  Fab sound but not long lasting

| | See all Funboii's reviews (1)

The sound produced from these was absolutely spot on for the price. Great bass and great high frequencies. I heard parts of the songs I'd never heard before and this made all my music a lot more enjoyable.

However, these only lasted a few months before falling apart in some way and breaking/coming loose, probably the wires connection, and so are no longer any use. Great shame.

  Poor Silicone cushions

These are the worst in ear headphones I have ever had, the silicone is much to hard to create a proper seal in your ear and also hurt a lot, because the seal is so bad its hard to get good bass out of these headphones and my family have given them ago and also agree that these are very poor - I have managed to put on some sony cushions I had lying around and I now get superb sound but these aren't a great fit to the earphones.

I bought these thinking I was getting a pretty good deal, but not so. The sound quality is absolutely appalling; quite possibly the worst I've ever heard. The solution this is to hold in the "multi-function button" (supposed to be used for answering in-coming phone calls etc.) which is located in the region of your chest. You'd be better off keeping the terrible headphones your mp3 player comes with.

First of all, amazing sound quality for the price. Get the earbud size right, push them in deep, and the sound quality is superb. I've owned various Sony's, CX300's, and these give the best bass response out of all of them. However, having tried all three ear buds, I constantly find them falling out as I walk. This happens very often, and I'd say I have to push them back in my ears every 5 mins. Shame, as otherwise these would be the best headphones I've owned.

Just received these today as a cheap replacement to my previous creative audio ones. Really impressed, sound is very full and definately have plenty of bass unlike a lot more expensive sennheiser ones i have tried which are very tinny. Quality seems good, but as with all headphones time will tell. They appear to be as well put together as more expensive ones I've owned so well chuffed and on first appearances can't go wrong for 12 squid.

  Best i've got

I have tried many headphones which either stopped working or fell apart. At first i was looking for a brand name and read alot on many headphones including what customers had to say.
These were on offer and i didn't know the name but thought i should give them a try. They are well worth the sound and quality.
The ear buds come out slightly and need pushing back in but then it reminds you about your ears. Best sounding headphones i have got bass and treb is v. good.
The wire is better quality too hence the headphones don't fall apart or one side stop working which i've had more then 10 times on other pairs! They come with a case which fits into pocket easily and keeps them clean and tidy and protected. Also the buds are better quality too they dont get hairs and other dust etc stuck on them.
Well worth it.

  Waste!!!

Utterly disappointed. The sound is rudely high on treble with poor bass. the headphone is strong as long-lasting but that;s no use if it can't deliver its main purpose. The ear buds just don't fit and keep falling off.....argh!

I hate these headphones. They have a horrible fit, they dont stay in for long and they keep making my ipod pause for no apparent reason. I don't even think the sound quality is all that amazing. I've bought cheaper ones in the past that have worked better than these. The only real positive i found was the little case they give you with it which is where i keep them, in a draw incase my new ones ever break.
