Well, I've got my paws all over these very _unique_ earphones. They are large (better get that camera out) and actually, quite impressive. The 99$ price from Amazon is warranted. Firstly, they sound pretty good. I have yet to confirm what the earphone housing is made of, but if I suspect correctly and they are made of plastic, the earphone doesn't sound typically boomy (for a closed plastic design) as many plastic earphones can sound.

It is big though: a bit hard to wear, but I think that may be secondary to its real reason for being so big: crazy looks. Fans of Lady Gaga's craziness will feel right at home - this earphone looks cool enough for the fan and WILL turn heads.

Build preview: it is pretty well made. For the price, probably one of the better earphones on the market. Firstly, it has pretty good anchoring in the cable plug, but I am unsure of the earphone portion yet. The cable won't crystallise quickly; it should last quite a long time, and unlike the Monster Beats Tour, it isn't a bugger to keep in the ear - the big design helps that out quite well.

TouchMyApps' full review of the Lady Gaga heartbeats will come in a few weeks. For now, just hold peace, knowing that it is a good earphone for fans of its crazy appearance!
