Good while they lasted December 3, 2008
Ken P. Copen (Alameda, CA USA)
Overall I was pretty happy with my Tune Buds. While they worked. Like many others here, the sound in one of the buds started to go after about two months of use. This is definitely a flaw with the wiring by the connector. If you jiggle it the sound will come back for a few seconds. Griffin will replace them, but who needs the hassle?

The positives are that the microphone is decent and the button on it will answer calls as well as turn on and off your music. It also comes with different sized silicone buds, the smallest of which fit my ears nicely and many often don't work well for me. The sound for my purposes, which was taking calls and listening mostly to podcasts, was fine.

However, if you use them daily like I did, you can probably expect them to break in a fairly short period of time, which makes them impossible to recommend. I'm looking at the Skullcandy earphones/headset as another option.

Poor quality. Lasted 2 weeks. December 2, 2008
Larry (Boise, ID)
I hoped this would be a good, cheap, utility headphone with microphone for the iPhone, for listening to podcasts and audio books while walking or running. Unfortunately, the product is of very low quality. Two major problems, maybe related: From the beginning there was "white noise" in the headphones even when no sound was playing from the iPhone; and the wires leading into the jack became exposed after only two weeks of not very heavy use.

Perfect iPhone Companion November 23, 2008

These buds should ship with the iPhone, or maybe not, if they did one might not realize how much better they are. Sound great and super comfortable and being black they look great and are less noticeable.

Tinny sound and poor quality November 20, 2008
R. Ploehn (Miami Beach, FLA, USA)
OK, I knew from the reviews that the sound would have "sss's" with speaking. So I set the iPhone to "spoken word" and it seemed to help. But then the cable connection apparently broke at the junction with the plug. No rough handling, just average like with other buds I have. This Griffin did not last three weeks.

Awesome headset. Unexpensive and useful. November 19, 2008
Ernesto Dc Silva
For a lot of users that have bought the IPod Touch like me, and have felt a little left behind for not being able to have recording options, say no more. The Griffin TuneBuds is Awesome.

Unlike the hacked mics that plug into the charge port(not available for the 2g anyway yet) the Tunebuds is very lightweight. The ear buds themselves are very stable in your ear, it does not come off easily like most of us have experienced with the IPod earphones (very bad). ItuneBuds does come with different size buds. It is almost total noise isolating. The cord is nylon, unlike anything I have ever seen before. It's different, I'don't know if it's better, but I've noticed it is easier to untangle than a regular rubbery cord.

Now the Mic is the greatest feature of this device, and I love it for being so unexpensive and cool looking. You can use Griffin's app for the Ipod touch, or any other voice recording app. Most of which are free from the app store. One I highly recommend is Evernote.

The recording quality of the Mic is great, it's not perfect but it sounds like a cell phone call. Pretty great for the price. I use it a lot to create little reminders and to - dos. I can name the files whatever I want and choose what quality recording I would like. Very nifty.

The button on the Mic works as a control for your music player as well. Hit one play/pause. Twice skip forward, 3 times skip backwards. I just love being able to do that without having to tap my way into the music player everytime I need to skip a song or pause for a second. It works from any application you're in as long as the application doesn't have music audio (youtube, tap tap revenge) The music stops automatically.

Now the thing that I bought this mic for and really Amazes me for the coolness of being able to do it is making Voip calls with it. I use it with skype and wlm to make call when I'm on a hotspot. That works like magic it's unbelievable and I love that. The people tell me they can hear me well and that makes me proud of my purchase.

I really see no cons for this device. You should buy it.
