Griffin 9401-TUNBDSB TuneBuds (Black)

There's bass and not much else 2010-01-16

Reviewer: J. Ma

I've tried a lot of different earbuds before -- cheap ones they give away on airplanes or conferences, super high end ones, and ones in between. I must say that I can probably tolerate almost any pair thrown at me (although, of course, I do prefer some over the others). This is the first pair of earbuds I actually actively dislike -- there is weird artificial bass that is overemphasized to the point where it is distracting, almost like a pressure in your ear whenever anything on the lower end of the sound spectrum rolls around. Everything else sounds OK (I would say slightly muddled) but the bass just is horrible.....

Ok, I bought these due to the fact that the iPod's stock are a pain in the butt cuz they fall out all the time when I work out. So I bought these for [...]. At first I was displeased with the bass clarity as well as with the treble. However, I put the smaller pads/inserts on and played around with them a little bit, which took a good ten minutes of frustration. However, once I found the spot in my ear that gets a good seal on these buds, the bass and treble both came to life. I really was amazed how great these sound for such a low price. Read good reviews on them in MacWorld, figured I'd give em a shot, glad I did. If you are looking for a budget pair of excellent quality earbuds, look no further!

The sound from these is worse than the standard iPod headphones I already have. If I hadn't bought them in an airport, I would definitely have taken them back. On the plus side: the earbuds fit nicely and don't hurt or fall out, the cord is a nice cloth-like material, not plastic, so it feels especially durable, the design is cool and the mic/song advance button works perfectly with my iPhone. But the HUGE negative: the SOUND; it's all highs, no booming bass as the product description says. Very scratchy tinny sound forcing me to use the equalizer in the iPod to give some bass to the music. This then eats up battery and so I hate doing it, and hate switching the equalizer back to normal for any other way of listening. Not a winner.

Great Sound ! No Volume Control ( so not a full replacement ) 2009-10-21

I've used Tunebuds back in 2005 so I knew I wouldn't expect any less that great sound quality and comfort.

Pro
- great sound ( Deep quality bass )
- great comfort
- looks great
- It's black
- Lanyard wire
- Also, you don't have to turn your iPod/iPhone up anymore than half in any usual environment

Con
- Doesn't have volume control.

The only thing I could see as dangerous is not being as aware of your environment but thats the risk with all in-ear product.

I'm very accustom now to having the volume control on the wire so that might take getting use to.

I love them, and I'm sure you will love them too.
Enjoy.

These are I think 15 at the store before tax, so this isn't an AMAZING deal, but still a couple bucks is nice in these bad economy times. Anyway their nice and comfortable compared to ones that are just supposed to stick or stay in your ears and are plastic, screw those.
