lanyard, yes; longevity, what? May 12, 2008
short and sweet: i love the lanyard design. you can remove the buds from your ears and the whole system doesn't fall to your feet. i loved it for running too, but fabric rubbing on the cord makes a loud hollow sound in your ear. boo. so the real kicker is this, after two months the left ear bud has stopped working. can't figure why, they were not abused or shocked in anyway. i have seen many other reviews with this same problem. so proceed with caution.
in summary, these are cheap and they'll get you through a month or two of convenient lanyard styling. but that is it!
 Works for about a month and then breaks down May 5, 2008

I have had 2 sets of these headphones and bought another one for a friend. All three of them have worked between 1-2 months and then the left earbud dies out completely and the right one works sporadically. The mic continues to work but it is not always responsive for skipping a song or answering a call.
Initially, I thought I was doing something wrong but if all three ended up the same way, it appears likely that these headphones are just not made very well.
Also, I have attempted to contact Rivet to request warranty replacement and my requests have thus far been completely ignored.
Ultimately, these headphones are a waste of money and I recommend trying out a different pair.
sucks April 24, 2008
the texture of the cable is not slick like most earphone cables, but more like rope. This creates an annoying noise when the split cables rub against each other, something they do a lot as the split part of the cable is looooong. I would return it if I wasn't so lazy. Now I'll just never use it.
2 of these have broken on me April 16, 2008

Do not buy these.
The first set I bought broke after about 30 days. I gave Rivet the benefit of the doubt, and sent it to them for a replacement. I bought another pair to use in the meantime because the price is so low.
I received a replacement, but it was the wrong model (they sent me one for a motorola).
The new set I bought just broke, this time in under 30 days.
Simply put, do not buy them.
 Wait about 30 days. April 16, 2008

Wait about 30 days. You'll loose sound out of one ear, or the mic and mic button will stop working.
I'm on my second set and amazon won't take another replacement.
They're great earbuds in theory. Good Sound, blocks out noise. I like the over the head. But the Quality of the wires make this a poor buy.
I do like them, when it works. but it breaks too easily
Unfortunately they're the only IPhone earbuds under $20 I've seen at Amazon.
I may buy these again, but with the replacement warranty.
