Pros
These have great fidelity, with particularly good low end! They're also very good at blocking out external sounds. The price was very good, and I can't imagine finding a better set of buds in this price range. They're better than stock iPhone buds.
Cons
None that I can think of. I've had these for over two months, and they're still going strong. The cord is very good, and the extension cord gives them great length.
Summary
They're a little muddier than my Sennheiser MX 75s, but then they are much easier to wear, stay in the ear better, and don't have the Sennheiser's annoying cord issues.

They're a little muddier than my Sennheiser MX 75s, but then they are much easier to wear, stay in the ear better, and don't have the Sennheiser's annoying cord issues.
These are keepers and - should they break - I'll probably order another pair (I could get five of these for one set of Shure buds!)
Pros
Lightweight, great looking, outstanding frequency response from top to bottom.
Bass is excellent without being boomy. Highs are great, but it is the accurate
midrange which is especially great for jazz, pop, vocals, etc.
Cons
Though I have not had a problem yet, the wiring is very thin. I bought my son
the iM-490's and the right channel went out within a month due to the wire
connection at the plug end. Mine are fine, but I am very careful with them.
Summary
I like these SO much that I am looking at taking some aftermarket "shrink wrap" that is rubberized and beefing up the wiring support at the base of the plug.
