Review: Great With Some Minor Issues

These headphones are overall great with a couple things that could be improved. First off (and this may be more of an Amazon problem than a Moshi problem) these are billed as Kindle Fire HD headphones however none of the colors actually match up with the official Kindle case colors. My Kindle cover is labeled persimmon and the crimson Moshi headphones looked like they would match. However when the headphones arrived the colors did not match although of the six colors available they are probably the closest ones to a match. This was mildly annoying, because had I known this I would have just ordered the black headphones. The reason I say this might be an Amazon problem is that the outer box did not reference the Kindle Fire except in one spot where a label appeared to have been taped on. So it's possible that these weren't really meant specifically for the Fire HD and for more generic usage and Amazon commandeered them for the purpose and slapped the extra label on.These headphones come with 3 different sets of earbuds. The ones already attached to the headphones fit great so I didn't have to swap them out for either of the other two sizes. With the default earbuds these headphones were very comfortable for me and the sound was terrific. That's the most important thing - you can't hear color!I did wonder at first which earbud went into the left vs. right ear. After using them the first time and taking them off I finally noticed an L on the left one and an R on the right one. These small letters are hard to see and will probably wear off eventually. The earbuds themselves have a small ring of color - the right being different from the left, so that helps too once you memorize what color goes in which ear (white band for the left on the default configuration).There was a small manual in several languages that gave some of the basics for the headphones like information on clicking the mic to achieve certain functions on your iPod. It would have been nice had they mentioned how to change the earbuds and pointed out there were markings indicating which was the left and right bud.So over all great sound, great fit with a few minor issues that could have been improved (color, left/right labeling and manual).
