I have owned these for about 2 years and they have stood up to daily use. The sound quality is good enough for me, I'm not an audio engineer or anything that might make me a discerning observer, but the sound quality is some of the best I've had for head phones in this price range. The clear rubber ear "fittings" will come off the ear piece so be careful not to loose them.
What a great price. I normally spend 40-50 on Sony or even more on BOSE headphones and the surround sound idea seemed cool.
They seem, as other reviews said, very tough and well made.
Sadly, they sound like a surround system on HALL setting, like an echo is going on.
Perhaps this works for celine dion or orchestral works but for Bass and dance type sounds it is severely disappointing.
As someone already stated, they only stay in your ears for 2 seconds. I'm even using the tapered inserts. They have fairly nice sound from what I can tell, but they are painful and don't stay in my ears.
Good earphones but did the well paid engineers at phillips make them too big to many ears. I have to push them into my ear with pressure, not like other earbuds.
I bought this product, based on the impressive display and characteristics the container boasted. While the product does deliver great surround sound other impressive characteristics, this product's good characteristics are quickly outweighed by its one most problematic circumstance-They fall out very quickly usually 2-3 minutes after applying them. To ensure that the earbuds sustain themselves in your ear, you basically have to thrust them into your ear, an deep within them to the point it hurts at that. I would not recommend this product at all, not because its has horrible sound quality, but because its tendency to repeatedly fall from your ears disallows you to efficiently listen to and keep comfort with your music.
