Maxell MMEB-R M&M'S Earbud, Red

I bought these to replace the aging earbuds that came with my iPod almost two years ago. At $10, I thought "why not at least give them a try?" about these, and at first I thought I'd made a mistake. When I opened the package, I noticed that they were packaged in a way that you would expect to see something on a shelf in a children's section of a toy store, and when I removed them, they felt slightly plasticky.

I just purchased this item a few days ago based on the positive review here. The product well exceded my expectations. The sound quality is among the best I've heard, and the cord seems strong and like it won't break apart, as happens with the less expensive Maxell earphones. It's also quite comfortable on my ears.

These earbuds are very nice. They block most of the ambient sound. They deliver crisp high and deep lows. They come with various size cushions for a custom fit. Would definitily buy more!!
