According to my son, these would be perfect earbuds if they had soft covers, but they are so hard they hurt his ears. He loved that they fit an older basic phone that had his music on it, and that it had the volume control on the earbuds like iphone earbuds have. And the price couldn't be better. But it is not a good value if they are too uncomfortable to use. He went back to his old earbuds with the soft tips, with an adapter to let him plug into his phone.
