Wow, another set of head plugs that can get tangled in their own wires. I cannot wait to get them and rip the wires out trying to un-wrap them from everything else around them. It would be like trying to get a hanger out of a closet without bringing every other hanger out with it. When are they going to come out with something useful like WIRELESS ear buds? If the wires are always getting tangled and you get too frustrated untangling them to even listen to damn things, what good are they? I would happy buy expensive low grade ear buds simply because they were wireless before I would buy cheaper high quality ear buds. All because on the tangled wires. This is 2007 invent something that will WOW me not something else that will give me a headache.

Everything that’s wireless, needs batteries to operate. It’s not that hard to imagine. How would you incorporate something like that with such mini headphones?? There’s nothing to stick the power to. If you desperately want wireless, you’d have to go look for the bigger sennheisers…. Meanwhile, stop whining.

I don’t care about wireless headphones at all…but I would kill for some high quality in-ear earphones like these, but with an integrated mic (and without having to use a stupid adapter) that would work with the iPhone though.

...and these are better than the Sony MDR EX-71’s how? Oh, right, because they cost twice as much.
What’s so fantastic about these? Besides, you never know when your iPod will decide that you only need to hear out of one ear and make one of your earbuds stop functioning. The cord on these kind of earphones do tend to tangle, but it’s so worth it because you usually can’t hear anything going on around you without having to crank up the volume.

Wow, another generic set of cheap buds from China, but more expensive. Wheeeee! But boy, they employ neodymium! How very new and uncommon!
