Negative Positive
Title: Decent functionality, horrible quality
Review: I bought these earphones in July 2008 to use while cycling. I had tried several cheap headphones, and they died with 6 months. A higher quality earphone should last longer and perform better, I had thought. I have now had these earphones 3 months, and they are now completely dead. After month 1, the left earphone had ripped out of the cord when slightly snagged on my messenger bar. After 2 months, the rubber gasket and earphone cover had fallen off the remaining right earphone. By month 3, the right earphone had pulled out of the housing and would dangle loose. All of this happened just be using the headphones while road cycling. Road cycling is a fairly benign activity, and these earphones failed spectacularly. The sound quality was great for the month that both earphones worked, and that is the reason for the 2 stars. If they stay in piece, they do work fairly well.
Is the review positive or negative?
