like 'em a lot April 2, 2007

I bought these headphones to replace my Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones. I like these better for one two reasons
1) completely superficial reason - it matches my black ipod
2) completely non superficial reason - it's better for my hearing
I typcially keep the sound on my ipod locked at 75% to minimize damage to my ears. With these JBuds I don't have to take that precaution, because I never have to raise the volume up that high. And I listen to my ipod chiefly going back and forth on the subway in D.C., where it can be pretty difficult to block out the sound of the train. I'm really glad I bought them.
Two words of caution, however. First, I don't think the sound is as good as it was with the Sony headphones. I listen mostly to podcasts and audiobooks, though, so it doesn't affect me much. Also, I'm not an audiophile so my standards aren't that high. Secondly, I've gone through 3 pairs of these types of headphones due to the rubber tips falling off. While I prefer these type of headphones to other in-ear phones (I've got small ears, and other types hurt), this is getting pretty aggravating. So electronic companies? Work on that.
Good Value at This Price Point December 2, 2006

While these JBUDS did not, in a side by side comparison, provide as much surrounding, warm sound as my Sennheiser 212 headphones, they provided excellent clarity, especially on KJAZZ radio. Talk formats are also excellent. The comfort is surprisingly good for an in-ear bud. For 20 dollars, this is a great substitute for the cheaper buds that come with most MP3 players.
Update on 12-21-06: I've come to be more impressed with my JBuds over the last two weeks, marvelling at the bright, crisp, and yes, warm sound that comes out of these inexpensive buds. Perhaps, as I've read in some of the headphone information that is out there, that there is a "breaking in" period, which has something to do with loosening the tranducer. In any event, I'd have to give these JBuds another star.
Second Update 10-8-07: My only complaint about the JBuds is that sleeping with them at night I will sometimes wake up and the bud will have fallen off. I can't secure the buds to my satisfaction; however, the JBuds are so comfortable I deal with this problem.
Third Update 1-7-08: The sound is not quite as good as the slightly more expensive V-Moda; however, the JBuds are easier on my ears for long-term (I sleep with them on) listening.
 Wonderful - best $20 headphones you can buy March 1, 2007

Awesome headphones. I love these guys and have been using them for about 6 months now. Their sound is impeccable, and are extremely comfortable, I wear them while studying I mean like 8-10 hours a day, and never really notice them. I wouldn't say that these are actually noise cancelling via electrical interference, its more via sound muffling than anything, but don't misinterpret, with the sound at a medium volume you will kill all but the loudest ambient noise. I highly recommend these. Flat out the best $20 I have EVER spent.
 You Get What You Pay For - Flat & Muddy Sound December 12, 2007

For $17, these are a solid, but middling performer. The sound is kinda flat and muddy (insufficient high frequency, which diminishes intelligibility for voice podcasts -- my primary use). This style provides some passive reduction of external noise because the soft silicone adapters fit inside the ear entrance. But as soon as the price drops on the Apple M9394G in-ear headphones (similar design, but much brighter and clearer sound) back into the reasonable range (below $30), I'll buy another set of those (the dog ate my previous pair!) These JBuds' flat response might sound OK to some ears for music, but not for voice ranges or high frequency response.
 Another disappointed customer... January 8, 2007

Like D. Miller, I found these "ear buds" to be a major disappointment over my iPod-standard headset and others I have tried. The base seems okay, but the high-end is almost non-existent and the overall affect is very muddy and dissatisfying... I spent twenty minutes swaping back and forth between these and my girlfriends nano headphones, and couldn't believe how poorly they performed in comparison. And the "noise reducing" feature is hardly so - the iPod headset did as much when properly installed. $20.00 is no bargain for these mediocre earphones...
Only positive thing - the fit was much more secure and comfortabel than the iPod standard headset. At least I learned which style of headset I prefer.
