 Review of the Supplier January 6, 2009
William Fox (Santa Barbara, CA USA)
The headphones are great. My review deals with the supplier who shipped only one headphone when I ordered six. Upon bringing this to their attention, they promptly shipped the other five. Very good response.
Pleased ! January 6, 2009

I love theses headphones. I feel they are better than the headphones that come with a mp3 or c/d player. Theses headphones fit in the ear comfortably. Im very pleased!
Thank You
 Left earpiece went dead within 2 months January 5, 2009

The left earpiece bit the dust, after light and gentle use for 2 months. Not $$ enough to be worth a return. Save yourself the trouble and don't get these. The sound wasn't half as good as the Sony's I ordered for only $6 more.
 Noise reducing, but that's about it... January 4, 2009
Gregory Zak (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
Well, the 4/5 stars here prompted me to try these out, so I bought them using my Pepsi points. Let me tell you, I'd be pretty sore about it if I had to pay for them myself. I'll start with the good, just to be somewhat fair:
The good
-Lightweight
-They are indeed pretty good at noise reduction
-They have some bass, at least a bit more than the standard Zune earbuds I have
The bad
-One size fits all. If your ear is the wrong size, tough. My right ear happens to be just a bit too small, so they're really hard to get into my right ear, and when I do it gets uncomfortable pretty fast.
-No treble whatsoever. This point really bothers me. If you have any kind of audio system (iPod, car audio, home theater, etc.), try turning the treble all the way down and the bass up a few notches (after all, they have a bit more bass than normal). You hear that? It sounds pretty bad... That's what these sound like. While I do like a bit more bass, I wouldn't give up all the treble for it, everything just sounds muffled that way.
-I haven't tested this, but I bet they're really really fragile and easy to snap. The plastic they're made of seems really cheap.
Overall, if you're considering these as an upgrade to the standard Zune/iPod earphones, don't bother. The Coby's are noise reducing, sure, but they may not fit you very well and they sound really muffled.
Note: none of my sound devices have an equalizer, perhaps someone can try turning up the treble all the way and testing them then. I know iPods have an equalizer, so try it for yourself and see if it helps. It would pretty much be the only way to get acceptable sound quality out of these, and if that works, great, these are really cheap earbuds
