Amazon has to do something about paid reviewers!

[Kablooie]

I looked up earphones with a mic sorted by average review and got over 15 pages of cheap 5 star earphones.
If you check any one of the reviewers they have given 5 stars to every single review they've submitted.
Some products had over 50 5 star reviews, obviously all paid for.

This makes the reviewing system completely worthless and makes it very hard to find a product that people actually liked.

I didn't have the option to block 5 star reviews or to jump ahead 10 pages so I had to just give up looking.

1. Agreed. I've become disappointed in the Amazon "rating" system. nt

2. Yes, that would make their reviews rather worthless.

4. Rubbish.

I searched Amazon for 'earphones with mic' sorted by average review. Top rated =

4.7

with 27 reviews.

7. I exaggerated in that the top one had 47 5 star reviews, not 50

But I tried again and got the same results.

8. Same holds true for all 14 earphones listed on the first page

100% 5 Star reviews. That's disappointing and something I've never seen before.

I suppose it's exactly the kind of item they'd give away in return for a review, though.
