Woodees IESW100B Inner-ear Stereo Earphone with Microphone

I own a number of higher end IEs and cans and have to admit this product (so far) is something I would consider a good value. I bought these because I was looking for a decent sound from an IE with a mic that I could keep in the car and use with my BB while running afternoon errands and such. Believe it or not, that was not an easy task. Most of your higher-end or even audiophile grade IEs do not have a mic. I happen to own both the UE Superfi.5 Pro and the Triplefi.10, but I will not compare these to those as they so cost considerably more and such a comparison will not be fair. The Triple.10 does have a version with a mic, but I was not willing to spend that kind cash on a second pair just for the mic and I would not want to keep such a high-end product in the car. I will keep this review limited to this product. Note: Although this product has four sizes of ear cushions in which to choose, I always use the Comply cushions with my IE because of their comfort and seal...Read more

First off let me say that I bought these headphones even though the previous reviews seemed a little too overwhelmingly positive-- almost infommercially so, in fact.

After a few hours of listening to them, they continue to improve over when I first removed them from the box-- call it "break-in" or whatever. How's the sound? Well, the highs are crisp, the mid's are solid, but I haven't found the bass response to be earth-shatteringly good. Ironic since the top tab of the product box proclaims in bold letters, "Deep Rich Bass". Perhaps my expectation for the bass-response was set a little high, but if you claim Deep Rich Bass, I'd think that it would be something that you deliver on.

I did try all of the included silicone buds to make sure that I had the right size. I landed on back on the medium's, after trying them all.

Summary: For $69.99, they're a decent value. The sound quality is unquestionably better than the standard Apple earbuds, and the...Read more

These ear phones sound very nice and are very comfortable. However, I could tell from the start that they weren't going to last. The rubber that connects the cable to the earphone jack is not very sturdy. It looked like the rubber was going to snap if you bent the cord one way of the other. As time went by, it was getting weaker and weaker. In just two months of what I would consider not heavy use (i.e., once or twice weekly), the left headphone stopped working. Another thing about them is the button on the in-line mic felt weak. If the earphone didn't break, or the cable, I would put my money that this would be the next thing to break.

They sound good otherwise. I'm not an audiophile but I don't like tinny sounding earphones. These sounded full.

I wouldn't waste my money though, get some earphones that will last longer then 2 months.

I got these earphones in June-2010 and as explained above, needed to be...Read more
