3.5 mm White Earbud Headphones for Amazon Kindle 2 E-Book Reader

I bought these to replace my Ipod earphones that broke. These were at least as good as those, and much cheaper than buying replacements from apple. My only quibble is that the L and R on the earphones fades off quickly - you can tell by feel though which ones go in which ear.

These earbuds are horrific. I bought them as replacements for my various iPods (Shuffle and Classic).

The Good:
- NOTHING

The Bad:
- The jack is too small to make a proper connection with the iPod. The music comes out with tons of static, if at all.

- They are cheap and extremely uncomfortable.

- The sound quality (when they work) is tinny and horrific. I've had better sound come out of free airplane headphones or even the crazy headphones that you used to be able to get for gameboys.

Bottom-line:

Please, please, please spend $5 more and get the JVC Gummy Headphones. The Gummys are pretty good whereas these headphones are a flagrant disgrace to engineering, consumers, and humanity generally.

I felt like such a dolt when these came in the mail as they were advertised on the site as "$.01" and I thought they would just be lumped in with the Kindle itself as they were ordered at the same transaction. But then when I got them delivered they did only cost "$.01" but there was an additional $12.98 added on for "Shipping and Handling". Boy did I feel like a sucker!!! These little Earbuds are no different from the ones that you can pick up at the Dollar Store. So do yourself a favour and use the money you would have wasted on these to buy a book on your Kindle.....I wish I would have!
