Headphone Reviews

Summary
Steve Guttenberg may still be right: millions and millions of people have heard their iDevices through these ear-buds, and while they may be the best ear-bud out there, it's still pretty mediocre sound quality.

At least Apple tried very hard to make it as good as they could. They could have just made yet another piece of junk throwaway ear-bud, but instead they gave it their best shot. They spent good money improving these little 'buds over the years so they could give them away with pride. It took the vision to know that even though they were cheap, throwaway cans, it would be the first thing the customer heard with their new iGadget, and it was worth investing in that user experience. No MBA-run company would do such a thing.

Yet another legacy of Mr. Jobs: At the end of those little white wires may be the world's best ear-bud.

My vote for the world's worst audio product that millions have heard?

The Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Solo at $199. Available friggen everywhere. In my mind a shameful sham foisted upon gullible consumers. People paying good money for high-fidelity and, in my opinion, getting worse sound than the Apple ear-bud.

At ten times the price!

Shameful!

'Nuf of that. Here's the video.
