New - onn. Wired Earphones with Microphone-3.5mm Jack, Black, 5 Pack

I've bought this set several times over the years. They last a really long time! I used to buy the single set instead of this 5-pc set. Then I realized that they cost more than these do so I "bit the bullet" and went for it. I'm so glad I did! You see, I listen to books on my phone and I listen to books on Playaways, which I get from the library. The Playaways don't have a Bluetooth capability so earbuds are my only option. I don't want Bluetooth hooked up to my ear throughout the day so when I want to listen to one of my books (or less often, a video) on my phone, I use the earbuds. I recently learned that my sister won't use Bluetooth (Blueteeth? Haha!) at all on her cellphone which makes her life difficult when she is sitting with her hubby at the doctor or by his hospital bedside where there's no privacy and you need something to help you pass the time. She doesn't read books but she does watch videos. Anyway, she lives 2,000 miles away from me but it won't be hard to give her these as a gift. (Hint, hint!) And what a great gift for kids! This is a good time to tell you that the cords are about 4 feet long so I wrap them around my neck to protect them from getting caught on things. I imagine that depending on their age, this might be important to know if you're buying for them. By the way, most people don't realize that their phone has a plug for headsets so check yours to see if it does. I don't have to tell you that NOT ALL HEADSETS have a MICROPHONE but THESE from ONN DO! It freaked my husband out when I called him using my cell phone. He reluctantly accepted that it must work but he couldn't wrap his mind around how on earth it works! Funny when "old school" is still somehow "new school", too! ;-) He says I sound great on the earbuds but doesn't like the sound when I'm on a Bluetooth. One final thing... I have a hearing problem and can't wear my hearing aids with earbuds so I should mention that the volume is great! And the price of $5 a quality pair of earbuds (with a microphone!) can't be beat! Oh...and did you notice that they come with 2 small and 2 large silicone ear tips? Some of you will be happy with that news! Order them with confidence. I was afraid to try any other since I used to have such a problem with those "dying" way too soon. That's why I'm so happy to be able to use these for months even though they're usually hanging around my neck. That's how much I use them. For the record, I'm not being paid for this review. They wouldn't know me from Eve. =)
