Yurbuds Inspire Pro Purple

Love, love, love these headphones. I have tried a whole heap of headphones, in various brands and price ranges, and have never found a pair that I like better than these. I have small ears, and always found that traditional earbuds were uncomfortable. These are incredibly comfortable, and come with two sizes of rubber "gloves" for the buds. The sound quality is awesome, both for playback and via the microphone. The optional little clip that comes with it is one of the handiest things ever -- clip it to my shirt (or my work badge) and not have to worry about jostling the headphones out of my ears. They really do stay in amazingly well, and you will forget that you have them on.Keep in mind, though, that they are athletic headphones and so designed not to mask background noise. (Think of it as runner safety -- even with the volume up high, you could hear a car horn.) Personally, that is a major selling point to me -- I do not like the isolation that comes of wearing headphones that block out the rest of the world. However, if you are looking for a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, these probably aren't for you.EDIT 8/2/16: I replaced my worn out set of Yurbuds with a newer model, and I'm happy with them - but not as happy as I expected. There are two significant changes. The clip which was present in older models is not included with these. I get around that by using a small binder clip just below the microphone to secure the headphones to my blouse. The second is the addition of magnets in the back of each earbud, so that they 'snap' together (or onto anything metal) in an attempt to prevent tangling. I haven't seen them prevent much tangling, but it does mean that I can let the magnet on one headphone attach to the binder clip I've jury rigged and know I'm not going to pull it out. The magnets are a good improvement; the lack of clip is not. If you already loved these headphones for the fit of them, the newer model is A-OK.

The item came in the original packaging which was disgustingly dirty, old, had signs of water damage and the box was ripped in multiple places. The product itself was sticky to the touch. I am being forced to physically go to the post office to return the item and pay for shipping.

I like these ear-buds for the simple fact that they do what they are supposed to do. These are one set of my two favorite ear-buds. I use these when I am jogging on the road or outside so that I can hear ambient noise such as cars. My other set I use at home or in the gym because they block out all noise.The lock feature really stays in place as long as you use the correct size of rubber tips that are provided. They are really comfortable and I hardly even think about them when I'm exercising.Sound quality is good, but as they are designed, you do hear ambient noise.They come with a soft side carrying case.I have had telephone calls while I'm jogging and the person on the other side could hear fine!Positives:+ Awesome colors!+ Ear size options+ controller with microphone+ Ear lock tech+ Carrying case+ DesignNegatives:- None :)Overall I love this set! I will be using these for a long time :)

I love the fit of the earbuds. They are the only buds I've found that actually stay in my ears and are actually comfortable to wear. The sound quality is good. I am not a music aficionados so my standards aren't super high on this point. I've found them to work well with music and audiobooks. They are not noise canceling, so they are suitable for use in environments where it is necessary to hear outside sounds. The outside sounds however are muted enough that they don't interfere with your listening pleasure. The central locations of the controls is perfect. The y shaped controls fall to the sternum and are accessible by either hand and can be seen when the buds are in your ears. The downfall of these earbuds is, as other reviewers stated, is that the durability is lacking. I use mine for listening at the office. I am generally not running around with them. I just purchased my 3rd pair as one of the speakers eventually dies. The cord connections to the plug weaken, if you give it a wiggle sound will jump in and out of the speaker. I got 1 year out of the first set, and 6 months out of the second. I can't say this issue is limited to Yerbuds or this model. This issue has plagued wired headphones since the beginning of time. The only brand I haven't ever had this happen to is Apple, but they never stay in my ears. I would recommend them, but caution that you be prepared to buy a few sets a year.

I bought these earbuds with the idea that I'd gave them a long time. They were $60 and had everything I wanted, no slip covers, a microphone with volume control and pause abilities and the company offered a lifetime warranty which was great for me because electronic devices and me don't quite get along. They were perfect, lightweight and fit great in my ear. Then after less than a month the left earbud stopped producing sound. The wires are not loose, nothing is detached or broken, just no sound coming out of the left ear. I contacted the company and since I purchased them off of Amazon there was nothing they would do for me, the lifetime warranty was null and void. These are very expensive earbuds and I am very upset that they're not working anymore. I have since moved the rubber pieces that fir over the buds to the ones that came with my iPod, they fit and now I have sound in both ears.If I were looking into buying these I wouldn't. I will not be purchasing them again. I would only buy the replacement rubber pieces for a lot less and use them on the free ones given with any iPod product. I'm very disappointed that these didn't work as I was really happy with them before they broke. Buy at your own risk, I wouldn't take the chance for a months worth of use for $60, that's $2 a day!
