Good but I like the older ones better.
Pros: Cute design, awesome sound quality also, their resilience has improved.
Cons: I find they are hard to keep in your ears and earlier models of this design used to lose power over time.

4 important factors
Pros: Fit/Comfort and Sound
Cons: Build and Price
Sound-4 of 5
Build-2 of 5
Price-1 of 5
Fit is probably the most critical, because the sound quality is dependant on the fit and for me they fit perfectly. The new off center form is quite comfortable, but I have a medium to large ear shape. Sound quality is good, especially the bass, although they are not as clean sounding as others. Build quality seems to be one of the weaker points. I am curious to see how long they hold up, if I had to guess I give them a year or less, they just aren't sturdy at all. Unfortunately price is the deciding factor for many people while $29 is affordable these headphones are not a good buy ,all things considered. If you were to find these for $10-15 I would whole heartedly recomend them, but not otherwise.

A good set of buds, I don't see why they keep getting bashed
Pros: NO STUPID WRAP AROUND STYLE, sound good, if you get foam bud covers you get better bass response, stay in ears while jogging/MTBing/Exercising
Cons: you need to get foam covers to get them to stay in your ears, and bring out the bass.
With these, just put them in, no fuss, no muss and they do their job nicely. It isn't fair to compare them to noise cancelling buds because that isn't what they are designed to be. Plus, on a 60 mile road bike ride, I like being able to hear outside noise. I can wear both buds, and still be able to easily talk to my friends while we ride.
I think these things are pretty good if you do it right with the foam covers. They sounds better than the Sony in ear buds I've got.
