They stopped working almost immediately. There appears to be an electrical short in the microphone/track-skip/call-answer pod and the left channel cuts out intermittently. I would return these headphones, but it's not worth my time.

My first set quit working after a week, then the replacement set lasted slightly longer. I was pretty gentle with these- they were not durable at all. I'm curious to see how many people gave it good reviews for the sets to quit working soon after.

The earbuds themselves are made of plastic and look kind of cheap. The microphone and control button work fine, but the fabric cord makes a lot of noise in your ears when it brushes against your clothes. For $20 or less, these aren't too bad of an alternative to the Apple ones if you prefer an in-canal headset.

The sound quality is terrible. Anyone that says otherwise doesn't have ears. The treble is flat and the bass response is nonexistent.

I would have felt cheated if I had bought them when they were $30+ though. Bass is very muddy, mids and highs are ok. Noise isolation isn't very good and noise from the lanyard/cord is quite annoying unless sitting very still.

So I call amazon and they send me another one right away, fast forward 2.5 weeks later, same problem as before. The amazon representative who spoke to me the first time said that "if they experience the same problem again, then we might take the item off our site and investigate the item." I'm guessing the other positive reviews are either lucky, or they reviewed too quickly after receiving the headsets.

If you are planning to listen to music(duh) on these and not just answer the phone then _do not buy these_ The earphones have the bass(base) response of a flying mosquito. I made the mistake of buying these because they are only affordable phones+microfone for iPhone.

I hate you Rivet Stereo Headset (iPhone Compatible) headphones, I hate you so much. I cannot possibly fathom how so many people could write so many positive things about a product that fails to meet even my most basic expectations.

I've had bad experiences with headphones and since then, I take care of my headphones like no one else. I loved the headphones, but two weeks of intense work proved to be too much for these. First the mic, then the left earbud, my headphones literally imploded.

*horrible bass(base) response. *overall the earphones feel like they play saturate at 500Hz and below. I have swapped the $29 Sony phones during play and the difference was clearly detectable.

The cable is a lanyard style, which means it goes over your head and the buds go up to your ears from behind. This means that even if a bud falls out, they will stay around your head.

I bought these mainly because they were cheap and the Apple pack-ins don't stay in my ear. Being in-canal earphones, they do provide some sound isolation and the laynard design is a good idea. However, the sound they provide is no better than the standard Apple earphones and they provide little bass.

I rushed to my office's mail distribution center daily. With baited breath I searched through the newly delivered parcels, hoping upon hope that my name would be among the chosen few destined to receive UPS's good graces. Even after the tracking results page said "lost by carrier" I didn't loose hope.

i loved it for the first 3 days that it worked. decent sound, nice design. but here i am on day 4, and the sound just went out in 1 ear.

Fast forward 3.5 weeks after receiving my headphones, the button and mic no longer respond. No audio on my side, though I can hear everything from the phone.

It is not difficult to figure out how to wear this headset properly.

I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that these type of earphones always pick up other sounds as the wires bounce while you're running. But it's a small price to pay for earphones that stay in your ear, unlike the iPhone earphones. I like the way it hangs around the neck.

They are left in convenient place for a geek like me to return to listening.

I implore you, do not make the same mistake I did.

I am giving it only 4 stars because the first set a received had a faulty answer-call button.

the cord seems to have a short in it near the pause button so sometimes I get sound out of the left earpiece, sometimes I don't!
