Very comfortable, good sound...BUT....

These were very comfortable and good sound, but after 3 uses I cannot use them anymore due to the fact that,unless I hold them at a certain position...they are useless!

Bose won't let me post my review because of profanity...but I didn't use any...? I'm confused...here's my review.
I own the over ear set (QC25) too but, as great as they sound, they aren't comfortable for sleeping - I can't lean against them in an airline seat.

I love how small and comfortable (once I got the right size ear tips) these are. I just got off a long haul flight that I slept on my side during. I could sleep with these in, and they were amazing. I give them a 4 star rating for comfort.

Compared to the QC25, that has a removable cord, these ear buds can be a bit unwieldy when having to untangle to pee on an airplane and not dangle the cord into the toilet. I wind up the cord as best I can and shove it into my bra strap. With the battery pack it's trickier to do, but still doable. I give a four star rating for this part of the convenience factor.

My biggest gripe might be related to the negative reviews about the integrity of the wire. These come with a cute little case to pack them in. Yay, convenient and much much better portability than my big set....whoops, except that the case is slightly too short! This means that the wires coming out of the ends of the battery pack have to be bent in order to zip the case closed. Wires are delicate things, and bending them is a sure way to stretch and break them. For $300 (which I only justified spending because I had a Best Buy coupon) I want the only limiting factor to be the one that the manufacturer warned me about - the battery life - not shoddy construction! So, I'm going to buy a larger case for them and hope that I avoid the problems with wires that others have experienced. Overall, if this is the wires problem source, it's something that product designers should know about. A 20 case problem might be the source of this two star rating.

So, overall, 3.5 stars!

This is my favorite among others, like those in-ear buds whose bass output is superb, but...I said but due to the tendencies to hurt your ear canal after a while.  Most of my older headphones are made by Sony and Sennheiser.  This Sony MDR-G45LP is light and comfortable to my ears and ear cannals, but Sony has something to do about it because the slit below that part of the plastic headband which hold the tiny electrical cord to the other speaker is "biting" the top skin of my ears due to its weight after long hours of wearing it.  If you're planning to buy this style of headphones, and you use this for exercising or jogging/running, you are better off to buy that other style that has the slit positioned at the side (not at the bottom) of the head-band.  I don't want to return my headphones to Amazon that's why I wrap that portion of headband with soft fabric, and planned to replace it with a short transparent plastic tubing later.  You cannot buy a pre-split tubing, therefore a sharp kitchen knife or an Exacto-knife will be handy for this; just watch out, and avoid slitting your fingers ;-)

Really good sound stage and quality of sound.. also very comfortable. My only problem which is a major setback is they don't stay on my ears.

The around the ear plastic mold they provide just fall off over and over I have to constantly fiddle with the earphone while wearing them. If you are sitting absoulutley still there great but move around at all and that come off from around my ear. Quite frustrating...but they do sound the best out of and headphones I have owned. I've had them for about two months now.

Comfortable, good sound, but there is an annoying rattle on the side with the buttons (I think it is the hard plastic buttons rattling) even the slightest movement causes a loud rattle. I returned the headphones.

So let me begin by saying I dislike giving poor ratings but when I believe this will help others I will do so. In this case, I want to first give the positives.  1. It was very comfortable.  2. The sound quality was good. 3. The connectivity to my phone was very good.  I would really like to have kept them but the negative was too bad and I returned both my pair and my wife's pair. The reason I returned them was because they pick up so much background noise that both my son and my wife had trouble understanding me even with quiet conversations going on. I have had several hands free headphones but have never had one this bad.

Very comfortable and sound great.  Also does well to block ambient noise... So much so that I DO NOT recommend them for outdoors activities in the vicinity of traffic, it does block out almost all traffic noises.  Be careful.

these were very comfortable, sounds good...price is nice < $15...only complaint, i like to run with my headphones...sometimes these come loose and have to be pushed back into ear. the best use for these headphones maybe sitting still and not jogging with them.

Great sound and very comfortable, but... Still had issues cutting out if in my pocket when I cut the grass and something got between it and the phone it was connected to. Luckily it came with an arm band that wasn't even advertised, which when used does eliminate the issue. I would recommend it with the arm band.

Really like the bass out of these headphones. They are also great for eliminating background noise - even though that is not what they're designed to do. Very comfortable. Syncing up was easy to multiple devices. The simulated chrome/metal fittings are a bit clunky and clang around a bit too much for my liking. Something I'm willing to overlook. Good luck trying to register your product on the manufacturers website. Even support is nonexistent as there customer service email link has bounced back for me.

I bought these headphones to use at my desk while I'm at work (Software Engineer). They are very comfortable and they sound great. Good mids and good bass without being overbearing. Skullcandy has always had really great headphones relative to their price. My favorite feature is that we the battery dies (or your music device doesn't support bluetooth) you can always connect them via headphone jack. My one issue with this product is that there is some serious noise leakage. I advise being alone, or not playing these too loudly.

I love these earphones, and they do exactly what they say they do: great sound, but they still allow you to hear external noise. Super comfortable--maybe the most comfortable headset I've ever owned.

