 Cute, comfortable, and functional Feb 02, 2010
By Ancora
After reading some of the reviews about these earbuds, I wasn't holding out any high expectations. Yet when I tried them I was happily surprised!
If you're looking for a pair of earbuds that will totally eliminate noise, then these aren't for you, but they definitely cut down background noise by a lot. (My family can attest to that :P ) I love wearing them while I'm doing something kind of loud, like the dishes and I want to listen to my music without turning the volume waaay up.
The color was great (I got hot pink) and when my sister saw them her first comment was "Wow! How cute!"
I have no complaints about sound quality. For the price ($5-$7), I'd say these earbuds are definitely an excellent buy!

 You get what you pay for Feb 11, 2011
By Jeff
I bought these on a budget, a tight budget. I figured they looked okay for $5. I got them today and so far was impressed until actually used them. They are comfortable and eliminate noise pretty well. However, when it comes to sound quality, it's not nearly the best. There's almost no bass present, which can cause problems, and the sound can sometimes sound weird (for lack of the word I'm looking for). So if you're on a tight budget, get these, if not, get something else.

Cute, comfortable and inexpensive Nov 06, 2009
By Cricket
"Living life and loving it!"
I bought the Coby Jammerz Isolation Stereo Earphones in Pink for my daughter so that she would stop "borrowing" mine. I already have two pairs of Coby Isolation Stereo Earphones and for the price I've been very happy with them.
They are obviously not top of the line, but for listening to music when taking a walk, sitting at my desk at work or riding the commuter train they perform well. The earbud design definitely blocks out quite a bit of outside noise which is great and they're comfortable too. The only room for improvement on these would be to give the cord a little more length, but for around $5 I won't complain.
If you're looking for an inexpensive extra pair or need to replace one you or a child has lost, I highly recommend these. So far I haven't lost any, but if I were too it'll be much easier to accept than some of the higher priced headphones.

Cool Comfortable Colored Earphones Dec 05, 2010
By G. Max Gooding
These are a nice pair of earphones. Firstly you must realise that there are fine wires inside this unit, hence if you rough them up too much, they won't last very long. I find that the sound reproduction is acceptable and the bass depth is beyond reproach.
Here are the specifications for these earphones:
- Impedance: 16 ohms +/- 10%
- Frequency Range: 20 - 20,000 Hz
- Sensitivity: 102 dB +/- 3% /1mW @ 1kHz
- Rated/Max Input Power: 5mW/10mW
- Driver Size: 9 mm
- Weight: 14.8g
I find that these are a nice set of earphones, however, for their longevity, due care must be taken with them.

 Wow, surprisingly bad Aug 02, 2011
By T. Fisher
I use cheap earbuds all the time. I have generally found that expensive ones fall apart almost just as badly as the cheap ones, and don't necessarily sound all that much better. And although I generally listen to classical music, I am by no means an audiophile. My attitude is that people used to enjoy classical music on 78 RPM gramophone records -- so all those people who say the most expensive equipment is absolutely necessary should just stop whining and get on with their lives.
So I wasn't coming to these earbuds with great expectations. I have even had perfectly acceptable Coby earbuds in the past.
But wow, these are bad. My low expectations were considerably undershot.
Imagine the sound of stereo speakers packed under a couple feet of blankets but turned up loud enough so you could still hear it. Imagine the dull, muted, lifeless sound that emerges from under the blankets.
That's exactly what these sound like.
I'll keep them as backups in the car glove compartment for occasions when I'm on the road and forget to bring other options. I will never listen to music with them, but they may be just barely OK for spoken word podcasts, like Car Talk or a news program. Not for anything else.
Take it from a fellow cheapskate. You're better off spending a couple dollars more.
