User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars good sound, decent comfort, questionable durability
sound: great for a $20 headset. Better than stock earbuds
comfort: ok. They get a little tiresome after an hour or two in my ears. They fit pretty well, though lying down they tend to fall out.
durability: only recently got these, but the cable sheath looks pretty chintzy. Luckily, these babies have a lifetime warranty, so it really shouldn’t matter too much.
4 Stars A great value
Finding ear bud type headphones that are a value and of some quallity seems harder and harder, as the “in ear” craze goes. I personally cant enjoy those, they always fall out of my ears, and it always sounds like im underwater.
These on the other hand are great headphones. The sound is good, they are stylish, they come with a headphone cord extender (which could run you 10-15 on its on on some sites), as well as a case, which i doubt i’ll ever use but hey, its free. The one down side would be that they are a tad bit heavier due to the fact that they are made out of metal, not plastic painted to look like metal. The cord also seems a bit cheap, but overall, if these last me 6 months (2 months perfect so far) i will have gotten my 20 bucks worth.
1 Star Ouch!… hey this song is cool!… Ouch!
Eeeee… Kindda-ok. But naaa… shouldn’t recommend them.
Ever wanted to look cool but be hurting and pretend like your just feeling suave?
Well these earphones do exactly that. You’ll look cool but your ears will hurt like if you’d be wearing new shinny shoes 2 sizes smaller than your feet.
Could they have not put a little cushion to these very heavy earphones?
I mean, so you don’t have to feel like “metal tubes” are sticking and hanging out of your ears.
Although the sound is ok; I don’t think the engineers had any “comfort factor” considered in the equation. The ear pieces are very hard and heavy (dudes it’s just hard metal all around.) That black ring you see in the picture is super hard rubber heck it could almost be ceramic for all I care, and your ears don’t appreciate the intruding material in your outer ear canal.
I just wouldn’t recommend them… Wait! You can put duct tape around the black ring for a little extra comfort! AND it would look even cooler!
3 Stars Tough design, weak performance
These metal alloy earphones look unique and help you to stand out from the crowd. However, they are no better than the Coby earphones that came with my player. The stems are very thin and slippery making it unnatural feeling when trying to put them on. Once you get them on you will be startled by the chilly sensation from the metal (depending on the ambient temperature of course). Sound quality is on the low side and thin sounding. Bass was not warm or punchy, and highs not soaring and sparkling. An unfortunate example of form over function.
2 Stars Fell apart
The sound and fit are fine and I do like the cable length. However, after four months the left bud fell apart. The rubber gasket came loose then finally fell off and I can’t get it to stay on. Sure, I can replace them because of the warranty but do I really want to bother with another of these? I’m going back to the Apple buds.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great for travel
I bought this case because I can prop up my Zune 120GB to watch movies while in flight. It works great. Great quality and construction.
5 Stars Good Case, worth the money.
This case works great and the kick stand feature is nice. It looks good to and seems to protect my zune well.
5 Stars very nice Zune case
I had been looking for a protective case in stores for a while when I found this one, since there aren’t a ton of products for the Zune like Ipod. I was pleasantly surprised–this is a nice case, much better than the ones I’ve seen in stores. The case fits the Zune just right and the leather is very smooth. I was very disappointed with the last media player case I bought from Amazon (for a Creative Zen player), which was total crap. However, this case is well worth the purchase price.
4 Stars Nice case, one big flaw
Incipio Z-127 Leather Kickstand Case for Zune 80 GB (Black)
This is the first case I’ve purchased for my 80GB Zune.
Pros:
1. Nice looking black leather case.
2. Plastic insert protects the display.
3. Kickstand flap is a nice option for viewing the Zune video display without having to hold the device.
4. Easy access to all the Zune controls and inputs.
5. Two leather strips at the bottom of the case to hold the Zune in, if you are holding the case straight up
Big Con: This case has an open slot for sliding the Zune into. Although the case fits the Zune well, it’s not quite snug enough. I was holding my case/Zune the other day with what I thought was a decent grip, but the Zune flung out of this opening. The top of my Zune is now scratched from hitting the floor (someone hand me a tissue). This case would have been perfect if Incipio had added an elastic strip or some sort of catch on this opening as a safety to keep the Zune from flinging out.
4 Stars Case for Zune 80/120 GB
This is a good quality leather case. The Zune screen is protected with a clear plastic cover & the buttons are exposed. The case is configured so that it can be folded & propped up to watch video horizontally with Zune laying on its side. The only thing I wish they’d improved upon: be careful when removing the headphone or the Zune will be pulled out of the case. All in all, a quality product.
