 "Super Bass" is appropriate: it's all you can hear. July 5, 2007

Having just bought these headphones based on the recommendations I read on this product page, I can say that they do not by any means live up to the exaggerated claims posted here.
These are a pair of <$10 speakers, and they sound about as good as that. They do NOT, as two other reviewers suggested, sound like high-end in-canal headphones in any regard. While they fit comfortably in my ears, the sound produced is muffled with very poorly defined mid and high range frequencies. Worse yet, within 5 minutes of listening to the killers, my right ear began to hurt and I had to stop listening. This was not fatigue from the shape of the phones, but simply the sensation of my eardrums crying out in agony.
That such cheap headphones would produce such poor quality sound should come as no surprise, and had it not been for the overwhelmingly positive voices in the comments section here, I would never have considered buying them. I just thought I would set the record straight. They're pretty crappy.

I dare you to find a person who is still using his/her original earbuds. (or even their second or third pair.) Regardless of price, the things get lost, get tangled, get wet, get stepped on, etc. Thus, I'm always looking for ear buds that will stay in my ears, produce acceptable sound for activities outdoors where there's ambient noise, and survive routine use. If I want concert hall sound, I'll go to a concert hall or at least sit quietly in my living room with a big pair of Bose over my ears. For the price, these are really hard to beat.
$20 sound at a $6 price, plus decent noise cancellation and comfortable to wear. July 17, 2008

It would be unfair to compare these earphones to the some other more expensive earphones I own like Shure E2c Sound Isolating Earphones or Philips SHE9850 In-Ear Headphones with Advanced Acoustics. The Coby earphones cannot reproduce the highs and lows as faithfully as those earphones in the sub $100 range. However,you get good sound for a tiny fraction of the cost of the high end earphones.
Sound Quality:
The Coby earphones compare very favorably to the in earphones in the sub $25 range like Philips SHE9500 Ultra Sound In Ear Headphones or JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Ear Buds (White). The sound of these Coby earphones is decent, they also have good bass and pretty good noise reduction. The noise reduction is not as great as some of the sub $100 earphones I have used but is good enough for listening on a plane ride. This is probably the best noise reduction you can get in the sub $20 range!
Comfort:
These are one of the more comfortable in ear phones I've owned. The flex rubber sleeves are thinner than usual and fit comfortably in the ear. I can wear them for hours without feeling any discomfort. They also don't fall out which is a big plus. The only in ear headphone that was more comfortable than these is the Philips SE9850 that came with memory foam sleeves that molds to fit your ears.
Make:
The make of these earphones is ok. The cord is quite thin and does have a tendency to tangle a bit. When you get them you have to tear apart the cord as per your preference, there is a little plastic sleeve midway to ensure you don't end up tearing them all the way down. They did seem a bit flimsy to me but in 2 months of use these earphones have held up quite well. And seriously, even if they do get damaged after a few months it will take only $5 to replace them.
Overall:
If you're like me and like to have more than one earphone lying around, this is a great product. After I lost my $100 Shures when they fell out of my pocket, I prefer to take these with me for more active trips. They sound good, don't fall out of my ears and hold up well to moderately rough use...and if I lose them, no big deal...just get a new pair.

I love these headphones. I used to have horrible luck with headphones. I could never hear anything unless they were really loud. Not wth these. They are almost like ear plugs. You can barely hear anything other than the music and its great. The sound is really good, you don't have to have the volume way up to hear the music. You cannot find better headphones for the price.

I've had these for just over two months now and I have to say they are worth a bit more than what I paid.
First off I must admit I'm no audiophile, but I do listen to a lot of different types of music: electronic, classical, pop, rock, reggae, rap... Through it all, these headphones have performed superbly. They can get fairly loud (I usually keep it lowish cause I don't want to lose my hearing), and have decent, though not spectacular, bass response. Mids and highs are okay as well.
So far they are more durable that a pair of $30 sennheiser I bought earlier (cable sleeves practically fell of that model).
The only mark against these phones is the short cable...its only about three feet. That's great for a player strapped to your arm, or on the belt, but frustrating otherwise.
Overall a fine pair of phones for an amazing price.
