Review: Wonderful Apple Alternative

Contrary to other reviewers, I don't have the bad luck with the standard Apple ear buds failing within a few months. My problem is that I lose them all the time! While that isn't Apple's fault, the lack of sound quality and the inevitable ear pain that follows wearing the hard little buds for any extended amount of time make Apple's standard buds less than awesome. All of these issues disappear with the Moshi Moonrock ear buds, even the losing part! The case isn't too bulky yet it's just big enough that the odds of me losing it in my constant travel to and from work, school and home are far less. The cord management that is built into the case is genius. Moshi isn't the first to design an case with cord management, but they are the first to do it right. I do not miss spending two minutes untangling my Apple ear buds every time I pull them out for use! More importantly, sound quality is fantastic and all the features I loved about the Apple buds are right here, including call management. They are also supremely comfortable. I don't miss the rock in my ear either! If I happen to fall asleep with these in (as is often the case) I don't wake with a horrible pain in my ear anymore! Yay! Although from a medical standpoint I shouldn't be watching Netflix on my iPad at bed time anyway, I still enjoy not waking up with ear pain! Overall I think these are a great buy. Apple's new ear buds may have some improvements, but as I haven't tried them and as my ears hate Apple, I decided to give them a pass and try these. So glad I did!
