I am a sound engineer for our church and I have only had a problem with one wireless mic wire, and it was even smaller than this one. I read where several people complained about the thickness of the wire so I compared them to the ones that came with my ipod and it is just a shade smaller. They come with three different size ear canal cushions. Now you have to keep everything in perspective here. The speakers are about the size of a number button on a tv remote. The case is a hard case about the size of a coke can in circumference and about one inch thick.
I had to take off the medium ones that came on them and put on the small size. Not the easiest thing to do but once I got them on and stuck them in my ears they felt 100 percent better than the buds that came with the ipod (HANDS DOWN). After wearing them for about an hour there was just a little discomfort but nothing like the pain I endured with the old buds. Just kind of bunch it up when you put it in the case and you will probably never have any issues with the wire.They probably should have put protectors near the ends to help keep the wire from breaking but if you take care of them they should last for a long time. Not a big issue for me.
UPDATE After breaking them in for the 10 hours, it did seem to make a difference in the low end. What do they sound like. The next thing I noticed was the wire for the buds. But they have a good range from the bass to the highs.
Now for the most important quality in buds. That alone makes them worth the $$. These are the ones.P.S.THEY STAY IN YOUR EARS. My ears got just a little sore the first couple of days but now they do not bother me at all.
Did not recall reading that they came with the buds but it was a nice surprise. GREAT. The inside even has a small net pouch for storing the extra ear cushions. I am glad I can quit looking for a pair of buds that live up to my standards. I wore them for an hour and thirty minutes while working out at the gym and after removing them my ears were completely fine. The music is really crisp with the perfect balance of lows and highs. I have been using them for about five days now and I have found that the buds need to be pushed all the way in to the ear canal for the best sound. It has a sturdy zipper for opening and closing.
Do not wrap or roll the wire up when you store it. I forgot I had them on one time and almost yanked them out by accident. I am still breaking them in for the recommended 8 to 10 hours and hope to gain even better sound but for the price I think you would be hard pressed to find better sounding buds on the market. THEY DID NOT FALL OUT THROUGH MY WHOLE WORKOUT. Just received my buds and the first thing I noticed was that they came with a carrying case. The elbows (or whatever they are called) that connect to the left and right buds are made of plastic and feel pretty flimsy but I am assuming they use plastic to make them lighter. I doubt the bass hits as low as they claim but much better than all of the other brands I have tried out.
The hardest part of using these is to identify the correct size earbud that best serves your listening requirement and ear canal size; getting used to the design may be a little awkward at first but one adapts quickly, and can see the design benefit. I use my earbuds during excercise, cutting the grass and other such activities and have found them to not only be all they are advertised to be but also to be tough as nails. Before you make a costly investment, I would highly recommend you give these earbuds an opportunity, in most cases I am certain this will be all that you require. This was actually my second purchase of the Sound Squared earbuds. If you compare these to other models you will find they have the same noise reduction features as those costing significantly more. I highly recommend these for listening to your iPod or mp3 player and have bought 3 additional sets for my family members.
Purchased a second set for my wife shortly thereafter. I was even able to lower the MP3 volume setting down a couple of notches and still enjoy better listening quality than before. Highly recommended. I purchased these to replace some Sony units. The sound quality and range was noticeably improved over the Sonys. Durability has been good so far, but it is too early to make that call at this point.
Good sounding base. Very pleased with the product and the service of the seller. New pair works very well. They sent me a brand new pair with and envelope with return postage. My first pair developed some crackling noise in the right speaker. Overall very good ear buds. Emailed the seller. Excellent clarity.
Wonderful sound but not made for the long haul. Regrettably both girls were only able to enjoy their Sound-Squared earbuds for about 2 months before the "buds broke off the stem" and the wires broke. I bought two sets of the Sound-Squared "GMS-104" Sport earbuds for my daughters (14 and 16) for Christmas. Both girls loved the quality of the sound; the clarity of the music whether modern or classical was excellent. The earbuds were not subjected to anything more stressful than ordinary daily commutes to and from school and other events.
