Phillips HE592 Ear Buds


Since I bought my shuffle I wear ear buds at least 6 hours out of everyday; the Apple buds that come with the shuffle are ok, but they really start to become uncomfortable after hours of use. So I headed to bestbuy to try my luck at finding some comfortable looking earbuds at a comfortable looking price. After looking and looking and thinking and wondering and looking, I decided to give a try to the Phillips HE592 for $20.
Here is my quick review of the Phillips HE592. As soon as you put these in your ear you quickly forget they are there. Comfortable and stable they sit snug in your ear, and come with 2 sizes of plugs to ensure a good fit. Once I had the ear buds in I quickly noticed the cord; its short on the left side and long on the right side, instead of the usual "Y" cord I was used to. I still haven't figured out a good reason for this, but at least that's the only bad part of these buds. I soon forgot about the silly cord and pressed play. The sound quality is excellent, noticeably better than Apple's stock earbuds. I did read one review saying that the speaker output was seriously lacking in bass, but what kind of person wants there shoes to rumble from the bass of your earbuds. All and All, these get a 4 out of 5.
