They still work great after using them frequently for jogging, walking, working in the yard, or cleaning up around the house. I've been using these almost daily for about 3 months now. I'm sure there's better quality out there, but these are just fine for my purposes. They stay in my ears quite comfortably and do what they're supposed to do. I wanted to wait a while before writing a review to make sure they would last more than a few weeks. I'm no audiophile, and these work just fine for me.
I got a pair of these with my pepsi points, and turned around and ordered a pair for my husband and daughter, they were so comfortable.
I would recommend these phones to a friend due to their light weight, comfortable design, decent sound, and great price. due to the seal they form in the ear canal. The Coby cord is slightly lighter gauge and does tend to tangle. So for running I wear the Apple brand because those are quite durable.
I have medium sized ears and these fit perfectly as do the white Apple headphones (which I also like). You just might want to pick up two in case one breaks down the road (every headphone is susceptible to breakage in one way or another). I give the sound quality advantage to the Coby's. The Coby's are more comfortable than the Apple brand due to the soft ear cups.
I like the cord on the Apple ones better, I think it's a perfect gauge which barely gets tangled. I keep my pair of Coby's in my laptop bag to listen to tunes off my computer and keep my Apple headphones on my iPod Shuffle for exercise and walking around town. They truly do reduce background noise at restaurants, coffee shops, etc. I can not speak about how long they will last since I've only had mine for several weeks, but it seems like the soft ear cups might tear after a while.
I probably would not have gotten them if I'd known that. I always feel them slipping out if I smile or turn my head and it drives me CRAZY. Unfortunately, I really DO NOT like the way they fit in my ear.
The first negative I noticed was that there is no little thing on the wire to protect against tangling. Indeed, they sound very nice. Well, upon first appearance they look okay.
Not life-changing, but certainly improved from the standard iPod headphones, and the isolation-style earbuds don't necessarily block everything out, but they do help get the sound directly into your ear. Of course, there aren't many alternatives.So overall, the sound is certainly better, but the comfort is a pretty big sacrifice for better sound. They do tangle.
The sound was atrocious when I first started using them, but apparently there is an "breaking-in" period because they got much better later.
These are super cheap headphones (
