I bought these when my Sennheiser Cx300s died in one ear, and I am very pleased with them. I purchased them based on fact that they were the highest rated earphones, and very reasonably priced as well. I searched the reviews of them on the internet to see if anything contradicted the ratings and of course I found nothing. The eco thing is fine and all, but wasn’t a concern of mine, although as a result the packaging is far easier to deal with than the regular way-overdone plastic cages.Fit and sound- they stay in my ears quite easily, especially with the recommended Comply foam tips. I use them with a Zen 16GB XFi MP3 player. They definitely have a ’sound’-what doesn’t- but is it one that I like. I would describe it as more musical than clinical. If anything, vocals and guitars are highlighted. Bass is there, but not too much. Lots of detail is revealed, much more so than one could reasonably expect for the price.As for the noise isolation, with the supplied tips, it isn’t that
Any Suggestions? I need some feedback on this. Plz Read.?
I just want suggestions on where this should go from here. I want this story to be an occult one. It is set in modern day and this is only the first Wooden Jukebox paragraph. The room was dark and noisy. The only light came from cheap bulbs above the small wooden tables. It smelled like cheap perfume, sweat, and beer. There was laughter and yelling over the jukebox in the corner. Someone watching. Eyes in the dark. A corner booth where the light was broken from a previous bar fight. The ice blue eyes burned with hunger. He was out for blood.

I bought these headphones because I wanted something new. They are made of wood and the picture doesn’t do them justice. They are built strong, they sound perfectly balanced and they just look wonderful. This new company will be around for a long time. I am only buying thinksound headphone from now on!
Overall, I am very happy with the sound quality for the price paid. At the same time, I had also bought a pair of Rain black/choc. Somehow, the black earbuds feel softer, more comfortable and sealed my ear canal better, thus providing better sound isolation than the silver/cherry units.
I had been searching for a decent IEM to upgrade to from my old Sennheiser CX 300’s for a while when I stumbled upon the Thinksound Rains. I read excellent reviews about the Rains on several headphone forums, and after comparing them to other potential candidates, I decided to go with the Rains because the reviews said they balanced great sound quality with beautiful design and an eco-friendly production process. I was not disappointed. The Rains are crisp and well balanced. Some may say they do not have enough bass, but I think they have just enough. I did initially have a problem with getting one of the buds to seal in my ear, which was troubling since the whole point of an IEM is to achieve a proper seal in the ear to ensure good isolation and sound quality. I posted on a forum asking for help and Thinksound’s president immediately responded by emailing me with the quick solution to my problem. Thinksound has a wonderful product, personal customer service, and a great business model. Give these a try.
I’ve been searching for a set of ear buds to replace those awful OEM ipod buds. The 9mm Rain buds intrigued me as I needed something smaller than the ipod buds and I listen to a lot of music with horns and high ends. I’ve owned them for better than 2 weeks now and riding the tube to work has never been more enjoyable. I recommend these buds to people that have had comfort issues with the ipod buds and are looking for excellent performance and value. Very impressed with this product.
This case is lovely, but I am rather clumsy (hence the case) and dropped it once and broke it. I used wood glue to fix it, no problem. I dropped it again about 3 months later and it broke beyond repair. So if you’re the classy I-don’t-drop-my-phone person, this is a great case, sure to get you lots of comments. If you’re the other type- this is not really worth the investment.
This one fits my ipod touch perfectly.
I like the feel of real wood and it looks not bad at all for the price.
I definitely recommend this product!
I really liked the look of this case. However, my case cracked right out of the box while inserting my iPod and the left side broke off.
Neville is one of four new engines to appear in the latest series of “Thomas and Friends.” He is a big black tender engine with a square-shaped boiler and few words to say. Though he is a “steamie” he is often mistaken for a diesel, and this makes him the victim of bullying and teasing. But he never holds a grudge, and doesn’t let it affect him.
With his distinctive appearance, Neville is a perfect addition to any LC Thomas collection. He could also be a role model to children who are teased because of their appearance. This is definitely worth having.
Neville is one of Thomas’ new friends featured in Season 9 and “Tales from the Tracks” video and DVD. Neville is a steamie who almost looks like a diesel. When he first arrived, Thomas saw ‘Arry and Bert tease him and thought he was friends with them. Later, rumors spread around the yard that Neville was a bad engine who was plotting and scheming with the diesels! Neville sees the engines run away from him. Thomas tells him that he is bad and Neville heads toward a broken bridge. Thomas saves Neville and learns he wasn’t a bad engine after all! As seen in the story “Thomas and the New Engine”
Okay I’m not an audiophile, but I love music. These deliver. I love the feel and the look of these ear buds. The cable is sort of noisy but not enough to complain about. I tried the different tips to hear the sound difference and the bass is awesome with the larger tips. Great buy.
