Two words describe my experience with the iharmonix Platinum i-Series headphones: uncomfortable & noisy.

While I found the sound-quality of the headphones to be quite good, I could not stand to use them for more than 10 minutes. I tried using all three sets of ear gels and couldn't get any of them to fit correctly, so my ears started to ache after about 8-10 minutes of use. The gels for the headphones fell out of my ears constantly and were uncomfortable to the point that I had to switch to my own ($14) pair. Perhaps I have weird ears, but not being able to get any of the gels to fit properly really steamed me. For an MSRP of $59.95 you'd think iharmonix could provide a product that fits a little more comfortably. In addition, I found that whenever the wires moved it created a distinct thumping sound in my ears. This is especially annoying if you’re walking, jogging, working or just moving in general.

Although I was dismayed at the fit of the headphones and the noise I heard whenever the wires moved, there are some good qualities to these headphones. I found the sound quality to be quite good. The bass wasn't too low and didn't overpower the high- and mid-range sounds. The in-line microphone's sound quality was better than the Bluetooth headset I use with my Blackberry. The multi-function button performed well when placing and receiving calls with voice-activated dialing, or pausing and resuming music.

These headphones feature:

• In-line microphone for hands-free calling
• Multi function button for send/end and pause music
• Gold plated 3.5mm audio / voice DC jack
• Advanced sonic accuracy
• 11mm driver unit
• Super bass
• Brushed stainless steel casing
• Polished gun metal alloy finish
• Ear gels in 3 sizes

In addition to all of this, you get a little cloth bag to carry your headphones around in when you're not using them.

These headphones are targeted at iPhone and Blackberry owners, but in my opinion, I think your $60 could be better spent on a Bluetooth headset with stereo support .
