I love them These are great, I use them for gaming at night and take them to work in my mp3 player in the morning Convenience: Most headphones only have a short cord, with these there's the option for long and short with the extension. I've got plenty of room now. And I can leave the bottom half plugged into my computer, so when I come home I dont have to pull the computer out just to stick in my headphones and mic. Sound Quality: I can pretty much hear myself breathing when I dont have any sound coming through them. They block out outside noise, and I'm hearing things in music and in games I never heard before even with speakers. And the best part is the volume is turned way down. You dont have to crank it up in order to overshadow the background noise, there is none. Comfort: They are a tad bit itchy, but that comes with any inside the ear earphones. One thing I like is that it fits easily inside your ear, I have small ears and the headphones for an ipod or any other inner ear-phones kill my ears after 30 mins, these are very comfortable. And they dont fall out or need repositioning, they fit right in. Assets: It comes with 3 sets of rubber things for the ear peice, all different sizes, some with out the lips. Extention for the mic and the earphones A small grey bag to put them in to carry or for storing. Fantastic item! Is a godsend in busy, noisy places Perhaps the reviewer above should turn up his bass on his mp3 player. I never noticed any huge reduction in bass myself. An assertion that stock earphones are superior to these is a huge exaggeration. I think these are a wonderful quality product, compact and well designed. I have a bose sound-reducing headset that is far too bulky to carry around for every day use. In the library, sounds of chattering around me fade into nothing - even announcements over the loudspeaker fade to a murmer that I sometimes miss. I travel often by plane and train, and even though these are not as good as the Bose in these situations, still far superior to normal earbud technology. I have not yet tried out the mic function so I cannot speak as to that, but the earphone function is rated 5 stars. Highly recommended!! Somebody doesn't know SOUND. Hey folks... this headset / mic combo is "the b*lls". It doesn't get much better than this. I dont think there's any way I could beat the deal I got. 10 bucks for my set. I love it. The microphone works great at work for Skype on my laptop. I have the Mic mounted on my computer (didn't want to get wires tangled by mounting on my shirt) and I can sit back and have a normal telephone voice with the other party hearing me just fine. I don't know much about background noise with the mic although I have used it at home with the TV on across the room. So maybe it's good with eliminating b/g noise. The headphones are cool too. As another reviewer notes... I have heard things in my music that I've never heard before. So the response these have is awesome. And the headphones are great on the subway too ( I live in NYC and take the train to work every day -- playing games on my PSP the whole time is much better with these headphones). Audio Level is good and I don't have to press it further into my ear to hear something over the train (I've done that with other headsets). The comfort level isn't great... but I've gotten used to it... and in the middle of a socom game, it's probably better to hear what I need to hear. The iPhone... these are not iPhone compatible out of the box. You'd need a coupler for that b/c there's only one jack on the iPhone. I would suggest getting something different for the iPhone. I imagine walking around with a separate mic would REALLY be annoying. I haven't tried the other attachments that came with it yet... but I imagine the optional "ear cuffs?" (don't know what they're called) are probably more comfortable but don't cancel outside noise as well. The fact that it comes with an extension is also straight DOPE. Haven't used that yet either... but I love the concept. Bottom line is... If you can find these head phones, get them. After using them, I'd probably pay more than 20 bucks if I had to replace them. For 10 dollars, it's a steal.
