I somehow forgot my Apple earbuds for a flight, and luckily had these in my gear bag.
I plugged them into an old iPod nano that someone had given to me. I thought that there was some kind of problem with the iPod .... it sounded distorted and tinny. Yet I listened to them for the whole first leg of the trip.
Not impressed.
I have these to give away now - in case someone else forgot - and this is better than nothing.
I will give them more of a test soon. I purchased 3 and maybe that first one is different.
CaddyWhompnope - i have not opened them up .... I want to just give them away as new and fresh to someone who needs them at some time.
are you recommending opening them up?
