JLab JBuds J5M Earphones w/ Mic

This is my moms account but I ordered the headphones as I needed new ones to replace my old pair, so I decided to write a review about them. I have been using them now for awhile and have to say these are the best headphones I've ever used, they didn't even need a break-in period atleast not for me. The bass is very good and overall sound quality is something I wouldn't have expected, as I like many others have said have owned some of the more expensive headphones in the past and man, these earbuds outperform any of them. Pros: 1. Good sound quality, voices are crisp and the bass is really fantastic, it really does enhance my music a lot. 2. The headphones work great with both my MP3 Player and Laptop Computer. 3. The noise canceling part of the headphones is great, when using them people around me literally have to tap me on the shoulder to get my attention, probably not so great if driving but for what I use them for this is perfect. (I use headphones at night when setting up and working on the computer, so this feature really comes in handy so I don't disturb those around me) 4. These things are great if you have quiet speakers as well, I usually keep my volume on the laptop set to around 40-47 but with these I have to set it down to about 24 or 25! They allow me to hear stuff better, and like I said above seem to enhance my music quiet a lot which is nice. 5. They don't feel cheap either or atleast they don't to me, I would recommend these to my friends and family if they needed headphones, I half expected to get a cheap pair of headphones that would break fairly quickly after reading a few reviews...Thankfully I decided to take the plunge and purchase them anyway, and have to say I am very satisfied with the purchase and commend JLab for making a quality pair of headphones and keeping them affordable as well. Cons: I've been using the headphones for about 2 and a half days now mainly on my laptop and I have to say, they have outperformed what even I expected when ordering them, so as to say I haven't seen any of it's flaws yet would be to the point. I truly haven't got anything to add to the Cons list, as I am completely satisfied with my purchase. I hope this review is helpful to those on the fence about whether or not to buy this product, thanks for reading! Update: 1/5/2013 I have had these Earbuds for only about 2 weeks and they have already shorted out on one side, no matter what I do that side refuses to play any sound, they were great in sound quality but other reviewers here ultimately turned out to be right...They short out way too fast and listening to one sided earbuds isn't a joy at all, now I wish I had gone with my gut instinct. Mind you my opinion on the sound quality hasn't changed they are still the best of what I have owned, however in light of the fact they wear out so fast I cannot in good standing recommend them to anyone, I recommend you listen to the people who say these Buds will short out soon after you purchase them...Take it from me, a person who decided to not listen and buy them anyway, they are telling the truth. Update: 1/11/2013 I sent a request to JLabs in order to get a replacement pair of earbuds, I will further update the review when I receive the replacement pair to see if they work better, I will give them about a week in a half to see if they last longer than my first pair. Update: 1/17/2013 I just received my replacement Earbuds and as soon as I put them on (Unlike my first pair) the quality of the sound was clear, the bass came through very well and vocals were very crisp and clear! I am satisfied with that part, yet that wasn't really the problem as my first pair decided to stop working after just 2 weeks but I will give JLabs the benefit of the doubt, only time can tell though as to whether or not this pair lasts longer than the others. Right now though, the product is back to 5 star quality.
