SOL REPUBLIC Jax Wired 3-Button In-Ear Headphones, Apple Compatible, Tangle Free Cable, In-Ear Noise Isolation, 4 Ear Tip Sizes, Great For Calls, 1111-36 Blue

Like the sound quality and they do reduce cord tangle. Nice earbuds!

Actually 4.5 stars from me. I bought these to replace an earlier Sol Republic set - my absolute favorite - because the sound went out in one ear. These are actually a slightly different model - my original set had a one button mic, this one has a three button one (note that the picture shows the one button version, not the three button one). I prefer the one button version - it looks better and the mic is positioned better (IMHO). Both versions sound very very good - enough bass to feel it, but not enough to over power the rest of the music (bassheads go elsewhere). The music is clear - no fuzziness, tinny sounds, or booming - and you don't have to crank up the volume to hear it at decent level. I've owned a lot of crappy in-ear headphones, and a few good ones, and this is the best sounding one I've found (I've found at least one Monoprice version that sounds just as good, but it doesn't come with a mic). Solidly constructed, brilliantly colored, well worth the money. Minus 1/2 star just because I prefer the one button mic version better.

Great price, Very good sound reproduction. Kit of rubber inserts made the fit perfect even to lay sideways to sleep listening to music. Has three position switch. Was delivered quickly since was needed as a present.

I was interested in creating a poor mans custom ear buds that I could use while cycling.On the decibullz website the listed the Jax as compatible. And true as advertised the snapped right in. The cords transmit the wind vibration and defeat the effect of sealing off the ear. So at the end of the day the earbuds are OK but not great, It was the decibulz compatibility that moved me to buy these earbuds. If I looked at the ear buds on their own I think I would have been happier with the Amps. All in all the noise problem with the cords made these unusable for the reason I purchased them.

and very easy on your wallet

I have had these headphones for about 6 hours now... I know.. I know.. you have to break them in to get the best sound.. which is marginally true for serious hifi guy... but lets face it you're looking at a $28ish pair of ear buds not something you have to finance.. HOWEVER.. the sound I have gotten out of these so far has been to say the least impressive. I should have prefaced this by saying that I am a pair of earbuds' worst enemy.. The amount I use them should give me brain cancer within the next two weeks according to some studies... and the applications.. work (8 hours a day), biking, running, general sweating while in the sweltering southern heat... they get put through their paces... the point is I have gone through countless pairs of mid-range buds. Sennheisers, audiotechnica, klipsche, Philips.. all the mainstream brands at there mid-range level. But now I have gone to these SOLs. And let me tell you they are good. Better than any of the previously mentioned and cheaper with the exception of the Philips (those marshmellows were dern good though). I mostly listen to alternative and do a great job with the kick and toms. Mid range bass and grungy guitar are lively. The highs are crisp but a tiny bit too uh... animated.. if that makes sense.. they just don't seem as real as the highs a pair B&Ws will put out.. which I realize is a completely unrealistic comparison but its the best I got. I refuse to go into fit because it is so objective. You can pretty much sum of fit like this... Are your earholes smaller than that of a 1 year old? Yes? then they are no good.. Are they larger than what I perceive the size of Shaq's to be? Then they are no good. Actually they have some quite huge tips so you might still be good. Everyone in between....its a crap shoot. I would point out however that you have to have earholes otherwise they will not work.So why only four stars?I have an S4 and the buttons don't work right... the middle button brings up S-Voice and tells me about voicemails?? not quite sure what that's all about.. I really didn't expect them to work right for that though..I'll finish this review off by saying a good pair of buds can dramatically change your perception of a song. And if you are using your iphone headphones day in and day out these will certainly positively affect your listening experience. Trust me there are sounds you will hear with these that you wont with many comparable buds. Hope this helps... Listen on friends

good

I hate being tied to a charger so I prefer wired headphones. I've had more expensive brands like Beats but will never buy anything but Sol Jax for as long as they keep making them. The music is deep, call audio is clear... so is the mic.I lose headsets all the time, leaving them in planes, airports, hotels etc. These are great headsets and are relatively inexpensive.At PHX there's a store that sells them BOGO half off.
