Advantages: stay in your ear very well

Disadvantages: mine broke very quickly

I bought them 2 months ago almost to the day at HMV stores. They weren't cheap either about 15 pounds. But I thought I needed a good pair and as I move around a lot I need a small yet stable pair that will stay in my ears. As I looked around and asked which ones were recommended, these were the ones that were picked out.

They style is a twist in so this little bit of plastic which is connect to the ear plug rises and just fits under a flap in your skin which stays in extremely well when ever.

After about 3 days my ears felt slightly bruised. I think the twist in although very stable is often a bit too tight and if you are not used to use headphones can start off hurting.

I bought a very bright green colour which is very bright but was the only colour they had. I'm pretty sure you can get them in several other colours - as long as it is in stock.

The one of the ear plugs has a wire about twice as long as the other so that it can wrap around your head (at the back) and go into your ear. This allows a more comfortable sit in your ears as well as less strain on the chord itself.

I am really annoyed with them because I need to use tem everyday and to my dismay the y have broken after only a month!

The tip where it connects into my MP3 player has decided to come undone and the wire is not exposed. Although it still miraculously plays, the problem I have is that very shortly it will disable the music. Along with this, every time I take it out of the MP3 player, it feels like it is about to fall into 2 parts!

Summary: they are an ok price and the design works well
