Coby Noise Cancellation Digital Stereo Earphonewith In-Line Volume Control CVE195 (Black)

This set of earphones is worst than the original set that came with my MP3 player. The music is flat, there is absolutely no dynamic to what you hear. The noise canceling is a joke. When you turn it on, you actually hear a low level hum! I will not recommend it, you are better off spending a little extra money to get a better set of earphones.

I do not recommend this product. It does not do a good job of canceling noise. The only noise-canceling comes from the ear buds themselves and you have to re-adjust them every so often because they have a habit of sliding out (whether you're sweating or not.)

I just bought this - not through Amazon.
Boy are they junk! All other 1 stars are correct.
Now days you can often get a cheep something that works - these are an exception!

The remote is huge and made from creepy cheep plastic.
The cord is thick, junkie, and too short.
The noise cancelling is imperceptible. It seems to just make the sound louder. However there is a microphone built in.
The sound is truly terrible.
Beyond that the airplane adaptor seems nice.
I was fortunate in that one side had almost no sound output.
This way, I can take them back!
