These earbuds are advertised as working with all Kindle Fire models, and they did work well with my Fire.  But they also worked well with my iPod. I didn't want earbuds that would work with only one device but tried these anyway, and was quite pleased.The sound is terrific for this price range.  Clear, crisp, a good balance, and not distorted at high volumes.  My music sounds great but so do my audio books.  You can five bucks for a pair of earbuds at the corner store or you can spend hundreds if you are a true audiophile.  These are close to the cheap end, but perform much better.I love earbuds with a selection of different sized little rubbery pieces that fit on the speakers.  These are very comfortable.  Before I started getting the earbuds with this design, I couldn't listen very long before my ears hurt - those hard buds are just not comfortable and certainly don't fit my ears.  The rubbery ones look delicate but actually hold up very well.I would have preferred that the earbuds be marked with a "left" and  "right," but genius that I am, I figured out that the red one is the right one, easy to tell the difference on sight once you know that.  It is probably obvious to everyone else but I didn't know red = right.  The information that came with the buds didn't enlighten me either.I can still hear ambient noise when I use these at a moderate sound level, but it is greatly lessened and pretty much becomes just background white noise.The only thing I can't speak for is the quality of the microphone.  I have no use for a mic, and didn't test that aspect.  But just for listening, these fit the fill.
