Coby CVEM86 Earphones with Microphone

When I first received these headphones, I loved them. They offered the right amount of isolation and were very sleek. However, after one week, the casing on the left earbud kept detaching but I was able to reconnect it each time. A few days later, the entire wiring of the left earbud came off from the metal connector. So they were rendered completely useless after a little more than a week. Such a disappointment!

The earbuds are decent and I definitely like them much better than the earbuds with microphone that came with my iPhone. However, they aren't as good as some of the other earbuds I have had in that same ~ $15 price range (like the Phillips). The sound isn't quite as good. But, for the price and the ability to have both stereo music playing and the ability to make and receive calls (which is what you are stuck with on the iPhone until Apple provides A2DP so we can use bluetooth stereo sets)it's still a good buy. They are much more comfortable than the normal run of the mill earbuds, which are constantly falling out.

These headphones are garbage. The left headphone fell apart after a few weeks. Others had the same issue. Sound is horrible. I only bought these because the of iphone controls and they fit into my ears while riding motorcycle. The warranty is a joke. After you pay for shipping both ways and their $6 warranty fee, you could be a new set to use for 2 weeks until they break again. Look elsewhere for better quality. This is GARBAGE from China full of Lead and warnings on the box to wash hands after touching them.

I never liked the sound quality of the iPhone 3g supplied earbuds. Plus I too had issues with earbuds falling out when doing any sort of activity. But I didn't want to give up the microphone and music control feature. So I started shopping around. Other options like the Optimo were at least $50 and had some issues. I don't really want to pay $100 on a set of V-Modas either. So I took a chance on these Coby earbuds despite some negative reviews figuring that $20 is not alot to pay for earbuds. Am I glad I did. These Coby sound way better than the Apple earbuds. Bass response is very good without overpowering. Hip Hop sounds great. The drums on many of the Alternative rock I listen to have good punch. Highs are a little sharp for my taste, but not overly so. Overall I enjoy using these much more than the Apple buds. The music controls work great with my iPhone 3g and the size of the mic/control piece is almost the same size as the Apple earbuds. Only thing is the button is only on ... Read more

JUNK! I purchased 2 sets of these headphones from Amazon, and the ear bud on one set fell apart after only 10 days of use. I called Coby for warranty replacement, and they want me to pay a $6 warranty fee to replace their piece of junk headphones. Poor quality product and weak warranty policy.
