 Best Earbuds I've ever used! August 2, 2008
I've gone through a variety of in-ear earbuds (Creative, Sony MDR etc.), looking for the best and most low cost kind that will suit my active lifestyle and I've finally found them. Initially I was skeptical due to the flashy name and looks but once I got a pair, I was amazed at the sound quality and durability of these earbuds. They feel a bit cheap, yes, but the sound quality is actually very nice, better than my last Creative in-ears which cost about $10-15 more. However, the cords feel a bit gentle so you'll have to treat them gently and not throw and twist them around a lot. If you take care of them, they'll certainly last for quite awhile. Mine gave out after a year and a half (Creative's broke in 6 months) and after my Full Metal Jacket's have spanned their lifetime, I fully plan on getting another pair of these.
 Disappointing. August 1, 2008
The best part about this product? These earbuds look good. Which is part of the reason why I bought them in the first place, and now I'm kicking myself for it. Actually, I also loooved that they had a volume slider attached to the cord. I really miss having that feature--there don't seem to be any comparable earbuds for the price that have a volume slider.
The sound is alright, not particularly full and fleshed out (which you could defend with their price, if not for the fact that the Creative EP 630s have much better sound and cost about the same). Mine broke after two months of normal use though. I'm sure not everyone's break, but mine did. The right bud shorted out.
Other complaints? Despite the different sizes of ear pieces included (small, medium, and large), trying them all out I still couldn't find a comfortable fit for working out in them, and I do not have oddly shaped ears--I've never had such problems with earbuds of any other brand falling out before while jogging or using the elliptical. I think part of this has to do with the material used for the earpieces, not just the shape. While it's easier to clean than some earbuds with similar pieces, it tends to slides out of your eat easier. The buds just wouldn't get stay in unless I was just sort of sitting around. Also, you can still hear quite a bit of outside noise. Yes, I know they aren't advertised as noisecancelling, but there are other buds which are not either and block out much more than these do. (Creative, Sennheiser, etc.)
The ultimate in earbuds! July 31, 2008
I've heard no other earbud that's even come close to the sound quality of this set. The bass is incredible and they're comfortable. I use them on my PSP and the bass pumps, the mids are nicely discernable, and the highs are distinct. They give you three sizes of tips so you can find the best fit for your ear. Don't know why some of the other Amazon shoppers dis the sound quality unless they're not getting them seated correctly in their ears. I haven't tried Skullcandy's Full Metal Jacket or TiTans yet, so I can't compare the Smokin' Buds to either of them. For the money, you can't get better here.
Not my Favorite July 28, 2008
Pros: Pretty good noise blocking and like the volume control on chord.
Cons: Fall out of your ears easily. Especially while running or working out. Right side of headphones stopped working after about a month.
 Sound and work fine July 24, 2008
These are good earbuds. The bass isn't super strong, but overall sound quality is great for the price. You get what you pay for. If you're looking for unbelievable sound you're going to have to pay a lot more money than you would for these headphones.
