I bought these in May this year and had them for a total of 3 months before I lost the sound in one earbud. The sound is good but they are essentially only effective for as long as they last, which isn't long unfortunately. My advice would be spend an extra few 's and get a decent pair.

Greetings everyone.
It's been about 4 months since I bought this earphone, and I'd say it's fantastic.
The sound quality is very good, the ear buds are very comfy and hold the earphone tightly in place without annoying you, which is a serious problem for people like me because of the shape of my ears' ducts (I've tried other brand-name-types and faced a lot of troubles trying to make them fit and hold position in my ears). Also the buds provide good noise isolation.
It was my friend who recommended them for me, and I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for comfortable, high quality yet low priced earphones.
 Very good value October 2, 2008

the 3 sizes of buds really means it cannot not fit in your ears. it might feel bit weird to begin with, but then you get used to them quick and if you push them in right, you can actually get some pretty good bass response out of them - they are even good for electro!
So yeah, if you want some noise canceling headphones, buy these!

I agree with all the comments here that at the price they are a bargain, and they very effectively isolate only the music you're listening too, but I've had mine only a couple of months and now have to look for a new pair.
Firstly, the rubber ear buds come off quite easily, so on a few occasions they've got lodged in my ear, but more annoyingly I've since lost one on a plane as it sprung from my ear never to be seen again.
The main reason I have to go shopping again though is that the sound form the right ear is becoming intermitent, and the plug into the socket needs to be twiddled to get the sound back.
Even for eight quid I would not have expected a technical fault like this after only two months, so I feel when it comes to these sorts of headphones you do really get what you pay for.
Not bad but also not Good! June 4, 2008

I have to say to be honest, that even after reading our impressive reviews, I have to say that the earphones are not as good as I think it would be.
But first, lets talk about the good points:
- Arrived a day before stated delivery estimate
- FREE DELIVERY!
- Pretty cheap for some decent noise ISOLATING earphone
- Gold plated jack (if it really matters?)
Now the bad points:
- Not Hi-Fi quality (not completely proper high-fidality like my brother's awesome sound system)
- No good ear bud sizes for me, even the small, medium and large doesn't seem to suit me(so some people may not get good sound isolation and quality)
- Poor packaging (came with in a plastic cheap-po wallet, eco friendly?)
So basically, considering the above, it is still good for 8 and a little bit behind the Sennheiser CX300 (as tested independently by another expert) and the sound quality and isolation (as with any headphones) will improve slightly if you gently push the earphone toward your ears, if you don't mind walking around all day with your fingers in your ears.
But above all, I would recommend theses to people who want cheap but good enough noise isolating earphones for traveling but, it is not the best I would really say, not the best at all.