However, I have had one problem with them...  when I'm using them on a call, the people I'm talking to often tell me there's an echo (they can hear their own voice). Taking out the headset fixes this, so it must be what's causing the problem.

It seems to improve if I turn the volume down, so for now I'm trying to see if I can make them work, because other than that, they're great.

While I am quite happy with my purchase, my experience has been a bit different from others' reviews:

Build and Comfort:  Both are great.  I love the detachable cables (except as noted below), and the fit is great as-is, out of the box.  Comfort is great, and the way that these sit in my ears ... it's hard to describe - you don't have to shove them deep down into your ear canals, they kind of ... seal and float.  I could wear them all day.

Noise Isolation/Cable Noise:  The isolation from external noise seems great to me: I completely failed to hear my wife yelling at me yesterday ... not actually a good thing, perhaps.  But as reported by others there is a fair amount of cable-originated noise due to friction caused by movements (microphonics).  I think this point just goes to how you plan to use these headphones.

Sound:  I burned these in for a couple of hours, but still, just plugging them in to any of my sources (Macbook Pro, Ipod, high-end Android phone), I originally found the sound to be slightly muddy.  Great bass response, but slightly muddy mids, vague highs.  The overall sound texture was just not there - and that's not the experience I have had with other IEM's.

However, after playing with the equalizer settings, I am glad to report that the sound from the headphones CAN BE simply amazing.  While I hate having to fiddle with things unnecessarily ... in this case, I have concluded that it's worth it.  (I suspect the need for the equalizer has to do with the size of the drivers, and that sound cards need help providing the signals necessary to make the good things happen ....).  The overall sound I would describe as a fun, clear richness - not the boomy and headache-inducing sound you can find all over the place (I won't name offenders here).

Overall, if you are planning to sit still, and you don't mind building an equalized pre-set or two, then these are absolutely (really) worth buying.  I'm listening now, rediscovering my music.

Final note:  I think Onkyo has an App out there somewhere, for high-resolution sound.  I can imagine that that would be a great match for these headphones, but I have not looked it up yet - so, no comment, but high hopes.

I received these headphones as a gift about 6 months ago.  I use them nearly every day and am very satisfied with the sound quality, but disappointed with their ability to stand up to moderate use.

PROS:  The box contains 1)the headphones with 3-button control, 2)four sets of the white rubber tips in a range of sizes, and 3)a small pouch for storage.  There are no unnecessary parts and nothing critical is left out.

Even with no music playing, these make decent earplugs.  I used them while reading and studying to reduce distraction.  When you have music playing, it blocks out exterior noise wonderfully so that you can listen to your music at a much lower volume while enjoying a higher quality of sound.

The apple control is, as any iProduct user knows, a nice feature that allows easy play, pause, skip forward/back, and volume control.  I have never used the microphone.

CONS:  After using these headphones with an iPod and a laptop for just three months, the cord started to come apart, baring the wires at the adapter end.  A few weeks later, the same thing happened by the earbuds.  I have band-aided the problem with a bit of waterproof medical tape, but this really shouldn't be happening with a set of hundred-dollar headphones.

Also, the cord distance from the earbuds to the control is rather long.  When I put the cord under my shirt, the control sits in my lower chest, which (I assume) makes me look quite strange when I am changing the volume.  Also, though I have never used the mic, I don't see how anyone comfortably could as it is so low.

Finally, the plastic end of the earbuds sticks out of the ear a good half inch, which means that if you want to use these headphones while lying down, wearing a hat that covers your ears, etc, then these might be uncomfortable or easily knocked out.

In conclusion, while these headphones have decent sound quality, their construction is not conducive to everyday or exercise use.

Very nice sounding and very comfortable, I forget I'm wearing headphones most of the time. They don't block out hardly any sound but thats to be expected. I did end up buying third-party vinyl pads for the phones, as the ones it came with were poor quality. After about 4 months of use the cord is starting to get rigid, to the point where it might crack. Also where the cord joins the earphone it goes through a little plastic window, and sometimes i find i can hear it squeak as i walk rubbing against the plastic. Good headphones for biking or walking in, also very good for use at computer. Very compact, so points for that.

I have had these headphones for over a year. The good,the sound quality is excellent as so many reviews have mentioned. My concern is comfort. I am 6'3". Have a large head,73/4-8, these head phones are noticeably Heavy , and uncomfortable, let me tell you why, we all have different head shapes and sizes, as a larger size person to put these on, the head phone are positioned over my ears, with them in place, the band With cushion comes in contact with the center part of my head, becoming quite painful. So I decided to modify them, not wanting to give them up, I took away the padding and wrapped the band with duct tape, there by increasing the available space for my head,this was an improvement, however the headphone still become painfully uncomfortable. I have tried to manipulate them so the band does not come in contact with the head,I have been unsuccessful.
  The very best thing about Amazon is these reviews, I am almost always reading them before making my purchase.  I Have found that a concern may be limited to a single individual, it affords us an opportunity to buy products with our eyes wide open which is a good thing
