Advantages: Stylish, Look great with iPod.

Disadvantages: Bad quality build, Will fall apart within several weeks.

I received these headphones together with my iPod Touch which is the case with all iPods. I think that the purpose of these headphones is more of a fashion statement then being able to listening to your iPod. Now, at first, the sound is ok, it is listenable, however, after several weeks all hell will brake loose. The jack of the headphones is likely to split which, in the case of my first pair, could cause the wires to show and eventually come loose of the jack. If that does not happen, I'm afraid your still not in the clear; around the ear piece of the headphone, it is covered in a rubbery material, this sometimes splits, if this happens, ill give it a week before either all the rubber comes off making it extremely uncomfortable in your ear or the whole front of the earpiece falls off, exposing the wires and the actual speaker. This is then followed by the opposite earpiece and it ends up in the bin in several pieces.
So, to sum it up, use them until they start showing the first signs of wear and tear, after that, buy a descent pair off of amazon.

Summary: As they come with the iPod then make use of them, but dont buy them separately.
