 Good Sound and Comfort From Earhugger's Wrap Arounds January 14, 2007
For the past two weeks or so I've been testing out the Philips SHS3200 clip earbuds. The verdict was: return. They were very, very uncomfortable, even if the sound was great it doesn't matter if you can't actually use the headphones. Which means I had to revert ot my Sony pair for a couple of days.
I found these on big discount for only...three dollars. I needed this pair pretty desperately, or at least it would suffice until I found something I'd want at a major retailer. The only other time I've bought from Earhugger would be the EH710 over the head headphones which I also rated 4 stars, but someone begged me for those, so I gave them away. They sounded nice and were comfortable and I also remember getting them on discount.
For these, I wasn't expecting much, just something that sounds OK and fits well. Which actually IS what you get, except the sound is a bit better than ok. These are the clip earbuds, much like the popular Sony h.ear. They are usual earbuds but have a clip that goes around your ear for more comfort and a more stable fit. That's really all you get, but for three dollars how on earth can you expect extras? It also has a long five foot cord so it won't be awkward walking with these with your iPod or so on in your pocket. I've also noticed that the hook is detachable, so if you just want the buds then you can have that.
For sound quality, these don't sound amazing but sound good, especially because for the price I thought these were gonna flat out suck but they're actually pretty darn good. They don't have fantastic deep bass, but they do have a full bass for what they have, making them sound full and rich. Mids sounded good, not overpowering nor are the mids lacking, maybe a bit much in the 200-500k range, but it's not at all bad. These don't have an amazingly clear sound if that's what you're looking for, these did lack in treble a little bit, but again for the price I can't expect stellar sound. I put these on a little music test, and they sounded good on my iPod and CD player but pretty average on iTunes unless I tweaked the equalizer a bit. On my stereo system they sounded fine but best when playing a CD. They sounded good on most of my music collection, and sounded really good on hip-hop, R&B, dance, spoken word, and light rock. When I turned on hard rock or hard hitting rap it sounded kinda tinny, but were still listenable. I turned on the bass boost on iTunes and my other protable audio sources and handled all and sounded fine, but at higher volumes (more than 80% volume) things started to disort or sound tinny. Overall, not amazing sound, pretty good bass and average elsewhere.
These are some darn comfortable headphones to me. When I put them on I did get a good fit automatically but for those who've never tried these types of earbuds before might feel slight discomfort the first week of use or at least it'll feel weird. Just know that if they're uncomfortable from the box you should give them at least two weeks before returning.
Something else you should know is that these come with a lifetime warranty! Well, of course there's a catch. You have to send in five dollars for shipping. Relly there's not much worth of the warranty since I found them for three dollars, but if you paid more than five dollars it's probably a good idea to keep the packaging and receipt around.
As I said, I only paid three dollars for these at Big Lots, and chances are that's the best price around. For the price you are going to get a comfortable set of clip-buds that'll sound decent and last at least a couple of months, maybe more if you're gentle or using these at home. You'll probably find these from three to eight dollars, paying more for that is a rip-off since you can probably find something better or something with extra bells and whistles like volume control or waterproof features.
Overall, not a bad set of headphones. They don't have the same sound as headphones that are more than ten dollars but are comfortable and sound good enough for the price. Good sound, comfortable, and inexpensive, check them out! 4 stars.
And in response to earlier review, these don't have a volume control.
 Um, bad? December 21, 2006
Poor quality little buds. I just bought them for the rubber "earhugger" piece to be used with other phones.
 inline volume control is flakey August 29, 2005
The inline volume control does not work, moving the volume control slider can change the volume to go up, down, then one ear, then the other, etc. Very flakey. I purchased another one thinking it was just a problem with the one I bought, and sure enough the same problem. Not worth the grief. I had one of these for a year and it worked well and when I lost it I tried to buy the same thing, but even though the part number was the same as the old one, it was a different unit (different length wires, volume control in different spot). Unfortunately they must be using a new supplier.

If your looking for headphones to listen to your media, without the hassle of a wraparound attachment or without gravity constantly taking charge from your auditory canal. Then this it. Sure you do not get astonishingly great bass, but you can move freely without a concern, knowing the things will stay on. Honestly you can almost completely forget your wearing'em.Later all.......
Good quality for the price February 7, 2001

I was hesitant to purchase the Ear Huggers after reading other buyers' reviews, but I definately have to say that I am satisfied. I wear glasses and the Ear Huggers work fine with them, and stay in place really well. The sound quality isn't excellant but is no worse than any other portable headphones. They're definately a good deal for the price.
