These headphones have very good sound for the price. I own 3 pairs of these and a pair of Shures. 9 times out of 10 I use these because they have great sound, and are by far the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. Compared to my shures these things easily fit in your pocket and weight almost nothing. For this price I couldn't recommend a better pair of headphones. Just my two cents .

Another advantage of Amazon over JR is that you get a $5 credit for downloads.
But if you dont have prime, you have to pay shipping or buy $25 worth of stuff to get free shipping, so why is this better (if you don't have prime)it will cost $21.43 from Amazon versus $17 from J&R (assuming you dont pay tax at J&R) so your just buying $5 worth of songs basically and saving maybe 50 cents ?
Just buy 2. You're probably going to lose one of them eventually. Of if you really are enough of a music fan to need new headphones, buy a new CD you were going to get anyway.

then you would buy the CX-400-B which sound just a little better, and/or a set of COMPLY foam tips, which make them into (IMO) the best Hifi earpiece ever made

I do have Prime, so I wasn't thinking about having to spend $25. I resisted for awhile after a trial, but I have to say the service is great. I've always received my orders within the two day time frame. The convenience can't be beat and before I had Prime I wasted time and money trying to get to $25. Without Prime, I agree that buying from J&R might be a better way to go.
The sound is good, but just don't move around... if the cable rubs up against something, the vibrations transmit into the ear as noise. They pop out my ears quite easily, too.

I have 3 pairs of these. One cheap china knockoff, a creative branded one, and an authentic one. All of them sound good (the china knockoff isn't as good but it still isn't that bad either). They all stay in my ears just fine and won't come out easily. Although when my dad tries to wear them, he can never seem to get them to fit in just right no matter what size insert is on the headphones. I think some people just have differently sized/shaped ears. I do have to agree with the fact that you can hear the sound of the cord bouncing off of your clothes through the headphones. Must resist getting another pair!!

The COMPLY foam tips solve both problems, although they are expensive to buy (use them to get the purchase over $25 ) I have put these foam tips on all my SHARP and SENNHEISER earplugs. The foam tip makes a really good earplug into a superb one. But you have to wash them, they do get dirty. .
Hmmmm. I bought my daughter a pair of inexpensive Skull Candy headphones from Amazon. She tried them a couple of times and suggested I return them because of the noise being transferred through the cord when it was 'jostled' or rubbed against her clothing. We've tried many different headphones and never experienced that before. I checked the reviews in more detail after she reported the problem and found that a fair number of people had reported this as a 'con'. Anyway, she considered them basically unusable for that reason. And now I see the same thing reported about these headphones.
My question is this: If these headphones are picking up noise whenever the cords are moving or rubbing against clothing, how can the be considered great headphones? Is everyone just fine with always staying still when listening to music? Or do you consider this 'extra' noise to be okay? Or is the noise problem exagerated? Or what?!
I'm very confused. Would love to get some but don't want to have to return them like the Skull Candy... HELP!
Amazon price is now $15.76. Don't know why the price is bouncing around so much. Sometimes that happens when they are nearly out of stock.
Regarding wire noise, I have been using this brand and model for years and have never experienced that problem. Sometimes I carry my MP3 player in my pants pocket, sometimes in my backpack, sometimes in my jacket. I walk for miles at a time with the headphones in my ears (don't run/jog though). Never any problem.
