in ear buds usually do not work for me. after about 5 or 10 min they make my ears ache. i recently got a slightly different altec lansing ladies specific earbud set and absolutely love them. they are so comfortable that i can listen to music or use them for hands-free calling. they have great sound, too. the earbuds that i have look so pretty and have the same cord (which is made of a fabric) so it looks really classy.

i'm gonna grab these ones too, only bummer is that the lavender ones in the picture aren't listed for sale.

if you're curious, the pair i love

... roses aren't purple.

Anyway, my ears are so tiny I make Stephen Colbert look like Dumbo, so I might try a pair. In manly, masculine gold, not that I'm insecure.

(And I see ThunderThighs beat me to the observation about the color by a few seconds. That'll teach me to correct typos!)

great! that's the ones i ordered. i was almost as happy expecting pink.

Are those divots or rhinestones in the backs of them?

i would never disagree that purple roses exist. roses can come in any color of the rainbow! most people would expect the color rose to represent a pink color
merriam webster tells us it's a a moderate purplish red
freedictionary.com says the color of a rose; pink
and the classic color wheel says rose is half way between red and magenta.

i'd like to see altec's reference

Not a big fan of Altec Lansing Headphones. The speakers I bought from woot for a couple dollars have held up nicely but I couldn't get the same lifespan with their headphones.

These ones cost more than the 2 or 3 dollar pairs I got so hopefully they last longer.

Probably be a good stocking stuffer for a Young one, or great to keep as an emergency pair in your car or luggage. Ever try to buy headphones at an airport? an inferior pair of headphones will cost you 30 dollars no joke.

love these! These are just perfectly made for my teenytiiny girl ears. I haven't been this happy since they answered my prayers and made BIC for Her pens.

Anyone have an opinion on sound? Thanks...

I bought a pair in the last woot off, and received them over the holiday weekend. I compared the sound to my Motorola bluetooth set, and while it's not quite as good as those, it's not terrible.

Also, the fabric coverage on the cords gives me hope that they'll last longer than my last pair of buds... Oh, and the bud shape is actually pretty comfy in the ear.

I feel like I got my money's worth.

...and we have Michigan native actor Jeff Daniels' "Purple Rose" theater in Michigan!

Some are purple.

I'd get these but...shipping is $5? for this one little $6 item...I'm just not feeling that

The plus being you unlock free shipping and can buy other stuff across woot you have your eye on for the rest of the day.

We just got these over the weekend as well, and my son was so excited (I got him the mint/blue ones). He was complaining about his prior earbuds hurting his ears because they were too big. He ended up using the Medium on one side and extra small on the other. Yep - he's my kid - just as cockeyed as mom.

So glad to see these up! My children played dualing DVD's during the 14 hour car trip back from a visit to the in-laws. It seems the earphones they had were not working properly. Now we'll be ready for a visit with my side of the family - 40 hours in the car for Christmas - Woot! Woot!

Do they work with the iPhone?
