AV Link Mono Swivel Hook Earphone, Black

Received this item and after attempting to fit it to my ear I discovered it was far too small. I was very disappointed, but after realising that the earpiece could slide up and down to fit ear size, I was happy. This fits much better now, and the sound is quite good. I use it mainly in bed to listen to podcasts in the evening, and being able to wear it on either ear to allow me to sleep on either side is excellent. The sound quality is rather good for the price, although if you're looking for something that produces high quality audio this is not the item for you. With my iPhone volume up full I can quite easily hear everything, although in slightly louder environments it can sometimes be difficult. If, like me, you're purchasing this to use in bed or in a quiet area then you shouldn't have any problems with it. Not recommended for use in louder areas. The volume is good for a quiet room but would be useless on a bus, for example. At the price I think it's tough to complain about the quality of the product. It feels quite sturdy, and the adjustable earpiece is useful. It feels very comfortable on the ear, and so far I haven't had any problems with it. The lead is quite long, too, and I think it would very easily fit into most pockets. I've had trouble in the past with earphone leads being too short, but this one is quite good. At the end of the day, it's worth a shot if you're unsure. At worst you'll lose a few quid that you'd have probably wasted on something useless anyway, and at best you'll have got yourself a bargain. As it's suitable for kids and adults, you could always make it a cheap Christmas/Birthday gift for a relative if you find it not to your satisfactions.

I use a mono earphone to listen regularly to the LBC late night phone-in show. This involves the side of head on the pillow scenario, so a piece that can hook over either ear is essential to me. I previously had the one piece fixed arm design, which was OK but hard on the lug hole at times. Once that finally died, I decided to try this hinged design, which turns out to be far more comfortable, with a nice foam cushion in place too. Good clear sound, very well made for the price. Nick Abbot will sound just fine through this little gem.

I don't know if it was just this one but it doesn't work with any of my audio devices (except one). The Jack doesn't seem to fit and with most devices you can only get some sound if you pull the Jack out part way and the sound disappears if the jack gets wiggled. I only didn't send it back because the exception is my wife's radio which it fits just perfectly and she sleeps with it listening to the radio and loves it. Update July 2013: My wife has continued using it very happily but the ear connector has just broken off (~5 months). She's just asked me to get her another one so we will see if the jack on that one works with anything but her radio...

Initially it seemed a little awkward, for I had mistakenly thought that it was 'in-ear'. However, once adjusted it fits either side, resting on the ear. The quality is fine for my personal radio while walking the dog and it is comfortable to wear.

Edit: delivered 5th Jan, broke 5th Feb. Typical, a day after return window closed. I was just about to write a review about how the fit is really bad, I thought it was because I wear glasses, but even without the pad is higher than my earhole. This made the sound very faint and I had to end up holding it close to my ear in the right place in order to hear it. I had played with various adjustments of the arm that goes behind the ear, but that didn't really help. I had been using it for a few weeks at my desk for those quick moments when I needed to hear something but didn't want to get out or wear full headphones. But it wasn't working well, I then spotted you can slide the round speaker bit up and down the black plastic shaft. This made all the difference, it finally fitted well and whilst a bit wobbly, it was fine for my intended use. The sound is ok, it's not for music or for a noisy environment, but if you need a light, cheap, and fairly comfortable earphone then this ticks all those boxes.

Completely what you’d expect. It does the job of allowing sleep-time listening. It adapts to either ear and is fine for the price. Not a high end product but not too cheap and nasty. The only real grumble is that the foam cover sometimes slips off the speaker.

Another insomniac here! This one-sided earphone that can be turned to fit either ear is what I'd been looking for, having tried without success all sorts of devices to listen to my radio during the sleepless hours that a) would not fall from my ears, b) would let me lie on either side and c) would not wake my wife. This very cheap earphone is brilliant. So simple, yet so effective and comfortable. Hugely recommended.

I use these headphones for listening in bed but this one was a bit too uncomfortable for that purpose. Apart from that, they are perfectly OK.

Mono Ohrhörer für ein Mono Kindle-Fire, für mehr war es nicht gedacht. Sitzt aber für mein Ohr etwas zu locker.
