Like many of the previous 39 reviewers of this product, I had it for a little over a month before the left earbud died when the internal wiring broke near the headphone plug. This appears to be a common problem with these earphones. They have a nice nylon casing that makes for easy wrapping and transport, but does not adequately protect the wiring.

As for sound, I found them to be tinny, but I was able to mitigate that by using foam earbud covers from my last set of buds and setting the iPod EQ to "bass booster."

If the wiring could be adequately protected, these would be nice earbuds. Since they commonly don't last more than a month or so, I can't recommend them.

When I first got these headphones the sound quality was amazing. I'm used to using cheap ear buds for music listening. About a month later the left headphone lost audio. I just went on there web site and submitted a claim and ten sent me a new pair FREE. If your looking for a better earbud than the apple pack-in or similar, pay the extra money for the J5s. They're worth it

One and a half months after receiving these buds, the side with the in-line volume control completely died.

They provided average sound quality while they lasted (7/10...and I LOVE BASS...these didn't quite deliver, but I couldn't complain). I will admit that It was my fault that they died, but It wasn't an issue of abuse. I can get rough with earphones but I babied these for the first month and a half I had these. The reason it died was because I happened to snag the cord on my leg while picking up stuff from the ground. The buds fell out of my ears and hit the floor. Oops. But, upon fitting them back into my ears, I could only hear disappointment. The ?Metal housing? is completely useless. In fact it might have been more durable to make it out of plastic... Who doesn't snag their buds a couple of times? Because they died on the first snag, I would have to say that these win the award for Most Fragile Pair of Earbuds I've EVER Used.

My favorite feature was the volume control but even that had some issues before everything broke. The range of volume control only consisted of %100 to %40 at volume levels of %40 and below, all noise would just be cut off completely.

Doesn't tangle.

I doubt I will buy another pair of metal earphones again. I'm sticking with the good ole plastic.

I recently bought these and some Jbuds J2's, and I would have to say that these have better bass than the J2's (the bass is what sets these apart from the J2's the most). The highs are also a more clear, yet it seems like the vocals are a little less clear, or maybe drowned out by the bass. Definitely comfortable, but the J2's are more comfortable. Overall, good bass,sound,confortability, and low's and ok highs.

These things worked well for the time I had them, and generally I like Skullcandy products. I'm a big fan of earbud headphones, as I think over-the-ear headphones are uncomfortable with glasses, usually. I always find earbud headphones to be highly unreliable with little exception, however, and these headphones have unfortunately not proven to be the exception to the rule, as they broke today about three months after I got them. The left earbud goes in and out, seems to be a problem with the wiring.

I wouldn't really recommend these for the price because of that. $20 for headphones that break after 3 months is way too much. I take good care of my possessions, and these headphones were not abused in any way.

They sound awesome, that is it. The headphones will last about a month with medium use, even if you take great care of them.  The connection will sometimes cut out when the device is just a foot away. The flat cord looks nice, but a round braided cord would be a better option. Returned for a refund. I wished they lasted longer.

"These are a great pair of earbuds and if you like to accentuate the highs in music then these are the buds for you. For my taste I would have more bass but that is just a matter of taste. Quality pair of earbuds."

I like to use in-ear headphones for multiple consecutive hours, and unfortunately these are designed to be wide and short, so if you insert them into your ear canal to get a proper fit, the edge of the metal digs into the outside of your ear canal. The only way I've been able to wear them without this happening has been to use a pair of Skullcandy large tips since the Skullcandy tips extend further from the metal edge and allow me to insert them far enough without the metal having to go partway in. However, the large tips do not really fit, so I've had to sacrifice sound quality for comfort.

I would also like to note that, for the lay listener (like myself), the bass on these is not that strong. Audiophile forums say the bass is "heavy" or "punchy" but in reality, they are about 75% as intense as the Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds I'd hoped these could replace (after I lost them). I would recommend Skullcandy Ink'd over these; half the price at non-online stores, and the earbud curves in at the end so there's never a sharp edge digging into your skin.

Had them for about a year.  I was fairly pleased with the sound.  People have called it rich, I say the balance is tipped a little on the bass end and the sound is slightly muddy, but only to a particularly critical ear.  I like them a lot in the sound category, I hated the wire.  The wire is made of what must be the same rubber as race track tires because it sticks to EVERYTHING and it's a serious annoyance.  The ear buds we constantly yanking at or out of my ears every time the wire rubbed anything (skin, clothes, bag, pocket, damn near the air).  Yes, they provide you with a shirt clip, but this sort of thing is neither convenient nor fashionable.  Additionally, it developed a bad connection in the wire, likely somewhere around the jack, and quit working one day.  I got a little upset because I paid $100 for them and threw them away.  After looking at several other more highly priced earbuds, it sounds like several others have the same problem for nearly every one I've looked it, but it seems to be the minority of purchases for any particular brand.  Thus, wires going bad after 4 months to a year and half seems expectable.

