2 out of 5 stars Decent earphone for $20, no way for $60   September 25, 2008
mattman (NoVa)
So I've gone through 3 sets of these. First set cost me $10, second set cost me $20, third set $35. Each set I had has broken such that:

a. one earbud no longer works
b. mic button no longer works
c. cord snaps off at button

I'd be willing to continue to get this at the original price, 'cause I like the way they fit and the lanyard design is very convenient, but $60 is way outrageous for a product that is just ok.



1 out of 5 stars Broke after a couple of months   July 21, 2008
Brian (Austin, TX United States)
I really liked these headphones before they broke. They fit well, the sound was fine by me, and I like the lanyard design. But eventually they broke, now the sound cuts out at the slightest movement of the wire, rendering them useless.


2 out of 5 stars I loved these 20 buckers while they worked!   July 17, 2008
Lintos Suvlakakistonimus (Houston, TX)
I really love these earbuds but they are already broken!
I've been using them daily for a month and really love them. They sound is as good as a pair of $20 earbuds can.
However, the connector has already started shorting out. Too bad - I like these way better than the iPhone earphones.
I'm very rough on earbuds but most brands last me 6 months before they get to the state these are in.
Still, I may buy another set since there are no other inexpensive options yet.





1 out of 5 stars Mine was defective and the manufacturer did not care.   July 16, 2008
T. Bell (Richmond, Virginia United States)
I got this and loved it for a about 10 days until one ear bud stopped working. It had a bad connection and would work if I played with the cable. I got it on sale for under $10 and decided not to bother returning it to Amazon. I contacted Rivet through their support email and never got any response.


2 out of 5 stars Two broken in one month   July 13, 2008
Mark Slater (Stanford, CA United States)
The Rivet Stereo Headset has okay voice quality for phone conversations, but poor music quality. The build is so fragile that extra care has to be applied to let them last longer than one month.

The first one I bought broke in two weeks, when the microphone and the microphone button stopped working. I used this headset in regular computer headphone jack and destroyed the microphone circuit probably in 3 hours. So be very careful not to use it anywhere except for the iphone.

the second one I bought broke within one week, when the extremely long wire caught up on a door handle and a moderate jerk broke the internal wire: the left headphone, the microphone and the button are all not responsive now.

I would not recommend this headset, because unless extra care is applied, it will cost $20 a month to replace it every month.
