    all i can is wow... they cant even stay in my ears.
    i have tried all the size grips, and it always falls out on my left ear especially, and this is pathetic, for it to sound good enough for me, i need to get my hands and basically push them into my ear. these creative ear buds suck as bass, and let alone the horrid headphone jack noise. If i actually bought these earbuds id be pissed, i mean 50$ retail for what? POS! earbuds suck i wish it came packed with some nice seinhenser headphones that actaully COVER your ear. too bad i cant enjoy my logitech z5300e setup on my laptop the way it is. But anyway the notebook is very good, just not the "free" buds lol.

    Well you have to remember those in-ear earphones results differ a lot from person to person.

    I must say this is one of the few that I've tried that will actually STAY in my ear.

    But yeah, everyones ear(s) are different, so ymmv? lol

    It might be the shape of your ear. I know my brother can't wear ear buds at all because his ear is shaped differently.

    I actually already own a pair of these and was pleasantly suprised when I found out Dell was including a pair for free. These earphones work great for me and sound just fine. I have no problem with them staying in, sometimes I actually push them in a little to far and it kind of makes this suction noise when I pull them out, hence not being able to fall out on their own. They do vary person to person so they might not be right for you. Just like I cannot figure out how people get the ipod headphones and types like it to stay in their ears. Those practically fall out as soon as I place them in. Again, it varies.

    Maybe you just have "different" ears. Just go buy some headphones.

    well these earbuds, may sound "good" when i push them in my ear, and they do, but the fact is that im a bass lover, and it does not have enough, too much high-mid, and dont tell me to EQ it, becasue it is not a subwoofer! i want my guns loud, and my music to shake!!
