Two failed on me. I'm very surprised.July 28, 2010 Nelson Wong I'm very surprised by the number of high ratings for this headphone. The whole reason why I bought these were due to the high ratings. Unfortunately, I went through two of these in less than 4 months. In both cases, one of the ear piece stops playing music. I returned on to amazon since it happened within a week of purchase. I would guess the failure occurs due to the way I store the headphones. I wrap it around my mp3 player. Not sure of any better way to keep your headphones from tangling, but I suppose this method places a lot of stress on the soldered connection.
My last complain is that these ear buds are not securely in my ear. They tend to slip off sometimes and I'd have to jam them in my ear to get them to stay decently well. It's quite annoying. I would avoid these pair of headphones and look else where. *Sigh* Another $15 dollars down the drain. I wonder if there are any headphone companies that have a 1 year + warranty.
Had High HopesJuly 28, 2010 Jason Gearlds I bought the J2 Earbuds to replace some Sony earbuds to use in conjuction with a Sansa Clip, primarily at the gym. I am an avid gym goer, in the ballpark of 4 to 5 times a week for the past several years. I mention this because the gym is the location of my primary use for headphones. That said, on with the review.
The Good:
- The headphones appear to be well constructed, perhaps even durable.
- The cord is about 3 ft., a perfect length if you are going to be twisting, turning, and generally move around a lot.
- Price.
The Bad:
- A side effect of the durable construction is that these headphones are heavy. If you move around a lot, especially in a gym or running environment, these will not stay in your ears.
- They are big, these are some of the largest earbuds I have seen, both in circumference and length. They stick a good distance out of your ear and are not comfortable in any way.
- Straight plug. I should have remembered this from reading reviews before I bought them but somehow glossed over it. An angled plug is a requirement for me. This is just a matter of preference. For me though its a deal breaker.
- Sound. I read many reviews about the sound quality and had hopes that these were going to have fantastic sound quality, especially when it came to bass. Maybe I set my hopes too high for a $15 pair of earbuds, but the sound was adequate but not stellar and in order to get the headphones to produce good bass I had to customize the equalizer settings in the Sansa Clip.
I really wanted to like these headphones and am surprised that they let me down after reading so many reviews. In the end though the old addage rings true, you pay $15 for a set of headphones, and that's what you get.
Good...While they last. Practically disposable.July 27, 2010 nozama These buds were great for the price, but after some months of use the connection near the plug went bad. Now, the right bud doesn't work. I would not recommend these. I need to find something with better wire construction. Just to add, I never abused these.
Fabulous!July 26, 2010 J. Traynor(Florida) These are the most comfortable earbuds I've ever used. And they're the best sounding I've ever heard. Just one word -- fabulous!
Lasted 4 monthsJuly 25, 2010 dweezil(Media, PA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my second pair of JBuds. I bought the first pair in Sept. 2009 and they worked great until March 2010 when one side lost sound. There was no crack in the wire, nothing visible to show what caused the problem. Thinking flimsy cords might be the issue I purchased another pair with heavier duty cord. Same problem after only 4 months. The JBuds sound great and are comfortable once you determine which size bud you need, but I can't afford to replace them every few months. Moving on to another brand.
