Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Ear Buds (Black)
Customer Review: Very comfortable ear buds
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been very pleased with the JBuds. This actually is my second pair so I can have one at my desk and one for the gym.
They definitely reduce the noise around me and this helps me hear the music from my MP3 player at lower volumes which I really appreciate. Sometimes I'll wear them without having music turned on to eliminate background noise from other offices.
They have three sets of flexible pads so I was able to pick the size that fit best for me. Occasionally when I'm running they will slip from the best seal with my ears although I can easily feel when this has happened and a light touch is all that's needed to reseat the ear bud. I find them very comfortable and will often wear them for multiple hours at my desk while working. I feel they're more comfortable than my Skull Candy ones for long duration wear, although I'm sure this could be a personal preference.
I would highly recommend them, especially for the low price found on Amazon.
Customer Review: Works well for running
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought these earbuds to go with my portable satellite radio to use while running. I was pleased with how they stay in place in my ear even after an hour of bouncing up and down. An interesting thing about these was that they are advertised as noise reducing, but they reduce little to none of the ambient noise. This turned out to be a wonderful thing because you don't want to be completely deafened to the world while you're out running a few feet from traffic. The sound isn't perfect and isn't as good as some higher end buds, but I don't feel like I'm missing any of the music either. They really were quite inexpensive.
Eco-friendly consumers may not like the packaging. It came in a huge box with lots of excess packaging, and they had the nerve to include a little card telling you how eco-friendly their packaging is -_-.
People who have large ears might not find a good fit, as I had to use the largest piece out of the set and I'm very petite (with proportional ears!)
Customer Review: After 2 1/2 Years, STILL great earbuds!
Summary: 5 Stars
As I pulled this up to re-order another pair (not because my old ones don't work, there are still working in A+ condition, I just need a 2nd pair for 2nd ipod), I noticed that it was back in November 2006 that I ordered that first pair. Those still work great. Before buying this I remember trying several different earbuds, including that dreaded apple pair that comes with the ipods, and they were all so uncomfortable in my ears. Hated them. These are very comfortable to wear for an extended period of time. The sound that comes out of these little buds is amazing. The only other type of headphones I have tried that I would even consider buying over these would be the Bose over the ear (if I ever get the courage to spend $200 on a headphone set). Besides the Bose, nothing else compares when you look at price ($10 a set!), sound and comfort in one earbud. Very happy with the first pair over 2 years ago, so I am now a happy re-peat buyer! Worth the $10, and then some!Customer Review: JBuds deliver on claim
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the JBuds after looking at many other noise-reducing items at a far greater price. Great delivery got the buds to me in a couple days. I immediately put them on finding the perfect fit for my ears using the interchangeable foam covers. The buds are very comfortable, hardly feeling them in my ears, unlike the ipod headphones that are hard causing some discomfort after several minutes of wear. Secondly, the sound produced by the buds is rich and clear...the highs a very true, the bass while not booming, is more than adequate to provide very good representation of your music. Thirdly, the circular foam earpiece covers provide not only comfort but also screen out most of the background noise so that your music is what you hear. If you are tired of wearing this type of headphone and continually pushing on the earpieces to get the full sound of your music, give these buds a try. I am fully satisfied with the purchase, and, the price is a true bonus!Customer Review: One of the wiser choices I've made as a consumer.
Summary: 5 Stars
I think it would be fair to say that economically this was one of the best purchases I've made, beyond just the realm of earphone purchases. The sound quality and comfort are both very good, and the bass is substantial, for those that enjoy playing rock and hip-hop. The sound reduction is significant but not high enough to increase the risks of not hearing potential dangers while walking or running through the streets. In terms of durability, I've had these earphones for 2 months with no trouble. I do take extra care to protect the plug area from bending, and I would recommend others to do the same. Overall, for $10 these JBuds were an excellent decision. In fact, if my pair were to break within the next month, I'd probably buy another pair. But after reading the comments I noticed that the customer service is exceptional too. Definitely would recommend a pair of these for those that enjoy listening to music everyday, but do not want to spend too much.
