Good Value at This Price Point,
While these JBUDS did not, in a side by side comparison, provide as much surrounding, warm sound as my Sennheiser 212 headphones, they provided excellent clarity, especially on KJAZZ radio. Talk formats are also excellent. The comfort is surprisingly good for an in-ear bud. For 20 dollars, this is a great substitute for the cheaper buds that come with most MP3 players.
Update on 12-21-06: I’ve come to be more impressed with my JBuds over the last two weeks, marvelling at the bright, crisp, and yes, warm sound that comes out of these inexpensive buds. Perhaps, as I’ve read in some of the headphone information that is out there, that there is a “breaking in” period, which has something to do with loosening the tranducer. In any event, I’d have to give these JBuds another star.
Second Update 10-8-07: My only complaint about the JBuds is that sleeping with them at night I will sometimes wake up and the bud will have fallen off. I can’t secure the buds to my satisfaction; however, the JBuds are so comfortable I deal with this problem.
Third Update 1-7-08: The sound is not quite as good as the slightly more expensive V-Moda; however, the JBuds are easier on my ears for long-term (I sleep with them on) listening. Also the JBuds have a longer extension and don’t pull out of the radio or iPod headphone jack as easily as the V-Modas, so again on balance the JBuds are better.

|like ‘em a lot,
I bought these headphones to replace my Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones. I like these better for one two reasons
1) completely superficial reason – it matches my black ipod
2) completely non superficial reason – it’s better for my hearing
I typcially keep the sound on my ipod locked at 75% to minimize damage to my ears. With these JBuds I don’t have to take that precaution, because I never have to raise the volume up that high. And I listen to my ipod chiefly going back and forth on the subway in D.C., where it can be pretty difficult to block out the sound of the train. I’m really glad I bought them.
Two words of caution, however. First, I don’t think the sound is as good as it was with the Sony headphones. I listen mostly to podcasts and audiobooks, though, so it doesn’t affect me much. Also, I’m not an audiophile so my standards aren’t that high. Secondly, I’ve gone through 3 pairs of these types of headphones due to the rubber tips falling off. While I prefer these type of headphones to other in-ear phones (I’ve got small ears, and other types hurt), this is getting pretty aggravating. So electronic companies? Work on that.

|Wonderful – best $20 headphones you can buy,
Awesome headphones. I love these guys and have been using them for about 6 months now. Their sound is impeccable, and are extremely comfortable, I wear them while studying I mean like 8-10 hours a day, and never really notice them. I wouldn’t say that these are actually noise cancelling via electrical interference, its more via sound muffling than anything, but don’t misinterpret, with the sound at a medium volume you will kill all but the loudest ambient noise. I highly recommend these. Flat out the best $20 I have EVER spent.

|A great idea with some limitations,
I have done a review for the Wi-Drive app for the iOS and luckily they both work the same. Just load up data, pictures, music, or videos onto the Wi-drive and turn it on. It is now a wireless access point that can be connected to using the Kindle Fire or any other wireless device. Also, up to three people can be on it at once accessing the same data. I cannot try this but Kingston claims this (or something similar). I have not had an issue with the wireless range of the Wi-Drive either. I have been able to have the Wi-Drive on the opposite side of the house and still be able to access it quickly. The Wi-Drive for the Fire opens up many more options because it addresses the Fire’s small capacity.
Honestly, I never used the Wi-Drive much with my 16GB iPhone but it is a great idea for the Kindle Fire. It is very simple to navigate and it is pretty self-explanatory. Kingston did a great job with the app and the Wi-drive. It loads up photos,
Unfortunately, I cannot give the app 5 stars. Not because it is Kingston’s fault, it is just because the Fire has some limiting video formats. It cannot play even the simplest video formats such as .wmv or .avi. Practically every video on my computer was formatted in .avi and while the format is very old it is still a solid one. I had a lot of trouble playing videos on the Fire through the Wi-drive and this has turned out to be my biggest problem with the app. I have not tried to put videos on the Fire itself, however that defeats the purpose of the Wi-drive considering videos can be rather large. To put large videos on the Fire’s small 8GB, along with one’s music, apps, or pictures can be make storage run out rather quickly. It isn’t that hard to manage the space but it is something to keep an eye on.
Overall, I am satisfied with the Fire and the Wi-Drive app itself. It gets the job done for the most part. I wish the Fire could play more formats but that’s a job for Amazon. Both are great products! I highly recommend the Fire as well as the Wi-Drive for those who want a tablet and want a little bit of extra space.
If anyone has questions feel free to ask! Here is a link to the Wi-Drive if anyone is interested.
