Summary: why?
Comment: i got these headphones aboug 6 months ago. i used them every day for the past 3 months, since i got an ipod. decent sound for the price, and much nicer and better fit than the ipod headphones.
so why now, did the right bud just stop working yesterday?
definitely cheap product. buy them if you are low on cash and want an alternative to the crappy ipod headphones.
Customer Rating:
Summary: nice design, but terrible sound
Comment: not a big fan of this headset. it'd be better to just not have the bass instead of this low quality peaking bass that's just annoying. the sounds wavers and get distorted on certain songs too, i don't know if my headphones are just busted or if this is the way it's supposed to sound.

Summary: Ow
Comment: I can't get these to fit in my ear canal without genuine pain, and even if I do, they won't stay in for long. For the few moments they're connected, the sound is better than the default iPod headphones... in fact, you can spin them around backwards and get better sound than iPod earbuds, but they won't stay in that way either.
I wish I'd read the reviews here before buying them off the shelf. Due to the fit issue, they're simply unusable for me.

Summary: Pretty good
Comment: I got these as a gift after my Sony MDR-E818 headphones broke after 6 months. I was planning to buy those again, but these came as a good replacement. The pack came with a replacement/alternate silicone part, shaped like the picture above. The main silicone part was shaped more like a cone, but for my ears the replacement fit much better and didn't have to be shoved into the ear. They output good sound but have a little less bass for my tastes.
There are some things that could be improved:
1) I lost the silicone part after leaving it in my backpack and had to use the replacement part. These should be held on more tightly since now I am worried I will lose the replacement. A little super glue will fix the problem.
2) The "asymmetric cabling system" is a bit annoying: the right cord is MUCH longer than the left one and doesn't need to be. The cord hangs over the right shoulder and touches my cheek frequently...and really is annoying!
3) The case looks cool but there's no place to put the plug so I just stuff it in there most of the time - but then it gets all bumpy. I prefer the ones that are plastic and have a type of manual crank.
Overall, these headphones give enough for their price and aren't that bad.
Customer Rating:
Summary: not bad, not great
Comment: I bought these at best buy, my first impression was that they were awesome. I still think for the amount of money they are a pretty good deal. But my major complaint is that the fittings are easy to lose and can come off easy. I suppose if I could take better care I wouldn't have lost one of the fittings but they did seem to come off pretty easy. I guess I wish that they would have come with one or two replacements. I still think for the price if they could do something about the fittings buy making them stay on better and including a few spares, these are a great buy.

An ideal complement to portable DVD players and laptops with built-in DVD drives, this pair of ear-bud surround sound headphones simulates the home theater experience whether you're listening privately on a plane, in a hotel room, or even at the park. Each bud features a single 15 mm neodymium speaker driver with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. But when combined, the buds incorporate Philips' patented virtual surround technology to create a rich, multichannel-like environment. Though it's not true surround sound, it's as close as a listener will get through a two-channel source, especially one that fits comfortably inside the ear canals. The buds come with a flexible, molded-rubber carrying case, along with a 3.9-foot cord that should be long enough for most applications. The cord's flexi-grip end connection lithely responds to rough handling, while its 24k gold-plated plug ensures the best possible signal transfer for a better overall sound. What's in the Box
HE592 ear buds, 3.9-foot cord, rubber carrying case, user's manual.
