Review: Classy take on the earbuds but...

I really wanted to like these.  There are some pros:  I love the wood earbuds.  The cord is not some cheap plastic wire(more like fabric wrapped and the plug is well reinforced which seems to be where alot of earbuds fail(the plug bends and eventually breaks down).Cons: I am only giving these three stars because I've been getting lots of humming and static when listening to music whether on my computer or iPod touch.  Despite the classy look and feel, ultimately, the sound quality and comfort are key.  These earbuds are not stand-out comfortable- they do come with varying sizes of buds.  The static makes the listening experience subpar at times and I've used cheaper, albeit less aesthetically pleasing that had better sound quality.  Ultimately, sound quality is paramount so I wouldn't really recommend but it is possible I just got a slightly defective pair.  Also these did not come with a case which I've found is important to protect them on-the-go.One nice quality is that they can be used with a cell phone.  Again, static is a little irritating and even when nothing is play(or I'm not talking on my phone with them), there is a slight background hum which could indicate interference.  All in all, these would not be my first choice for earbuds though I do like the design.
