Simple, cheap, and pretty good November 21, 2008
Brian (CA)
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
Timothy M. Hughes (Madison, WI United States)
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.
Good sound, comfort lacking November 16, 2008
Doug (Massachusetts, USA)
Well, upon first appearance they look okay. The first negative I noticed was that there is no little thing on the wire to protect against tangling. They do tangle. The sound was atrocious when I first started using them, but apparently there is an "breaking-in" period because they got much better later.
Indeed, they sound very nice. Not life-changing, but certainly improved from the standard iPod headphones, and the isolation-style earbuds don't necessarily block everything out, but they do help get the sound directly into your ear. Unfortunately, I really DO NOT like the way they fit in my ear. I always feel them slipping out if I smile or turn my head and it drives me CRAZY! I probably would not have gotten them if I'd known that. Of course, there aren't many alternatives.
So overall, the sound is certainly better, but the comfort is a pretty big sacrifice for better sound.
not the best fit November 15, 2008
book reader (Seattle)
These are super cheap headphones (<$6 as of now), and you kinda get what you pay for..
Pros:
Cheap
Decent sound
Decent length cord
Cons:
not the best fit- they tend to fall out easily and become increasingly uncomfortable the longer they're on.
almost no isolation- but what did u expect from a pair of $6 buds?
If you have $6 to spare then I suggest you buy these. They're decent enough. Don't pay more than $10 though.
Tip: I switched the buds (left on right ear & vice versa) and they felt more comfortable. Give it a try.
