I may have gotten a bad batch.  These were rather tinny sounding and didn't last long.  Price was good, but don't know if it's worth it.

Maybe I just got a bad batch. I tried two before return (return refund processing took about 2 months). Both cartridges had irregular streaking, horizontal lines, black was a faded appearing medium grey in tone. Probably OK for non-professional or school use to save cost of OE HP brand cartridges with none of these low quality problems.

Really tinny sound - did not like these at all - had to return for refund

were not as loud as I would have wanted them to be, but that very well could have been my amps problem!

The one I got must have been bad.  I've heard these sound good before, but this one couldn't handle high volumes

Bought these speakers to add audio to a surveillance camera I have outside, but alas these didn't work.  It's probably my set up, but I didn't get any sound at all, and even when I plugged them into my computer they struggled to equal the sound from my laptop's speakers. I knew going in that these were not powered and for the price wouldn't perform very well, but I guess I was expecting a little more from these speakers. Oh well I tried, so I am giving them to my nephew.

I ordered the 24" chimes and got the 7" chimes, so I sent it back. And it had a pitiful tinny sound. Accidents happen, no biggy.

Majority of the shells were cracked or broken off.  Could have been I just received a bad batch.

Just gave out on me after a few weeks decent earbuds but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say I just got a dud

I disregarded reviews thinking it wouldn't happen to me but sure enough I ordered these and there was no sound in the right speaker straight out of the box. Used them for a few minutes and started hearing a rattling noise in the left speaker. Disappointed.

I should have known based on the price.  They did not rest well over the ears and the sound was very "tinny."

The sound quality out of the box is really bad. It sounds somewhat tinny, but it does have good enough bass response such that it can be fixed with an equalizer or bass booster. But the main issue that still remains is that everything sounds kind of hollow, like maybe the polarity is reversed on one of the speakers, and that messes with the brain's perception of the sound (just speculating). I don't have enough expertise to know what to call this kind of sound or what's causing it, but I just know that it's wrong.

My last two sets of earbuds were from Sony and were of the same design (at least aesthetically) and they had absolutely excellent sound quality, so when I ordered these it was because I wanted to replace the old ones that I broke, and to have an inline microphone was a plus. A lot of the reviews mention that the speakers break after normal use, I haven't been using mine long enough for them to break, but I likely won't be using them for that long anyway.

It comes with a 90 day warranty, but for me, I don't think the effort to follow up on it is worth it. I'll just try to find something better.

I received these strings and put them aside since my strings on my guitar were still good. I put a set on the other day and they sounded extremely dead. I couldn't live with playing those, so I tried another pack, and they were almost just as dead. I just assumed it was just how they were gonna be (they are cheap after all), then I played these same model strings on my friends guitar, and they were right up there with Elixers. So I don't know if the they just sent me a defective batch or what, but 2 out of ten were duds. Can't speak for the other 8.

These are guitar strings, and yes they have a 'tinny' sound. As you break 'em in the sound changes.

Any guitar strings, whether they were subjected to repeated use, or collecting dust never to be played need to be changed often. That's my take - I prefer not to play "dead strings".

These are nice strings for the money, yet of course I would prefer not to have to pay for them  :D

These felt very cheap and the sound quality was low.  I returned them promptly.

Not as squeaky as other similar squirrels. I don't know if I just got a bad batch but the other ones I already have squeak more and my dog likes them better.

I think they sound a little muffled - tried all the settings but could not achieve the sound I was looking for.
