 My purchase came on time January 10, 2007
I'm overall happy with my purchase of the earhook headphone. It was at first tricky and didn't seem to fit right. If you feel frustration, I suggest you put it down and then come back to it and try it on. I would recommend this seller to a friend.
 Ear Bud Review January 6, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although the sound is very good in these ear buds ..... they are quite uncomfortable and hard to position on the ear . Not at all what I was hoping for.
Pretty decent headphones January 4, 2007
These headphones have great sound quality. They are much better than the ones that came with my ipod. My only compaint is that they do not stay in my ears quite as well as I would like them to while I jog. The price can't be beat.
Good Sound, Durable, and Inexpensive, Just Wish They'd Fit December 31, 2006
To me, looking for a quality pair of headphones is like looking through a box of buttons for the exact color. I am picky at times with my purchases of headphones and I have dissatisfied many, many *cough Maxell cough* times. I tried a pair of Maxell headbuds, but judging by my review you'd know that didn't go as planned. So on my way to Target. I was shocked, they had a bigger headphones selection than Best Buy and Circuit City combined. So many to choose from, so little time. I looked at mostly earbud models and clip headphones (the one that have a clip behind the ear). That still left a lot so I minimized my search from eliminating those with white cords and brands I'm not so sure about, even then I ended up with some choice. They had my trusty MDRE828LP earbuds by Sony, but for some reason Sony must've jacked up the price because they were thirteen bucks and I know Walmart has them for half that price. Left were Sony clip earbuds, two kinds of Philips clip speakers that were priced differently, and these. Sorry, I had to bulge, or in other words by two sets. One of those sets did end up to be these, the Philips SHS3200 clip earbuds, and I must say, I'm a bit dissappointed. Great sound quality, they were only ten bucks, but do not fit my ears. They don't have a ton of extra bells to them, but they do what they say.
The sound of these are great. When plugged into my iPod I did get a good sound to them. They have a really nice bass sound, that is consistent at higher volumes, but like all headphones I did get some distortion at higher volumes if the bass booster was on. The mids are a bit more coarse at higher volumes, but they do sound very balanced to me. It seems the closer the actual speaker was to my ear, the more satisfing the mids were. They also have a nice, clear treble, that makes them perfect for audiobooks and speech. But overall, these have a nice, balanced sound with a bit of a punch in the bass.
For comfort, I wore these for some time and found them to be uncomfortable. They do take some time to get used to so don't expect to flip them on and have a great fit or expect them to feel comfortable in the first week of use, but even then these were way too uncomfortable. The bud was too big for my ear, and kept drilling into my ear. They probably will fit larger ears but do not fit my (i'd say kinda small to average) ears. After wearing them for only 30 minutes I did eventually start to feel pressure on my ears. The earhook is flexible and comfortable but I think Philips spend too much on the flexible hook than the actual earbuds. I got a bit tripped up on the Amazon listing; they have a metal thing in the hook and when it said flexible hook I thought that you can move the hook. Remeber these are only ten bucks so they don't do much more than the packaging lists.
These have an L-shaped cord so these won't die from plug issues and the cord is a long, four feet so you won't feel like you're on a leash while using your MP3 player or other device. Also know these come in both white and black. For other plus points, the cord is wrapped heavily so there's a good chance these will last longer than most other headphones. My Sony MDRE828LP earbuds still work but the cord is coming apart due to normal wear-and-tear of my headphones, so these will likely last longer. Also since they are earbuds they aren't too bulky so they're much better for portable use than the bulky over-the-head style. Another good point is that these have a year warranty, while Sony's lasts only three months.
Overall, solid earbuds that don't fit. They have a well balanced sound with great bass, are strudy, and are priced low, but are useless to me since they refuse to fit. Somewhat upsetting because I found nothing wrong with them other than the comfort issue at all. But I've decided that nothing matters if I can't wear them, so they're going back for return, but if you have bigger ears you may want to try these. 3 stars.
Good quality, but they don't fit. December 20, 2006

The sound quality of these buds is actually very good. Great bass quality and great high range sounds as well. The fit however is not. The hooks are much too large for my ears(which are somewhat on the small side I suppose) and end up providing no support at all. The bud itself is too large to go in my ear canal without massive amounts of pain being caused. Which forces me to have them sit awkwardly pointing at my ear rather than sitting inside. The hooks then end up pointing outwards and makes it look like I am wearing some odd form of hearing aid.
In short if you have small ears and/or a small ear canal(I would say that if normal ear buds fit tightly and snugly in your ears that your ears are around the same size as mine), then these buds will definitely be too large for you
