 Above Average Sound, Nice Vibration September 6, 2008
I remember buying these earphones,like 6 years ago then one of my friends broke them.
So when I saw these on amazon I had to buy them. Specially for this price and the vibration is pretty strong and
great overall.
 one size does not fit all.. June 1, 2008
this product while sometimes providing the bass vibrating on ones neck. thats if your neck is small or med.. in my case the earpods barely fit into my ear canal and that limits the sound im able to hear..the sound if you could hear might be ok.. but i wouldnt know...

WOW... that sums it up! These are incredible! They are a little uncomfterable at first, but after a few days they fit like a glove. The VMSS really lets you expirence bass like never before. Just remember to turn them off when your not using them, or you'll go through batteries real fast@

This is my second set of Brainshaker headphones. The original ones came with a Panasonic VMSS player. The main reason for buying is the unique base: you get a feeling that it's there, but you don't get a headache from the actual sound.
A few users mentioned that these headphones cause pain... That's true: In my case it was for about two weeks. Headphones will not align with your head right out of the box. While flexible plastic component of headphones adjusts to your head, you may experience some pain in ears and neck. Once it aligns, you don't know they are there.
On the upside, I noticed that unless you yank on the cord, nothing will shake them off your head, at least when you're not using soft ear buds.
Downside of these headphones... battery unit which is pretty heavy, although uses cheap AA batteries; quality of materials and assembly... treat these headphones with care. They do not like the abuse, and that includes the wire.
Pros: unique sound... for me that was enough to buy the second set.
Cons: takes some painful time to get used to; not too durable; battery unit is a bit too heavy: you have to find a place to clip it to.
P.S.
I hope one day Panasonic will release a VMSS compatible MP3 player.
 Good concept but excruciatingly painful January 31, 2004

I bought these from Sears... sorry Amazon but it only made me more embittered towards Sears. While it is pretty cool to have the bass throbbing on the back of your neck the novelty soon wears off due to the thin padding in ear plugs and almost angular/sharp seams in the headphones that seem to dig into your ears through the foam. After 1/2 hour they become very uncomfortable as they cut into your ears and pull on your ears as the weighty back end sags on the back of your neck. Do not wear them for more than an hour... I will repeat that. DO NOT WEAR THEM FOR MORE THEN AN HOUR. You may think that you can cope with the discomfert but you soon find your self in great amounts of pain as your ears are raw, red, sore, and it almost feels like you got paper cuts in both ears. They may sound good and be fun for 15 minutes but headphones should be able to be used for more than 1/2 an hour without causing pain. Do not get these headphones I don't care how much of a bass junky you are they aren't worth it. I do however suggest getting a pair of Evergreen RumbleFX headphones from their site rumblefx.com
The Evergreen's sound great and have the comfortable cups on either side with lots of padding and noticeable bass from both the cups and tactile vibration at the same time. Plus their the same price.
In closing do your self a favor and DO NOT GET Brain Shakers
unless you enjoy the idea of inserting a flesh eating earwig into your ears while putting the back of your neck to a PS2 controller with the rumble function... I'm ranting.
just get the Rumble FX's instead and you'll be much happier.
