Better than Bose

"these earbuds are amazing. I get to try the Bose headsets often on my flights during my break but they are too big and not terribly comfortable, I cannot sleep on my side with them on! They are def equal if not better than the Bose headsets and very comfortable, can wear them for hours and cannot even feel them. Also use them at the gym and they stay on perfectly. I like having the volume control on the box too...." Read Full Review »

Replacement ear pads not available

"The ear phones do not work without the ear pads -- they are needed to wear the earphones and also provide sound isolation. Unfortunately the ear pads fall off very easily. I have other brands of earphones/ear buds of a similiar design and have never had this problem before. [...] The phones are useless without the pads...." Read Full Review »

"I bought these to replace the bulky over-ear noise cancelling headphones I have from Brookstone. I travel often on 13+ hour flights so blocking out noise to help me sleep is important. I wasn't really thrilled with these as compared to the over-ear pair. They do not cancel noise, they block it. You …"  Read Full Review »

Inactive noise cancelation

  • Comfortable

  • Noise adding
  • Too Much Ambient Noise

    Best Uses

"The "active" sound cancellation in these earphones is completely ineffectual. They do nothing to cancel airplane noise; in less noisy situations you can try turning on the sound cancellation and hear that it merely *adds* a little bit of white noise. Very disappointing. I accidentally left my old …"  Read Full Review »

"Maybe it's the difference in ear canal size, but I cannot hear these ear buds without constantly fiddling with them and poking them deep into my ear, only to have them move out every few minutes. Unless they are all the way in (and they won't stay) you cannot hear any sound fidelity, and there is no …"  Read Full Review »
