Great sound, sleek look and awesome value!
I purchased these ear buds during a sale for $119 and they've certainly proven to be an excellent product and value. The sound is rich and detailed. Their glossy black metal construction is such an impressive difference from all the cheap feeling plastic ear buds on the market. Make sure you try the different sized ear tips to get the best fit. Bottom line - this is a highly recommended product for people looking for IEMs with great sound, sleek design and a reasonable price.

Amazing sound, decent fit.
So this has been my third set of headphones in the span of half a year and I am blown away with the quality. Pro: -The sound quality is very rich, sometimes it is heavier on the bass and becomes over-powering, but it's only been more noticeable with the metal genre. Otherwise, the high's are perfect and the mid's leave nothing to be desired. -The build quality feels fantastic. No cheap plastic feel or low quality rubber inserts. -They stay in quite well, I have used them in normal daily walking, as well as at the gym and they have yet to fall out. Cons: -They would be much better with tangle-free wires. It's slightly a nuisance to have to keep unraveling them when you set them down for a little while. -The loops to secure in the ears don't stay the set size as well as you would hope. They stay in well enough but sometimes feel loose. May have been better with ones that you can swap, though being able to adjust on the go has some perks. Overall, after using various Sony, Klipsch, Beats and other odd brands, these are my favorite thus far. The overall sound quality for a huge variety of music is crisp and clean and does not sound distorted. While the fit isn't perfect with the loops getting loose, they stay in quite well and I am very pleased with the C5 S2 headphones. 4.5/5 would be a more accurate option.

Best in-ear headphone for its class.
I think this is the best in-ear headphone in its class. For ths class--the price range $150-200 and dynamic driver, nothing could out perform than this one. I admit this does not have truely balanced sound, but I enjoy its boosted bass becasue the mids and highs are still clear with its boosted bass. So if you use this in noisey places such as outside, you actually get pretty balanced sound because all the noise decreases c5 s2's bass. Also, the fit is just perfect to me. I enjoy listening to this while commuting to school.
