Several design issues
By JbtE
I really want to like these headphones, but there's several issues I've had after using them for a few days. I'll preface first, though, by saying that sound quality is pretty good. Not excellent, but pretty good for the inexpensive earbud range.There's several issues, though. First, I have a ton of difficulty getting the buds to stay in my ears with any of the included sizes. I can get them in, but after a few minutes of listening, they start sliding out. Having to constantly readjust becomes tiresome after only a few minutes. As some have noted, the bass richness is actually pretty good for earbuds, but obtaining a fairly rich base is contingent upon getting these fully in your ears and keeping them there. And, again, that's difficult to do. After they move even slightly, I completely lose that rich bass and they sound just like your standard ipod earbuds.I also find the cord to be a design issue. Instead of rounded cords (like a strand of spaghetti), these earbuds are equipped with a flat cord (more akin to fettucini... can you tell I'm Italian?). Noisehush claims the cords are designed to be tangle-free, and I suppose they work, as I haven't gotten them tangled yet. BUT, this design makes the cord flatter and heavier such that any movement to the cord - from turning your head, to brushing them with your hand, to them rubbing on your shirt - produces vibrations that resonate all the way up into the earpieces. This means constant vibrations and banging in your ears, which is beyond annoying. I've never experienced anything like this with any other headphones.So overall, while the sound is pretty good, the design issues are really noticeable. I wish I could throw my support behind them, but honestly, if I had to purchase them again - I would not.

Monster, watch out!!!
By AL
These definitely stay better in the ear while walking vs. the Monster Beats!!! That makes it 5 stars already for me. The $100 Dr Dre ear buds dont sound any better than these ear phones. Save your money and get these Noise hush earphones. The highs aren't overbearing. Think of these as a warmer sounding set of Dr. Dre...LOL! Better for my audiophile tastes. Great product and the craftsmanship is just as solid as the Monster ear buds.Pioneer ships super fast and the product is as advertised.

Bass heavy audio, and poor mic. quality
By Bob
.After seeing that the majority of buyers where giving this product 5 stars I decided to give it a try. It seems that most of the headsets I've tried to use with my Droid Bionic are lacking wither in comfort or quality in sound. This unit seems well made and the packaging is excellent, but for my purposes it's a just OK headset. The audio is ok, with decent mid's and highs' but the Bass is over exaggerated. The issue that really bothers me with this headset is the audio quality though. I have been searching for a wired headset hoping it will perform better than the Bluetooth headsets I have. With this headset I was told to take it off because people said it was muffled and not distinct, and when compared to the speakerphone app on my phone it short in terms of call quality.Over all this might be ok for the $16.99 that it currently sells for, but there are better solutions. If you want something to listen to music, (if you are not picky about balanced sound) and take casual calls this might work for you. For those who like exaggerated Bass this might be a good headset for you, but I would not recommend it to anyone who wants good clarity in calls or a flat balanced sound in music.