I bought these because they were the highest rated earbuds on amazon, and I am thoroughly disappointed.
The final reason I am going to return them is that the connector is badly wired or something, and minor movements of the cord causes the left channel to cut out intermittently. Needless to say, this is unacceptable.
Before this problem started happening, which was about a week after they were delivered, I thought the sound quality was mediocre at best. The midrange is above average, but the bass can be a bit overpowering and the high-end is severely lacking. If I had paid $10 for these earbuds, I would say the sound quality was fine, but they aren’t worth what I paid. They are certainly not the wonderful-sounding earbuds that all the other reviews led me to believe.
Lets get right to it!
Pros…
Beautiful.
Light.
Comfortable.
Inexpensive.
Wonderful sound quality.
Great packaging that won’t draw blood.
Passive sound isolation, they will block out most sounds but you will still hear the stuff you will want to hear like horns while crossing the street.
Cons…
Bass is indeed a bit weak.
Wires are very thin, i worry that one unfortunate accident and the wire will break.
The reviews on here are pretty accurate, so if they sound like your cup of tea then go for it. Much better then $20 Skull Candies and i truly mean MUCH better. As good/better then some $100 buds i have owned. Hip Hop music sounds great, the Bass might not be overwhelming like some would like but it is still very good. Coldplay & U2 sound incredible… Pink Floyd = Orgasm. Very satisfied with my purchase.
The first thing I noticed is that these headphones come in minimum, eco-friendly packaging – which looks good nonetheless. Included in the small box were the headphones , a cable clip, a pouch and four (!) sizes of ear fittings – so you should be able to find some which perfectly fit your ear.
The headphones look unobtrusive, but great. The natural wood the earbuds are made of looks great and classy – the design is clear and simple, but beautiful. The overall build quality seems solid.
I especially like the sound of these headphones; it is very transparent, balanced and crisp. This also means that if you prefer booming sound, these headphones might not be for you (you could try the Thinksound TS01 10mm). I use it to listen to various genres from post-rock to jazz and trip-hop and the sound is excellent throughout. The noise insulation is good, it stops annoying outside noise while you’ll still have a chance to hear oncoming cars or trains or jet aircraft and the like.
I haven’t had this product for too long yet, but I think it has a great potential to become a reliable “companion” on the road.
As a disclaimer, allow me to state that I am an expert-level player in Rock Band. I have an extensively large quantity of DLC music, am able to clear every song I own, and have unlocked the platinum instrument icon in Rock Band 2 shortly after its release. I have previously played rhythm games with the RedOctane Gibson SG for PS2, the Les Paul for Xbox 360, and the stock RB2 Fender Stratocaster controller. I will be comparing this controller to the RB2 Strat. I will not discuss any drawbacks that are implied for those who play lefty. (Any shortcomings you would normally experience from that are still seen here; this should not come as a surprise.)
This is an excellent controller, by far. It takes almost everything the RB2 Strat has to offer but with a clearly higher level of quality and feel. Both sets of frets are exquisite; I cannot fathom a controller design with frets better than what this controller has to offer. It feels almost effortless to fret even the most complex of note sequences; this controller will spoil you and dissuade you from returning to your RB2 Strat controller. Furthermore, the finish of the guitar neck is perfect. I find sliding to be as comfortable and smooth as I do on most electric guitar necks. The whammy bar holds up well and is neither too stiff nor too soft. The back button is accessible to those who prefer to activate their Overdrive with their strumming hands. The start button is in fact not a button, but a knob. You can rotate it in either direction until it clicks, which is when the controller notifies the console that Start has been “pressed”. An excellent design as to prevent accidental pausing during song play. The D-pad and Xbox guide button are beyond the Start knob and are easy to use as they are near the edge of the guitar body.
The headset jack is positioned even better than where it is located on a standard RB2 Strat. It is on the read of the body where you would normally access the tensioned springs for the bridge of an actual Fender Stratocaster. This position makes it innately easy to keep the headset wire out of the way while playing. We also have the jack for connecting a pedal for Overdrive activations. The controller comes with an adapter to allow you to connect and drum pedal that is compatible with RB drums into your guitar. This adapter fits very snugly and holds tightly very much like an audio cable connects an electric guitar to an amplifier. The realistic feel is just a bonus, but the true benefit is that it gives you a little bit of freedom without worrying about your drum pedal’s wire popping out of the controller, which was a hassle with the RB2 Strat which did not offer any additional securing mechanism to keep the jack in place.
