Query: Comfortable, but defective right out of the box.

These seem like such an amazing value on paper, but straight out of the box, only one side of the earphones works. I was afraid it was my ipod, but testing these with other devices (and my ipod with different earphones) revealed that the earphones were defective.I purchased these to have an inexpensive set of earphones to use while sleeping, as I don't want to risk damage to my favorite Bose earphones. The price was right, and they were very comfortable (even for a side-sleeper like me), where the Bose feel like little rocks in my ears while trying to sleep.If you want them for noise-cancelling, however, do not waste your time with these. Both with the original pads on the earbuds, AND changed to the tiered ones by the same brand, the noise cancelling of these is virtually nonexistent.If you want cheap and comfortable, I say go for it. Just plan on possibly having to return them if you get a pair that is defective.
