A good buy for a cheap ear-phone,

I bought a pair of these for $5 at a BigLots, because my other two sets of earbuds were both working out of only one side. I don't feel like spending an exorbitant amount of money on a set either, so I was willing to gamble on the $5 pair being serviceable. I'd gotten a few others that had horribly tinny sound, and these had a surprisingly deep amount of sound. Moreover, they dampen external sound incredibly for such a cheap set, better than any pair I've ever used! (Maybe Bose has them beat, but for a fraction of the cost, these are great). In fact, if I had to complain, it's that they block sound perhaps too well (I like to have some sense of my surroundings while listening (usually to audio-books). They definitely make you feel removed from society.
If these last relatively well, I'll definitely consider buying another pair!

Review on Sentry HO481 Metalix Silicon Ear Buds (Black),
November 2, 2011 JosiahR. - See all my reviews

Pros: It came with a little, I mean *little*, bag for travel. The ear buds themselves are metal. It came with extra cushions.
Cons: The cushions came of when I took the ear buds out. It's a pain to put the cushions back on. The cord is kind of short. There isn't that much bass. I accidentally ordered another pair, and there was too much bass. Same issue with the cushions. The *little* travel case that came with it ripped when I tried to put the ear buds inside. There is more cordage and ear bud than there is room in the case.
Other thoughts: Don't buy these. One of the ear buds died about 3 weeks after I got them. I bought a pair of Razer Morays. SO much better. Those came with a case that can actually hold the ear buds. It has a zipper, not a little plastic button. Hope this review helps you in your quest to find ear buds. Happy shopping!

It's what you want,

These ear buds fit my ears snuggly, and just in case have another set of smaller buds if needed. These things have QUALITY stereo sound. It's amazing for $5 at Big Lots! The best thing since sliced bread honestly. I've had two pairs already. I snapped the bud off one of my pairs, and went and got another set immediately for $5! They handle bass so well, you can feel the weight in the bud itself. Great product, and recommended for sure.