Lastly we have the strum bar, which is the only element this controller offers that could come close to being a shortcoming. It’s slightly stiff and requires more effort for tremolo picking/high tempo alternate picking. It is a matter of getting used to, but it can be a small hurdle for those accustomed to the nice, gentle strum bar the RB2 Strat has. In addition to this higher level of resistance, it has a bit of a click when strumming. Typically, playing the game at least at a moderate volume is enough to virtually completely drown out the sound of this click; it was definitely noticeable at first since the RB2 Strat’s strum bar does not click, but it is easy to forget about with a little play time.
Since this is a replica, the neck’s length is the same length of a full scale electric guitar neck. Also, the weight of the controller is roughly 7 pounds, if I recall correctly. Any electric guitarist who is also a Rock Band enthusiast should find these attributes very comfortable and familiar; many reviews list these as a drawback of the controller, but that is most likely coming from players who are not electric guitarists and are foreign to the dimensions and weight of actual instruments.
I was lucky to pick up this controller during a Deal of the Day for 66% off, which brought it down to the retail price of the Beatles RB guitars, and I will say with no hesitation this controller is beyond worth its value for that price. Unfortunately, I find it difficult to recommend at full retail price of $299. Those who find money to be no object, or are hardcore enthusiasts of the game who want a high-quality controller with authentic feel, should go ahead and try one of these out, undoubtedly. Those treading the line of hesitation due to its price, I find it difficult what to recommend. I can just assure that essentially anyone satisfied with the feel of the RB2 Strat will be impressed with this controller. In my opinion a price of $199 is much more reasonable but I leave the final judgment call about this matter upon you.
I purchased this on sale at Amazon for about $100. At that price this was well worth it. I don’t really play Rockband nearly as much as I did when the game was released. Back story: In a relatively short period of time I went through 3 of the original guitars. The first (the original RB wired version) died of strum bar failure although I was able to open it up and jury rig a fix. The second (the wireless RB version) failed on overdrive activation (but otherwise was functional), the third (the wireless from the RB2 bundle) doesn’t register the yellow fret unless pressed very directly (pressure must be straight down on the key – hard if you have small hands). I pretty much gave up on the game because of the quality of guitar peripherals (I remain somewhat miffed that at the low durability of such expensive add ons). Oh, that tiny little spring for the whammy bars also broke on the first two (although winding a rubberband around the outside of the bar to the bottom guitar strap peg fixes that problem)
So, I purchased this version on a whim and since my friends still like to break out the game every now and then. I can say the feel is excellant the extra weight feels good once you get used to it. More to the point the strum bar (although it is clicky) is very solid and seems like it will hold up over time (there is very little play in it and the return action is good – so strummer can use this without getting the double strums that happen when the bar is too loose).
So, I would say if you intend to play a lot you might actually save some money (and certainly some frustration) by buying something like this. However, I would also say that at the normal price I would consider this too expensive personally.
This is simply a fantastic guitar controller. It’s a full sized wooden body guitar so it is big and heavy, but the fret buttons are great and tilt mechanism is flawless. Highly recommended for the serious RockBand player.
BIG NOTE: the strum-bar on this guitar is super-clicky, so if you love the RB2 and hate GH guitars, think twice. I hate the click but still love the guitar and am trying to figure out a way to mod the strumbar.
I recently got this and have played with it for a few hours and really, really like it. My only complaints are that the strum bar is alittle loud on the clicking noise, I prefer the silent strum bar of the stock Strat that comes with RB2. My second complaint is that the back knob, top of the guitar under the strum bar, is pretty hard on the ridges and I seem to keep scraping up my pinky on it when playing fast, I don’t want to take a dremel to it and smooth it out as I love the look of this too much, but it may have to come to that.
On the positive side I LOVE the fret button, their soft, easy to press, and easy to do hammer ons/pull offs. The look and feel of the finish is fan-freakin-tasic! I love the look and feel of this beast and minus my 2 complaints, I love this thing and will be using for a long time.
These headphones sounded great, but the L earbud wouldn’t seal in either of my ears regardless of which size I tried. They would’ve been perfect if not for that, but I sent them in because the unbalanced sound gave me a headache after prolonged listening.
