AERIE High Definition GEN 1 Black & Gold Earphones

These are just not very good earphones overall.First of all, I'm using the smallest earbuds, and they still are too big. My ears start to ache after a while and the earphones fall out. They don't fit right.Second, they are big. The ear pieces stick out of my ears quite a bit. These are not low profile. They are too big for my taste.And lastly, they are brand new, right out of the pack, but the connection is bad. I need to jiggle the plug around to get them to work. They are muffled and staticky unless they are positioned just right. It's not my devices, either, since other earphones work fine.Once they are positioned correctly, the sound is good, so that is why I am giving these 2 stars instead of 1. But overall, I would not recommend these to anyone!EDIT - 11/22/2016 - In under a month these are basically unusable. They keep cutting out and I will need to replace them already. They are just really poor quality!!

The quality of the bass was exactly what I was looking for, I tend to listen to mostly hip-hop/rap music so I was looking for headphones to fit. These are perfect for the price because although I love music I'm not an audiophile. The audio doesn't sound distorted at high volumes which is always great. The problem I had is the interference when the wires made any contact with my clothes so it gets a little annoying when I'm walking around. Would not recommend these for anything more than walking, such as biking or running.

We go through a lot of ear buds in this house. These are by far the best ones I've used so far. They are comfortable in my ears. The sound is good. I can turn the sound down to about 1/2 to 1/3 the volume I needed to put it on with the ear buds I've used. The search is over. Unless the price suddenly increases, I'll be ordering another pair of these ear buds when they need replacing.Edited to add... It took two years for the left ear bud to stop working. I still occasionally use them as a back up pair since the right side still functions. I did reorder this brand when the first pair died. I love them.

Sound very good, the build quality is ok. Durability and comfort have pleased me so far. Good budget buds.**Update, after about 6 weeks of use, one of the ears fades in volume drastically. Wiggling the miniplug or squeezing where the plug meets the wires seems to help but they are not reliable and have to be replaced. They were good while they lasted but the quality/durability are lacking.

For the price these headphones can't be beat. I thought the base sound was excellent when inserted properly in the ear. Well balanced sound. Can't hear much outside sound because of the tight fit but that only makes the earphone sound that much better as far as I'm concerned. But then again I can't hear the wife trying to talk to me. That could be a negative or positive of course.Great light weight great sounding inexpensive earphone.

For value, I'd rate these five stars. They're not quite the high fidelity of top-of-the line ear buds from other manufacturers, but those cost over $100. For about $10, these are definitely a good buy.

These aren't bad but for the price you can find much better.

Nice headphones, but didn't last very long before breaking from general usage.
