    Pros: Light, Compact, perfect for working out, deep bass and good sound, lifetime limited warrenty, blocks out all other noises

    Cons: Can't just stick them in your ears..have to squeeze and mold them first.

    Summary: After reading the reviews on here and other sites, these seemed hit or miss. Squeeze the "memory foam", put them in your ears, and then the foam molds to your ear canal. I have worn cheap earplugs for hearing protection at the airport before and that didn't bother me after I got use to it so I figured that buying these from amazon for 10 bucks, I couldn't go wrong. What a great buy! If you can wear earplugs then these will work for you. Great sound, they stay put while I run and block out the crappy music at the gym!

    I've had all types of earbuds, and these are the most satisfying. The bass is phenominal, if not overpowering. When you have so much bass, something has to give and it's the treble and midrange, but a good eq and/or the Chu Moy mod can help fix that. I bought the plugs with Etymotic ER4 tips and they sound very good. The bass is so satisfying that I hardly notice the lack of treble, but it's there. These earbuds offer great isolation and are very "Fun" earbuds for people on the go. These are perfect for people who take the bus, or walk down crowded streets as the bass is punchy and full and takes you away from your atmosphere. No, these are not audiophile plugs but they accomplish their mission, to thump in your ear while you taking care of business in the streets. You don't have time to appreciate audiophile-quality plugs while on the move, or in the gym but BASS is easily <br>appreciated while working out to a thumping<br>beat. Take my word for it, nothing in their price range comes close, but they must be MODDED and EQ'ed to sound their best.
