Input:
I purchased my first set of these earbuds after reading the positive reviews and i also was looking for something that would be more comfortable than the earbuds i had.  They fit well and were comfortable in my ear and i also liked the sound - however, one earbud quit working altogether after just over a month.  I figured it was just an isolated issue, and returned them and ordered a second pair.  After just over a month, the same thing happened again - one earbud quit working altogether.  I was careful in handling them and used them while working out at the gym or walking for exercise.  I do not recommend this product - it is a huge rip-off.

A: very positive

C: neutral
