These earphones were MP3 players there when I bought it 2 years ago with my Creative. As long as they have maintained until they are torn me recently anyway. The headphones that I had in the past have all been broken after a few months and the sound was also very much worse. Therefore, I find that for 2 years in which they have held are already quite long. I am very glad that the headphones are now finally arrived (it did not take long!) And I can finally listen to good music. Had for few days cheap headphones (compared to the price of 9.91 of Creative headphones I had with the bad sound actually need to return the other. In addition, press and to me constantly from the ear) So folks, if you have a good sound and want to have a good "seat" in the ear, I can only recommend you the headphones from Creative. To me they are just perfect. The communication with the seller worked great, the payment and the delivery also also. 'm Very happy !!!
