"A great product"
Pros: smooth, detailed sound
Cons: reveals the noise floor of my iPod
Summary: I bought these to replace the Apple ear buds that came with my iPod. Huge, huge improvement. They stay IN your ears, are quite comfortable and do a good job blocking extraneous sounds (like the A/C duct above my desk at the office). How to describe the sound? It is really smooth and well balanced - nothing is overemphasized. As a result, it wears well - you can listen to these for hours. As stated by others, they are capable of powerful bass but it is really clean bass. They also reveal everything - including the noise floor of the iPod. My other headphones, which I use at home when it is quiet, are Grado SR60's. I find the UE's close in sound quality and like the Grado's they are very easy to drive. One thing others have commented on are the wires - they are thin but for some reason this doesn't really bother me. Far more important is the fact that UE put connectors on the ear pieces to make replacing the wires easy. As for cost, my philosophy is that for things you use all the time - cars, computer keyboards, earphones, etc... - bite the bullet and just buy something that pleases you.
