Excellent headphones with one small problem January 23, 2008
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
There are others that have spot on reviews here, but I wanted my voice and review to be heard and added. I intend to keep my review short and simple, since we are after all talking about headphones.
First off, these are great sounding headphones. To echo what someone else said they don't have the overbloated bass found often in other headphones. Although, on the flip side, I would almost like a little more bass. But overall, less is more in this case. What does remain though is a nice, clean, and liquidy sound. Liquidy is a hard thing to find in a pair of headphones in this price range I feel.
So whats it's one problem? While I absolutely LOVE the look and design of these headphones (including the bungie cord texture and the magnetic earbud connection) it is the one thing that causes it's flaw. And that flaw is that because of it's rough texture, if it rubs up against something you hear it transfer to the earbuds, and thus interferes with the sound. While it is noticable to tell that sound from the music, it does distract after a while.
For instance, I used it while shoveling snow (that time of year)...I could hear everytime I moved. I imagine running or exercising in any way would be the same case. Now sitting still. No problem. Overall this one element brought the overall score down one star. Still an awesome and eyecatching set of earbud headphones, but not perfect.
 Excellent headphones! November 29, 2007

It took me 3 days to realize how to use these headphones. You have to push them in your ears and then when the rubber expands they seal your ear and create the noise reduction. The sound quality is excellent. They aren't bose in that bose creates more of a seal and blocks out about 40% more sound, BUT for $30+ bucks these are great. I've spent at leaste $75 on headphones in 2 years. This was the best choice so far. VERY COMFORTABLE. They haven't fallen out of my ears after I learned how to place them in.
Nice in-ear headphones for a good price. January 17, 2008

Pros:
*movable wire splitter to keep the headphones together when not in use
*has a fabricated cover (instead of rubber over the wires)
*magnatized earpieces
*comfortable
*different sized rubber coverings
*comes with a bag (with a magnetic close)
*has a removable stretchy pink thing (i wrap the headphones around my zune and put the eapieces through it to keep them from coming undone)
*very noise-cancelling
Cons:
*if the wire rubs against you while they are in, it makes a noise, but when you listen to music you can't really hear it
*they are very noise-cancelling, yes this was a pro too but it can be annoying because you cant talk at the same time (this is true for all headphones), but you can take one out and stick it to the other with the magnet and that works fine
Bottom Line:
These are very nice headphones for the price (a few of my friends have commented on how nice they are too).
I would highly recommend them.
Sounds good, but is it really better? November 21, 2007

I recently purchased the Zune Premium Headphones v2 after an accident destroyed my old head phones (but luckily left my Zune completely in tact). I specifically was looking for the magnetic headphones and so far these Premium headphones have lived up to their name. With several different sizes to fit the ear, it is easy to mix and match until you get that comfortable fit. Plus the sound quality is noticeably better, not only when plugged into my Zune, but also when plugged into a computer.
But is it worth the price? Probably not. I like to keep one headphone in my ear with the other one magnatized and although I can do that with these headphones their larger size and overall bulky-ness makes is difficult to keep them from coming apart of falling out of my ear when I move around. Also although the connectors do fit more easily into my ear than the old headphones, the rubber doesn't feel as nice as the cloth slip-overs.
If they sold the original headphones I would reccomend getting them over these, but since they don't this is a good alternative.
great for the price! January 18, 2008

I saw a friend with these and decided to give them a try, even though i am not a zune owner. Was very pleased to find them for sale on amazon and was amazed at the price. I have owned A LOT of ear bud headphones in search of the best possible pair. While I have owned better headphones (my shure e4's may be the best) you can not find a better pair of headphones for the price.
the only thing that stopped this from getting 5 stars is the cloth cable. While they are attractive an stay cleaner and less knotted up that the typical black plastic cable, they transmit a lot of noise as they move across your clothes. was more distracting initially, but i've learned how to avoid moving the cable too much.
bottom line: great sound and comfortable fit and priced to make them an excellent choice.
