canal. And it blocks outside noise pretty well.

anyways, i compared them to a crappy pair of headphones that came with the 3rd gen nano we got many moons ago. Bass is noticeably better, and the treble and mids are pretty clear. Definitely wouldn't pay full price for them, but not bad for $22 and change. They'll serve well as a pair of airplane headphones.

are they comfy to wear at least?

Yup, they're pretty comfy. Like most earbud headphones, they come with 3 diff sizes of rubber bud attachments so they should fit whatever sized ears you have. Mind you i haven't worn them for an extended period of time so i can't comment about prolonged wear.

yeah, i used to just use the stock earbuds from my nano, but they hurt like heck after like a half hour.
then i started using this no-name set from fynn which were pretty comfy but i started to realise that i don't like sticking things so deep into my ear.
now i have a set of over-the-ear, which are freaking huge but man alive they sound pretty good. but if only i weren't trying to offload them lol.

so i considered these, but after the cord noise thing and me realising i don't like wet willies all day (or the one or two times a month i'll use them), i might just stick with listening to music in my car lol.

haha... wet willies? not like i suck on the buds before i put them in my ears...

over the ears are nice but those aren't as convenient to pack when you're travelling. Plus it leaves a horizontal indent in my hair when i take the headphones off lol...

anyways, seems like we have different music needs so yea, i wouldn't recommend these to you if you're looking for something you can wear while moving about all the time.

lol yeah the horizontal indent.
actually, the reason i didn't use cans before is because of my earrings, they always used to rip the foam up haha.

yup, it was a pain.
