Jbuds - Awesome
These are the best earbuds I have ever used.
I can totally screen out the outside noise and ignore the phone if I want.
GREAT!

okay buds, I wouldn't buy them again
I've worn these type of ear buds before and was used to how the old ones fit in my ear. These keep falling out, even trying each of the three rubber discs that come w/the buds. What's more, apparently there seems to be a wiring issue because one of buds "cuts out" on a regular basis. I'll definitely go back to a Sony product next time. These weren't worth the money.

Great sound - quit after 6 months
I received these headphones as a gift in December 2007. These headphones have a great sound - crisp with lots of bass - and they block outside noise very well - but the wires in the plug eventually became loose, and though for a few days I was able to "jiggle" the cable to get sound, they eventually quit completely. I was disappointed when they stopped working, since I did like the sound. I'm pretty cognizant of not "pinching" the cable when I would wrap my headphones up around my iPod, so as to not put any extra stress on that point. While I can't say I was rough with the headphones, I can't say I was most gentle with them, either (used for commuting, walking, working out, etc.). They quit in June 2008.

I was going to buy a second pair of these, but I decided to try the Coby headphones - after all, six bucks is worth a try - and I have to say that the Coby headphones have the same quality of sound and noise-canceling ability. I'm not an audiophile by any standard, and my hearing is about average, so if you're trying to decide between the jBuds and the Cobys, go with the Cobys. If you need the different size silicone earbuds (I lost four out of six due to my "throw in the bag / pocket / gym bag" treatment),

Are You Deaf?
As I write this, I see that 300+ people give these a five-star rating. WHAT?? Are you deaf? I'm a program producer, an FM radio DJ, and a lover of music. The sound that comes out of these is only marginally better than what one hears with two soup cans and a length of string. The bass is poor, the midrange mushy, and the treble tinny. If you want a good set of earbuds, go SONY. They're cheaper, and sound INFINITELY better. A side-by-side comparison is all you need. I wish I'd never bought these.

Comfortable ear buds, finally
I have a very small ear canal, so these ear buds with different sized soft inserts available are wonderful! They are the first ones I can actually put IN my ear that will stay, because they are not too big to fit comfortably. And the noise reduction is great at work when I need to concentrate.
