Negative Positive
Title: Worse than stock
Review: If these were just marketed as decent low cost earbuds, these would be ok headphones. But, since they are marketed as an improvement over the stock iPod headphone, they have to get 1 star. The sound quality is worse than the stock Apple headphones. The JBuds have a much lower bass response. Even pumping up the bass on the equalizer, I can't get these to sound decent. Plus, they are much more uncomfortable. You have to stick these so far into your ear canal I literally get nauseous, and as has been documented elsewhere the "noise-canceling" label is completely false.
