iFrogz epd33-pinkblack EarPollution Plugz Earbud Headphones (Pink/Black)

Comment: I really loved these headphones at first. They were very comfortable, but within a few weeks they broke. The earpiece broke apart from the cord. I was very disappointed because they sounded good and were so comfortable.

Comment: I bought a pair of these around 6 months ago or so, and just yesterday they broke. The wiring @ the plug has frayed from being in my pocket, and now the sound cuts in and out.

Unfortunately, this is an extremely common problem with straight plugs and I knew that when I bought these. Still, it sucks :( I wish companies would offer their products with a choice of either the straight plug or the angled plug. Or reinforce the wire connection @ the plug.

At any rate, these were a good pair of earbuds - they were super comfy, they did not fall out of my ears (although they did slip a bit when I ran, because of sweating), and the sound was about average for earbuds in this price range - better than the Apple earbuds, but still a bit shrill at the highs. I just wish they had lasted a bit longer.

If I had not just purchased a pair of SkullCandy earbuds, I probably would have bought these again, though. Recommended for $10.

Comment: I have to rate these among the best of those I have tried, and i have tried maybe 20 or so different kinds. my criteria: 1. sealed back so no wind noise while hiking or biking on windy days, 1.1 good bass and treble and clarity, no buzzing at volume, 2. cable is flexible and hangs 'loose' not springy (these are loose but they could be a bit more flexible and smoother instead of using a rubber coating which drags on clothing), 3. cable is not too long and doesnt have a mute or volume dongle, (dongles break and get in the way), 4. buds are easy to grasp while fitting in ear (these have a nice 'handle'), 5. buds are not too big and are NOT Ipod-white in color or flashy/sparkly. 5. price/value, very reasonable.

i bought a bunch of these just in case they get discontinued.

Comment: I have very small ears and find it difficult to use earbuds usually. I have tried many, many types of earbuds and usually they just hurt my ears and fall out every time I move my head. After stumbling upon the ifrogs, I'm happy to say that I am in love! I've had my current pair for almost a year now and use them every day. I actually cut one side off and have the left one in for 7 hours a day at work with no discomfort. How many products can you say that about?! The little things are finally dying so I have to get a new pair but I'm not even looking for another brand!

Comment: So far, these earphones are working great for me (and I bought them used, even). They're really really comfortable to wear, and I really like them. I especially, like the plug, it doesn't "bend" back. You know what I mean? It's one straight line, all the way to the MP3 player. The material is really rubbery, and to me, that is a flaw, especially because it makes it more difficult to adjust the length of the earbuds.The material bugs me just a bit, as I am used to the apple earphones. However, this is just my personal preference.

Regarding the sound: the sound is very nice--I like it a lot. These earbuds are NOISE-ISOLATING! So it is difficult to listen to friends speak, while listening to your music. However, they are very GOOD noise-isolators, so if you are interested in noise-isolating earbuds, these may be the ones for you. I would really suggest buying these earbuds; they are rather inexpensive, and rather good. Trust me, it is SO much more worth it to buy one pair of these, instead of 15 $1 ones.
