Buy AirBuds The Most Comfortable Earbuds All Day Comfort with TrueFit Memory Foam Tips | in Ear Headphones Includes Smart Microphone: Earbud Headphones - desertcart.com ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases Review: a good option - I really like these... the flat wires DO help them not to tangle... Has a "universal" tip as most things do this day and age... worked with my brand new LG G4 cell, my old rotary dial IPOD and my Kindle 8" HDX. It comes with 4 (2 sets) of extra ear cushions. I feel that I have smallerish ears and I have a hard time finding earpods that are comfortable and will stay in. These work great. Comfortable and they have stayed in. Mind you, I am NOT jogging with them in. I only wish they'd come with a zipper case to hold them in for convenience. At the price point, you'd think they would. It does also have a microphone and I have "tested" that... worked. It has a little attachable pinch clip to keep in place as you move around. The foam tips are sort of like memory foam, but almost a bit softer really. I think this both helps them stay in AND retain comfort. The sound is very clean and clear - for an adult anyway. The tips are cornflower blue if that matters to anyone... I think the pic is very clear and representative. I will update if there are any issues. UPDATE: 6/29/2015 I have used these earbuds a number of times... one of the issues I have had in the past is that this "shape" of earbud doesn't want to stay in my ear... (tiny ears?) but these DO stay in.. I think it's the type of foam tip... seems to grip a bit better? To be fair, again, I am not jogging with them in... I am mostly in a sitting position using them. The "flat" wires really do help them not get all tangled... having stay that.. they also resist "wrapping" a bit too. This is probably good. Otherwise you'd break the wires inside. The kiss of death to any wired accessory. Also, I've been informed that these are going to start coming with carry cases!! Yup. That would make them 5 star in my humble opinion and I'm keeping them in my "save" pile for a possible second order. UPDATE 7/26/2015... Still happy with my purchase. I am informed by the seller that they are now including a case. This makes it definitely a 5-star value and worthy of a purchase. Will update if there any use/wear issues to report Review: They don't last - I find these earbuds more comfortable than any others I've tried. My first pair died in a year. I thought that wasn't great but was ok so after finding that the beats didn't work for me for even an hour I bought a second pair of these AirBuds. But this second pair has stopped working after 6 months. Maybe for $20 but not for $40. I can't believe I bought a third pair that lasted weeks--but I thought the problem was my phone--the audio would skip or stop--but then one ear stopped working and I finally checked with another headphone set and the phone was fine. These earbuds are very badly made.

They don't last
I find these earbuds more comfortable than any others I've tried. My first pair died in a year. I thought that wasn't great but was ok so after finding that the beats didn't work for me for even an hour I bought a second pair of these AirBuds. But this second pair has stopped working after 6 months. Maybe for $20 but not for $40.

I so wanted to find comfort...
I wouldn't say this is a horrible product, just very uncompatible with my ears. I so wanted to love it since I am perpetually trying to find the best and most comfortable set of earbuds for my ridiculously small ears. Had high hopes, with the reviews, so I took them out of the packaging, squeezed the "comfort foam" into my ear canals and within 5 minutes, my ears are super sore. Sound quality was decent, but the pain was just too distracting to enjoy. Also, I know it's not advertised, but not having a volume control on a smart mic was disappointing. Again, may not be the same experience for others, but for all the other wearers with smaller ear canals, definitely would not recommend. Going back to my "fruit company" earbuds.

Great for Sensitive Ears!
I have extremely sensitive ears. I've never been able to wear earbuds more than 10 minutes without significant pain. Mostly, I avoid these little torture devices, but I really wanted some for when I take my work to a coffee shop for a change of scenery. The scenery I like. The noise can be distracting, and headphones are bulky to carry around. So... earbuds. I searched specifically for comfortable earbuds and these babies were consistently the most popular for that distinction. I just got them today, so I can't speak for their durability, which I've heard isn't the best, but as far as comfort is concerned, they are head and shoulders above anything else I've ever tried. They're not perfect, of course. I wasn't expecting that. If you've ever worn those cheap earplugs that you squish, then let expand back inside your ear, they feel basically like that. There's no hard pressure against the ear that makes them ache. Just a soft pressure that makes them a little uncomfortable after a while. The sound quality is also really good. I'm no authority on audio anything, but from my layman's perspective, they sound really good. Better than the speakers in my laptop. They also come with a built in mic, which is nice, and a clip to keep the cords from dangling and wiggling so much, which is very bad for sensitive ears. Overall, I got exactly what I was hoping for. With regard to their reported fragility, I plan to be very careful with them. If they last me a year, I'll consider them well worth the price and buy another pair. If they break right away, I'll update this review.
