First these headphones arent just for kindles, they work for iphones and mp3 players and yes kindles too. That being said they are pretty darn good. But at this price point, you can get 99% of the performance from much cheaper options, including ones from Moshi. And for about 10-30 more you can get much better headphones by some of the well known earphone brands. These arent bad. They have nice warm sounds with clear mids and decent bass. They dont get terribly loud but you will rarely feel the need to turn them up. The cords of avg thickness but arent particularly robust. The all around build quality is solid. They look pretty good with colored drivers under the translucent ear pieces, but after a while the ear pieces look pretty grimy. They do a more than adequate job isolating noise, which depending on your use could be a good or bad thing. The microphone only works ok, and if youre going to be using that feature in a noisy environment like a car I would invest in something higher end as I got complaints about people having trouble hearing me.All in all these are not bad headphones. But I would spend more money to get something a little higher end, or save the money and get some of Moshi's cheaper options that might not have the looks, but still have the sound.
