Summary: Backbeat Titaium Ear Buds
Comment: These are spectacular, lots of ear pieces to find the right fit, stay put even when running on a treadmill. Excellent noise reduction, fit and seem to be really durable. The cords have a cloth like cover so they don't tangle like the ear buds that come with the I Touch.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Sound Quality
Comment: i don't listen to earphones/earbuds often but these are these best i've ever heard and they stay in the ear where most easily pop up. the sound of the cord rubbing together is not a problem.

Summary: My son loves them!
Comment: I bought these as a gift for my son. He is extremely happy with them. He uses them with his Zune. He says they are the best headphones he has ever had and he's had many, many pairs. He says they sound amazing. He also really likes all the different little SnugFit ear tips as apparently he has hard to fit ears! A great buy from Amazon "Deal of the Day".

Summary: D.Hoffmann
Comment: Good quality if your sitting still. However I have a 15 minute walk to work and like to listen to my iPhone. The cord (wire) rubs against my clothing when I walk and the rubbing sound amplifies into the ear piece. I found this unacceptable and returned the headphones. Thanks to Amazon for making the return process painless.

Summary: Sounds great but doesn't last...
Comment: First off I'd like to start by saying that the sound was way more balanced and clear than the 4 other different earphones I've owned, you can't beat the sound quality for the price (especially if you get it in the $25-$35 price range.) Even at $50 it's a good deal for how great the sound is. The fact that it comes with a case and multiple sizes of earbuds for precision fitting makes it even more of a value. I've had a couple of Skullcandies and some Sony's that were less than stellar and distorted the sound/bass at higher volumes, so these were a welcome upgrade for me.
But that's pretty much where all the good things end. I've owned 2 pairs of these that both went bad within a few months. The sound started going in and out, changing in volume, and went completely out in one ear of the first pair I had. If a cat hadn't chewed up my first pair after it went out I would've probably tried to exchange it, but instead I tried 2 other earphones before breaking down and buying another pair of the UHP326s. It's now been a little over 4 months and this new pair has started giving out as well. Keep in mind that I've bought 6 earphones at this point so I've spent some money, so that means I was very careful with this pair in particular. I always stored it in it's pouch wrapped up carefully (I'm a dj so I've been wrapping wires for a long time, so no stress on the cords from that.) I even positioned my iPod a specific way when listening so that nothing obstructed or forced down the cord freeing that area of stress as well. That didn't matter, this pair didn't even last as long as my first.
The sound of the cord rubbing is very distracting too, it obviously didn't bother me enough to stop me from buying it again but I listen to music at very high volumes. It got very annoying during the quiet parts of everything I listened to, and it's hard to listen to music while trying not to move. In Altec Lansing's defense the customer service (so far) was pretty helpful and they offered to "upgrade" to the UHP606. I'm not holding my breath though, I haven't received the headphones quite yet and the reviews on the 606 aren't that much better either. I'll try and remember to give a review on the 606's when and if I get them so you can see how much "better" they are and how long my new pair lasts.
My advice is to go with something else, they might not sound as good but they'll last longer - and there really is no way to get high quality sound and durability without spending over $100. Believe me I've tried.
(I was going to give this a 2, 2 & ½ stars but what good is decent sound at a value price if it doesn't last? Plus we all know everyone only reads the highest and lowest ratings. After reading these reviews and the ones for the "higher" 606 model it seems that this defective issue isn't a fluke, so it's better to get the word out in these 1 star reviews.)
