Human Toolz Sound Budz XST In-Ear Sound Isolating Headphones with Mic Bundle (Blue)

These in-ear earbuds work well and sound better than the apple earbuds my iPhone came with.On the downside, when I would try to unplug the earbuds from my phone (it has a blue metal cover over the part you use to pull to unplug) would be pulled off and the rest of the plug would be to slippery and tiny to unplug eventually causing me to end up pulling the white cord cover exposing the actual wires (view the product images), I ended up fixing this with super glue.Then just recently the thick piece of rubber that keeps the wire straight ripped causing the sound of the ear buds to occasionally work only in one ear when the wire is bent a certain way.Overall I recommend to shop elsewhere for a higher quality earbuds, unless your fine having to glue pieces of the earbud's jack to keep it working properly.

SO i wanted to test these babies out before writing a review on them so here it goes:Functionality:These earbuds are a GREAT resource to me on the go, at work and at school. They are made of metal (which makes them harder to break LOL) and come with a nifty carrying sack. The ear plug sizes are great for accommodation, and since I have big ears, the biggest size worked perfectly for me. However, the pieces are easily lost and the Large ear plug is now lost. I was upset at this, considering the plugs should stay on the headphones easily, but I've dealt with it and now use the earphones with two different sized plugs. Fuctionality? 4.5/5 StarsSound:So there are good and bad things to say, but the good outweighs the bad. The good thing is that the sound is crisp, clear and envelops you into the music/entertainment. It comfortably adjusts with whatever volume you choose (i like mine loud) and it sounds like you're surrounded by the sound. However, I would not call the bass "phenomenal". It is GOOD, I will say that, but it is not to die for. If you're looking for super-bass headphones, look elsewhere, but I am not at all discrediting the GOOD amount of bass these bad boys put out. Another REALLY cool thing about these headphones is that you can play your music almost as loudly as you want and it is very difficult for others to hear your music playing. I have tested this with various test subjects from several distances and volumes and the consensus is that the sound is very faint. So for the kind of earbuds you'd be getting at this inexpensive price, 5/5 Stars for Sound.Worth Your Money?Well let me ask you this: are you looking for an inexpensive alternative to noise-cancelling headphones? Can you honestly beat a deal this good for a product of such high quality? Are you getting these for someone you think would like them? Do YOU think you'd like them? If you answer yes to ANY ONE question above, then I say BUY IT. SUPER glad that I did and I love them... just don't go losin' plugs like me and you'll be fine!OVERALL: 4.75/5 STARS

I wasn't looking for much in headphones, but these did not fit the bill. The sound is very hollow compared to other cheap earbuds, and they do a poor job of noise blockage. Also, I have never had any problems with earbuds actually staying in before now, but no matter which size of plug I use I can not get them to stay in during even so much as chewing. Go somewhere else for you cheap earbud needs. There are other products in the price range with much better performance (Sony for instance).

I bought these back in late October and wanted to give them a decent test of time to see how they would hold up before providing my review. They have held up perfectly! The overall quality of these will surprise you. They have several features that make these perfect for my needs. I use them as a hands free headset while driving, to listen to music while working out and they are also perfect when I travel for business. The cord winder and carry pouch are awesome at keeping the cord untangled (pet peeve) and protected. They come with 3 different sized earbud covers which makes these work for people with all different sized ears. The covers are comfortable and stay inside the ear very well, something that all of the other earbuds I've tried in the past have failed to do. These also cancel outside noise out extremely well. This can be a double edged sword for me as I often work out with a friend at the gym. I can't hear him while wearing these, so I don't wear them when we go together. But it is definitely a nice feature when I'm working out solo or trying to catch a quick nap on the plane and need to drown out the crying baby. :)There is a microphone with a one-touch answer/hang-up feature which is great. My only gripe with these earbuds is the microphone part looks a little cheap, but so far I have had zero issues with it.The sound quality is well above average, but not the best out there. If you're expecting to get supreme sound quality from these, then you're looking in the wrong place (and also have unrealistic expectations). If you're looking for a high quality set of earbuds with tons of useful features for a fantastic price then you came to the right place.I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone.

I ended up returning these. I tried to make and receive phone calls with them on my iphone and the quality was terrible - it sounded like the call was breaking up. I tested with my old headphones and these in the same location to make sure it was the headphones and not AT&T service but with my old headphones I could hear them and they could hear me fine but not with these.

You must keep this wrapped with the accompanied piece or it will become a mangle when you go to get it, but I find doing that a hassle. I use it all of the time for my iPhone 4S while on walks. I can listen to music, answer the phone and listen to my app tell me my walking stats, all without looking at the phone. Just needs to be a bit thicker so it won't tangle so easily.
