🎧 Flips Audio FH2814BK: Versatile Collapsible HD Headphones & Stereo Speakers - Black Review

I bought these for my son who seems to like them but only uses them as speakers. In-ear sound quality was very lackluster, with very little highs or mids. Just bass that wasn't clear or punchy. Also, the end of the cable that connects to the audio source seems very flimsy as my son broke it fairly easily by bending it. I had to throw them away after only 1 year.

My only experience with Flips headphones is that the quality just isn't there. Bought a pair on September 1st 2013 and the left speaker stopped working in less than 9 months. They were also very well looked after. Not that they were abused. Flips was contacted and told that the warranty had expired and that Flips would not do warranty repairs. I won't buy them again. Spend more money and get a better product.

My parents got this for my son for Christmas. He saw her ad around the same time. The whole concept is great. They worked like a charm for about a month. As soon as you try to turn them off, there is no sound. I had to send them back via Brookstone. Which didn't matter much. They didn't hesitate. But after seeing the offers and prices of other brands of headphones and comparing them to the cost of these, I would make my son wait for a price drop for something else.

The sound quality is very good for the price. I just want the leading group to be a bit stronger. My son broke it in the first month. It cracked when he tried to take it off with one hand instead of two. Broken right where the gasket meets the plastic side. We glued them together and they still work pretty well, only now he uses them more like speakers because the crackling bothers him after a while. Too bad I spent more time making sure he always takes them off with both hands.

This is an update of my original 5 star review after owning it for 2 months. They had decent sound and quality. This was my 12 year old sons favorite Christmas present until they stopped working 6 months later. He's not a person who abuses or abuses his stuff and takes good care of them, so I know this is a product and not a "sloppy kid". He liked the versatility of being able to wear them as headphones or use them as speakers so everyone can hear them. More comfortable than most we've tried in
