This review is from: Q:Electronics Noise-Isolating Ear Buds (Chrome) (Electronics) When I got a new MP3 player about a year ago, I started using the in-ear headphones that came with it. They were terribly uncomfortable and, after half an hour or so, my ears would start to ache. This is why I always thought I needed to big, wrap-around kind of headphone.
I bought the Q:Electronics ear buds and it is like night and day! They are very comfortable, and do an excellent job of noise isolation. I've seen similar ear buds for cheaper on deal-a-day sites and such, but all I can say is I don't regret my purchase from Amazon. A quick comment on the two other reviews available at this time: first, these do not CANCEL noise, they ISOLATE. What that means is they don't actively try to delete other sounds, like some higher-end headphones do. What noise isolation headphones do is sort of seal off your ear (the suction that the second reviewer mentioned) - this muffles out any other sound you would hear, so it isolates the sound coming from the headphones...Read more 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Q:Electronics Noise-Isolating Ear Buds (Chrome) (Electronics) I tend to buy cheap buds since I listen to mp3's when I'm working(construction, yardwork, cleaning),so I have low expectations and am looking for something that will last for a few months of constant use. I used to buy more expensive buds to have them damaged and that really made no sense.
These chrome buds have a nice look and feel. They are comfortable and are fairly small and comfy -- Sometime's I'll fall asleep listening to mp3's but you cannot lie you head on a pillow and not feel these... they are small but still bigger than the lowest profile buds. They come with the normal range of silicone inserts and noice isolation is only based on sealing the ear canal passively, not active reduction technology Audio quality is acceptable with a decent midrange. There's nothing stellar about the highs or the lows -- but you get what you pay for. Listening to talk radio, audiobooks, etc - these are perfect value and sound. You wouldn't be able to run in these...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Q:Electronics Noise-Isolating Ear Buds (Chrome) (Electronics) Product works great, big clear sound, dampens background noise. Big difference compared to my old ear buds. Not an audiophile so my standards aren't sophisticated but would recommend for average listener at least. Only problem is size of buds--too large. But I always have that problem, my ears must be small. |
