I waited a while before writing this review to make sure I was not actingrashly. I've had these headphones for about a month now, to use with my NokiaE61, which has a very nice music player.They are without a doubt the worst headphones of any kind that I have evertried to use.As the other reviews say, the earbuds are strangely large. They are so largethat they will not stay in my ears. I am confident that they would not evenstay in the ears of George "The Animal" Steel, even with all the hair in thereto provide extra grip.They barely stay in when I'm standing still. If I do anything radical like nod,yawn, swallow, or turn my head 45 degrees, they are almost guaranteed to fallout. If they don't quite fall out, they nonetheless require readjustment. I ama 6' 2" (maybe 3") guy and do not have dainty ears as much as I might like to.I've never had this problem with any kind of ear device before, ever.The stiff cord does not help this situation. The cord is extremely heavy andthick. It's also totally bizarre looking, which is mighty strange for somethinglabeled a "fashion" headset. It's possible that it might be fashionable 20,000leagues under the sea, accessorized with a fishbowl for your head.I was willing to give the cord texture a chance, because its stiffness helps itnot get tangled if you have a tendency to shove them in a bag or pocket withoutcoiling them. However, it turns out to be totally annoying. You're guaranteedto flinch whenever its snaky scaliness touches your skin. It's rigidity meansit's hard to hide the cord. It will always be sticking out in a loop away fromyour neck or waist somewhere. This is not only unattractive, it makes it kindof dangerous for getting caught on doorknobs and unsuspecting small childrenwhen you are walking around.They sound terrible. There is crackling and a general lack of body to thesound. I'm not an audiophile but I know enough to know that I've heard bettersound come out of the free headphones you get on airplanes. It's not my phone.I get a better sound from the phone's loudspeaker, but unfortunately peoplegive me funny looks on the train when I turn that on. I could, however, put upwith the sound quality if the other shortcomings did not traumatize me so.I have never even tried to use the microphone. I also don't understand how youare supposed to use it. On me (height previously mentioned), the microphonehangs at around my sternum. I don't think they can hear me down there, and Idon't see any way to adjust where the microphone is on the cord. This meansthat in order to talk, you will have to hold the microphone up to your mouth.This moving of the cord will cause both headphones to fall out. Rinse andrepeat.I don't know what I'm going to do now. There are not many options available forthe Nokia pop port in the way of stereo headphones that have a phone mic. Iguess I'll try the over-the-ears ones next.I'm a fan of Nokia products in general but this is inexcusable.
