A poor quality product Jan 13, 2007
By Cisco Kid
This set of earphones is worst than the original set that came with my MP3 player. The music is flat, there is absolutely no dynamic to what you hear. The noise canceling is a joke. When you turn it on, you actually hear a low level hum! I will not recommend it, you are better off spending a little extra money to get a better set of earphones.

Does not cancel noise Jan 02, 2007
By D. Au
I do not recommend this product. It does not do a good job of canceling noise. The only noise-canceling comes from the ear buds themselves and you have to re-adjust them every so often because they have a habit of sliding out (whether you're sweating or not.) The only noise-canceling the powered remote provides is to add white noise over your music. This is pretty annoying if you're listening to anything acoustic. It's also very noticable between tracks.
I haven't found a single place where I want to use this device (primarily at the gym and on airplanes) because
1) the noise canceling does not work well (the music on the loudspeaker at my gym is loud and airliners are louder)
2) the "remote" is bulky
3) the wire running from the "remote" to the music player is short.
As you might imagine, the second and third points make the headphones incredibly difficult to use with my video iPod when I'm running (inside or outside) or lifting weights. In order to use this without the "remote" hitting me while running and dragging the earbuds out of my ears due to the force of gravity, I would need to buy a sleeve for my iPod that has a belt clip on it and clip both the remote and my iPod to my waistband.
In short, I am very disappointed with this product and have not found it to neet my needs.

Simply Junk! Apr 03, 2007
By Ebuyer
I just bought this - not through Amazon.
Boy are they junk! All other 1 stars are correct.
Now days you can often get a cheep something that works - these are an exception!
More specifically . . .
The remote is huge and made from creepy cheep plastic.
The cord is thick, junkie, and too short.
The noise cancelling is imperceptible. It seems to just make the sound louder. However there is a microphone built in.
The sound is truly terrible.
Beyond that the airplane adaptor seems nice.
I was fortunate in that one side had almost no sound output.
This way, I can take them back!

Poor Quality Mar 06, 2007
By M. Alva
"mari"
These by far are the worst earphones I've ever purchased. They don't stay in your ears, require constant adjusting and the quality stinks! Save your money and purchase something different.

OK but you can get better Mar 27, 2008
By Man4PNW
I picked up a pair of these for my daughter. She complained of a buzing sound. I tried them out and noticed the following. No or very little low frequency response (Base). With the volume up there is a hissing in the background. Since the frequency response of these earbuds is mostly high end, that hiss could quickly get annoying. By lowering the volume on the inline volume control and turning up the volume on the device it was plugged into, I was able to reduce the background hiss.
I have another set Plane quiet noise canceling headphones which are substantially better than the Coby earbuds. However the Plane Quiet headphones sell for about $70.00 so there is a significant difference in the price.
These are OK but I think you might consider spending a little more money getting something better. If, on the otherhand, you are looking for a cheap pair of disposable noise canceling earbuds and have low expectations then you might consider the Coby eabuds.