The buds sit comfortably "in" the ear and I haven't been able to find another decent earbud that doesn't create an air seal in the ear which also has a decent sound quality.  I will probably purchase another set, despite its shortcomings, but my satisfaction is lacking due more to craftsmanship and less to their intended design function.

I bought these headphones about 8 months ago. Like many others, what sold me was the idea that I was getting an amazing deal by paying 1/4th the price for pink headphones compared to the other colors. However, I feel the $10 I paid for them is completely worth what they are, but would never pay the full $40 price for them.

I often buy earbuds/headpgones in the ~$20 budget range, and these have probably been my least favorite out of various Sonys, JVCs, Skullcandys, ect. Sound-wise, if you like listening to music with instruments, these probably aren't for you as the sound is mostly dominated by low-mids, bass, and even strong sub-bass frequencies. This is a plus for rap, hip-hop, or even rhythm-heavy rock/metal, as these headphones really brought out an amazing "thump" in a bass drum. However, everything else (vocals, solos, keys, horns) suffered from lack of definition and clarity with the high-end. They sounded a bit better as they broke in over time, but the exaggerated bass still bothered me in MOST musical situations.

What bothered me the most, however, was how uncomfortable these earbuds were. Despite trying all 3 sizes, they never quite fit in my ears right without constant adjustment. This was huge for me, as I like to play drums along with an mp3 player without damaging my ears, and without that solid sound-isolating seal of most earbuds it was rare when I could actually play without having to stop and readjust. I feel that this may be partly due to the rubber used in the ear pieces, as they seemed to be more slick and oily that other earbuds. Or maybe that the rubber would actually fold over the small earbuds themselves and get stuck when trying to insert them. Then I would have to take them out, pull the piece back, and try again.

These headphones recently stopped working, though this was to be expected eventually (as with all earbuds), and did not affect my opinion of them as they lasted an okay amount of time. If I had paid $40 for the black version, I may have flipped some tables.

Overall, these headphones are kind of strange in a few ways, and the fact that they just didn't work out for me may be a matter of personal taste. If you like a lot of bass, have super clean ears, and don't mind the color pink, these earbuds may be great for you. These are $40 headphones that cost $8 and are worth $15.

I like these earbuds, specially the fact that I can control the volume of my android device (htc one m9) from the in-line controls and you get a lot for the money (case, foam and rubber eartips, clip, strap). I don't not consider myself a very discerning audiophile, that said the audio quality seem good to me. The only thing that I would change is the cable, a flat, tangle-free cable would make these earbuds awesome.

Update: Like other reviews have said, the drivers of one of the earbud came apart from the housing.

I don't know maybe I'm just old but wires on all earbuds are real flimsy these days. Excluding the construction quality the other aspects of these earbuds are top notch. The bass is good when I play something with high beats I can hear and feel the vibrations.

If you care about blocking out all noise buying the sennheiser buds would be sufficient for that otherwise stick with these since they are nice, reliable, and cheap.

I owe these, but 130 for headphones that use to cost 60-70 is straight crazy.  So what if they are discontinued!  They are good for casual listening but not for djing, the magnets do not produce strong enough bass for matching beats.  I do like them but would never pay that jacked up cost.  Go get your self a pair of audio technica's ath m50x that will blow these out of the park.

For me they are just ok.  I was looking for something with some ear support that had decent sound.  The sounds is below average compared to the average earbuds and they do not fit properly.  I still give 3 stars because I will use on occasion but my over the ear (not beats or anything.  The smaller 25$ ones with ear support) bluetooth sound much better and are more comfortable.

The build quality on these is decent. The earbuds seem to be  made of some cheap industrial plastic and feel very light in your hand. It has a L-shape jack which is great but the jack itself is really short.
The sound quality is a step up from standard apple earphones but that may just be because of the in ear design. There is a faint white noise when there is no music playing, and it can be heard sometimes when music is playing. The bass on these headphones great, it has the thump that you want in bass songs, but mids and highs suffer just a little bit because of this.

If you are looking for cheap replacement earbuds than these are just that.

I highly recommend A4TECH SecureFit Metallic Super Bass Earphone MK-650 For iPod (Black)
they are cheaper than these and are far superior in every aspect to these brainwavs.

What I liked best about them was that I could hear my material AND hear what was going on around me.  They do not provide the privacy and non-disturbance of others that traditional earbuds do.  Mine finally broke and I replaced them with Panasonic Isolating earbuds&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Panasonic-ErgoFit-Best-in-Class-In-Ear-Earbud-Headphones-RP-HJE120-K-Dynamic-Crystal-Clear-Sound-Ergonomic-Comfort-Fit-iPhone-Android-Compatible-Noise-Isolating-Headphones-Black/dp/B003EM8008/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Panasonic ErgoFit Best in Class In-Ear Earbud Headphones RP-HJE120-K Dynamic Crystal Clear Sound, Ergonomic Comfort-Fit, iPhone, Android Compatible, Noise Isolating Headphones -  Black</a>.
