Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First, I'd recommend reading all of the reviews for the LG Chocolate headphones which are identical to this except that they fit a standard 2.5mm headphone jack port and are silver, where these are specifically for those LG phones that have no such port such as my VX8700. I've found that all of the positive statements about the versatility of that setup are equally true for this one, right down to being able to plug into an input port on your car stereo (if equipped) to play through your auto stereo speakers hands-free and still be able to take and place calls.
That said I have some specific comments about the so-called "throwaway" earbuds that come with this set-- primarily that they are far better than they seem at first with but one small addition. Initially I had problems fitting them into my ear and they'd fall out if I even turned my head. While relatively clear, or at least as clear as my Sony Fontopia buds, they were lacking in bass for tracks that require good bass response such as Journey, The Eagles, Enya, or virtually all movie sound tracks(especially John Williams!). However, I took the little foam cover "booties" off of the Creative earbuds that came with my Zen and VOILA! they not only would stay comfortably in my ears but had greatly increased bass response with very little loss in midrange and high-end clarity! IMO they are now as good as the Sennheiser CX300 (bass as good without the tinniness, though not quite as clear midrange and highs) and better than the Fontopias or SP630's all-around. Nowhere near as good as CX500's or my monster supra-aural Sennheiser headphones, of course, but as good as anything I've tried in the $50 earbud class and better than most, and that's awesome condidering the price. So try some foam earbud covers before condemning these buds and springing for more expensive ones.
Overall I give this item a "100" on it's report card for it's price, versatility, and quality given it's intended purpose.
