"Amazing performance from a small package" on by nosotros213
Pros: Bass that can be HEARD, clarity even at higher volumes, crisp mids
Cons: thin cables can tangle if left in a pocket, the "modawrap" is ok but twists the cable and does not protect
Summary: Before I read the reviews and decided to buy these earphones, I had bought (and later returned) the Sennheiser mxc 90 and Shure E2C. The Sennheisers had great design but the sound was lacking. The Shures were awesome and I loved the noise isolation for my bus commutes, but the deep in-ear got uncomfortable after an hour of listening and not on par with the higher quality products they offer. I mainly listen to R&B, hip-hop, and rock. For my first impression, I was blown away. It sounded like I was in my car with the 12" sub in my trunk backing up my music. The bass from an 808 is rich and deep, finger licks from Flea are sound crisp and defined, but most importantly it sounds great across the entire sound spectrum. I found that the "treble boost" setting on my iPod gives a nice balance to the bass. These earphones are for those who prefer the portability of earphones but demand bass and top sound quality from their music without having to shell out three digits to get it. It took me about 2 years but I think I found earphones that cater to my needs.

"Absolutely Incredible!" on by RandyWill
Pros: Good sensitivity, clean sound.
Cons: None, nada, zilch
Summary: These earphones are incredible! I use them with a Zen Nano Plus MP3 player. The sensitivity of these earphones allow me to turn my volume setting down because they play louder and the sound is crisp and clean. I also reset my EQ, lowering the bass to balance the sound spectrum. This is the best set of earphones I have ever heard for this price. If you are looking for a good set of earphones at a reasonable price, this is it.

"If you are just into bass heavy music this is it, if not look somewhere else..." on by jefjojo1013
Pros: Awsome well defined bass, a plus for rap, hip-hop.
Cons: The mids and highs are not very detailed.
Summary: When my Sony Fontopia's broke I was left out cold with the mediocre apple earbuds. I decided to buy another set of earbuds, and was thinking to going back to the Sonys beacause of the good soud quality they provide. But then I saw the cnet review of these and thought well I should get them since they are cheaper than the sonys and cnet gave them an editors choice award. Big mistake...
The review that the Cnet editors give is very good and informative but I shouldve paid more attention to the part "audio purist". They really lack good highs. They are unbeatable on the lower end and I really like this about them, but the just leave you hanging for more detail and I like the details on music.
If you are looking for balanced sound then this is not it!! Look away and never look back ! They are not crisp. But if you are just looking for bass heavy then welcome these to your home.
Note: These earplugs might do a better job if you have an mp3 player that has manual EQ that way you can get more clear highs out of it.
Oh and one last thing, the construction is very cheap Look elsewhere for a more sturdy construction.
Im going to try out the CX300 from Sennheiser, I've read good reviews from them. -
"great sound quality but bad durability" on by ddrbenny
Pros: great sound quality and great for bass heavy music
Cons: not durable and a little bass heavy
Summary: while they lasted the quality was awsome. music was just... better with them. they were great at canceling noise also. after 3 months they stopped working for no reason though. i think it had something to to with the base of the cable because when i put it in my pocket a lot. i don't regret buying them considering they were only 50 dollars but i was mad that they didn't last very long

"good sound, poor durability." on by cjmbmd
Pros: i liked the sound. they fit well when not running.
Cons: not great for running. broke in 2-4 months, despite being well cared-for.
Summary: this is my first pair of decent headphones, so i guess that diminishes my credibility somewhat. however, i did enjoy the sound of these headphones. i used them primarily for running and at the gym. i listened to a variety of music and thought the headphones sounded pretty good, not great, a bit muddy at times.
my primary criticism is the durability. my girlfriend and i take great care of our stuff. despite that, wearing the phones only 30-60 minutes per day for running or the gym, her headphones broke within two months, mine in four (the warranty is 30 days). i consider this unacceptable. one of the earpieces cut out intermittently due to a problem with the connection at the plug/wire interface.
the second complaint is that the earphones don't stay too secure while running. they don't fall completely out, but do require frequent adjustment to keep the sound-isolating quality and the good sound (yes, i tried the different earpieces).
incidentally, my girlfriend uses an ipod nano, i use the iaudio u3.
hope that helps.
