 A long review... November 24, 2008

Wow. I've tried many headphones, including iPod ones, and this was the BEST deal I have ever gotten. Have you ever tried using your iPod earbuds, and smash them up to your ears and the bass seems really good? Well this is what you get, but BETTER. And best of all, you don't have to smash them into your ear!
I've had these earphones for a day now, and there great. The bass is fantastic, and so is sound quality. Beats iPod earbuds. I got these for 6 dollars, just 6, and they say WAY better then the iPod standard ones. And they cost 30 dollars! I would HIGHLY recommend someone that has a budget on earbuds but wants a REALLY good deal, just get these. Just get them.
As far as sound isolation, I am not sure for buses, but just for your standard home, its great. I put these on, and when I was watching t.v. I had my iPod on, and I was listening to some quiet music and I could not focus on my t.v. It was even on volume 10, which is pretty loud, and I could still not focus on it. These strictly will make you focus on your music, or whatever your trying to listen to on your iPod.
Last thing, for the fit, I don't know about you guys, but it fit me fine. I firstly tried to stick it in straight into my ear though, but it didn't work. So what you have to do is turn it at an angle, put it in your ear, then make it straight. Not a lot of force into it, just give it a little push, and it's in! It stays in your ear, whether your running or walking, because I've tried. Also, the silicone tips look pretty durable, and they stay on well, so don't worry about them breaking anytime soon. Just make sure to avoid putting them in your pocket when you can, so they can last you a while.
Overall, I am VERY pleased with these, these are WAY better then the iPod ones, and I got them for 6 dollars, NEW! And last thing for fits, I tried them on, they were fine, I had my mom and dad try them, they were fine, AND I had my brother try them, and he's 8 years old, and they were great. These will pretty much fit into anyones ears. This is a really good deal, so get it ASAP!!!
This is my review, hope you enjoyed reading it.
Sincerely,
Kevin.

I've been using these almost daily for about 3 months now. 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. They still work great after using them frequently for jogging, walking, working in the yard, or cleaning up around the house. They stay in my ears quite comfortably and do what they're supposed to do. I'm sure there's better quality out there, but these are just fine for my purposes.
Great Earbuds for the Price November 19, 2008

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.
Comparision with the Apple white phones November 17, 2008

I have medium sized ears and these fit perfectly as do the white Apple headphones (which I also like). The Coby's are more comfortable than the Apple brand due to the soft ear cups. They truly do reduce background noise at restaurants, coffee shops, etc. due to the seal they form in the ear canal.
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. So for running I wear the Apple brand because those are quite durable. I like the cord on the Apple ones better, I think it's a perfect gauge which barely gets tangled. The Coby cord is slightly lighter gauge and does tend to tangle. I give the sound quality advantage to the Coby's.
I would recommend these phones to a friend due to their light weight, comfortable design, decent sound, and great price. 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 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.
