Nixon Wire Mic Headphones - 2009 BCS

Had a pair that looked identical to these except for color and slightly different mic. Worst sound I've had in an aftermarket set. Muddy.

So i tested these out at a local board shop today and loved them so much walked out with a pair. What they don't tell you on the Nixon website is that they teamed up with Sony to create their audio line. These are the best headphones that i have ever owned. The mic has a button that you can press to answer calls and change the song (iphone) forward and back. The silicone earbuds seal off the ear canal really well to block out any background noise and are really comfortable too. I am way more impressed with my Nixon headphones than the Scull Candy's or Wesc headphones that i have recently purchased. Trust me, you can't go wrong here.

I've had loads of problems with headphones that sit in your ear. Most of them wiggle loose and fall out or they sit funny in my ears and end up hurting. My $200 Shure's are the worst of all as far as fit but "WERE" the best for sound. These Nixon's have just passed those up. In fact my Shure's to a quick trip to the trash once I got these in my lobes. The sound in them is truly amazing! They have much richer high tones and much deeper bass tones. It just sounds like a much more full sound effect. They work perfect with any generation of iPhone too which is a plus. They're definitely worth the dough!!!

well first of all the mic boom is GIANT! second of all there is soooo much noise from the wires if you just so much as look at them! I love nixon products and was expecting much better quality. In fact me and 2 of my friends got them all at the same time and we went a day with em and then immediately sent them back. There are MUCH better headphones out there for this price. not recommended, but cool...kinda

i bought these and instantly gave them away. lah-ame. sorry but the button is HUGE! and doesn't really function that well. i was hoping for super sleek and small...sorely disappointed.

These things look nice and their audio seems pretty clear, certainly better than the cheapo earbuds I've been using. But the cloth material transmits a TON of sound. Anything I could tell this even from walking around my apartment. So they sound great, but you can't move while you're wearing them. Hmm. They're going back.

Pretty decent headphones for the price. Good sound, good fit, and stylish. I prefer these way over skull candy. They last a lot longer and can take quite the beating.

These headphones are so nice! Although they can get expensive, they are well worth it. I snowboard throughout the winter and take them everytime because the snow doesnt even effect them. We all have left stuff in our pockets before doing laundry, and unfortunatll my nixons were one of the many items, i got them out of the dryer thinking they were toast but to my suprise they worked like nothing ever happened!

AWESOME PRODUCT!

Good quality and sound. Best headphones I have owned in a while

These are a good quality headphone that have good sound and stay together

They are awesome headphones and super comfortable to wear anywhere. They stay in my ears while I am working out as well as they are comfortable for extended periods of time while sitting in the office.

I just got my wire mics, and Nixon has made quite a lot of improvements to them from the earlier releases. The ear buds are now much smaller and fit perfectly without falling out. Also, they've changed the material used for the wire, which resolves the sound transmission issue. It's rad to see that Nixon has taken our feedback and actually acted on it.

First of all the music is extremely quiet. Second of all my real problem was where the wire splits to the two and goes to the earbuds one is super long like 2 feet long and the other is only 3 inches it looks so rediculus. These headphones are in no way worth the money. My 20 dollar skullycandys are so much better for the moneys. So in a nutshell these headphones such and Nixon should stick to making watches

These headphones are awesome. They have quick-click navigation through songs and the sound quality is great. A little overpriced though. These headphones are perfect for the iPhone.

I agree the sound quality on these are great, lots of base. I love Nixon products and thought these were a steal when I saw them on clearance on WM. I bought two pairs and while they are stylish they are poorly engineered. The cord is nice that it doesn't tangle easily and looks cool but the sound of it brushing up against anything when these are in your ears is loud and uncomfortable. My other complaint is that the microphone is bulky and not centered in relation to the ear buds. As a result when you have these just hanging around your neck (not in your ears) the heavy mic causes them to slip off. Be aware no volume controls on the mic.
I would recommend these for riding on a plane and thats about it.

These earbuds are slick looking, but the cord transmits static whenever you move. I tried them on, listened to a song for about 15 seconds, boxed them up and sent them back. I got static whenever the cord touched anything. I bought these to use when I ski, but there's no way they would sound good with the cord brushing against a coat. Definitely not worth the price.

Just got mine in today, and I have been testing them out. They are awesome! Great highs and lows, and fit my ears perfectly without any discomfort! I'd recommend them! Only lows about these is that the separate lengths the right and left wires is awkward, and I think they would be better if they had rubber linings of the wires rather than the cloth. Great build quality otherwise, and works with the iPhone perfectly!

These sounds great, and block out a lot of the ambient noise in the office or plane, etc. Only problem with that is when you are trying to use them as your phone headset, you can't hear your voice, and it's hard to tell if you are talking too loud.

It blows my mind how people are reviewing Nixon buds so well. I can only assume that they are judging purely on appearance. When I first got these buds, I wrote a rash review about the great sound quality and how cool they looked. However, I've now been using them for 3 months and, well, I'm not using them. I quickly found that the cord is AWFUL!!!!!!! for transmitting sound. I'm not talking about riding, I mean if you're sitting down at your computer and you breathe, the cord makes a ruffling sound. It's incredibly horrible. They are also useless for any form of exercise as the oversized bud simply doesn't fit the human ear (even with the multiple sizes of buds you get) and you'll be continuously trying to shove them in. Overall, you are most definitely paying for the Nixon name. I'll continue to buy their watches, but I'll look elsewhere for headphones. Please, don't waste your money. Skullcandy make more comfortable and equally stylin' buds, or for a similar price to these you can get a pair of Shures or Sennheisers, both of which blow them out of the water for sound and comfort.
