Audio-Technica - Earphone - Black

The sound of this pair of earphones is clear, balanced with taut bass, proper level of midrange & treble. Don't expect boomy bass from these earphones. It's pretty easy to fit on my ears and the comfort is OK. The only thing I complain about is the extended cable. It feels a bit bulky when using the extended cable.

I got these on clearance from one of the Magnolia stores. I paid close to $40 for the pair. They are not B&W C5s or a higher end pair of Shure's, but they sound better than anything Beats puts out, and for the price (1/5 the cost of the B&W's), you can't touch these. Don't expect ear shattering bass to muddy up your music like Beats and many others that market to the iPhone generation, but if you want clear, detailed sound, I'd buy these again and again. Only Con is it does not have an inline mic for iPhone use, but who makes phone calls these days... It's the decade of the text message.

I got these because i wanted a set of in ear buds that were of good quality and had noise cancellation. These buds have a great sound to them very clearn mids and highs. The bass can be a little much at times but in most cases with ear buds like these it can be a little boomy. What I really liked most if the interchangable ear pieces. I was able to find the correct one for my ear and they fit perfect. I only gave it 4 stars because they sound good but not the best. But they are good for the price. Also after wearing them for a few hrs it started to bother my ears a little but that could just be me.

For the price, these are an excellent pair of earbuds. So glad didn't go with the beats - these have a much better sound and look to be made all around better. Only thing I would change is the cord- seems to twist and tangle easily.

My previous pair of Sony high-end ear buds somehow got left on a plane, and Best Buy's lineup of 'phones was the best I could readily access. Not seeing my previous model offered, I decided to roll the dice on the Audio-Technica's as the best offering without an infinite pricetag. I listen to several hours of music a day in my work cube, and am quite picky about sound quality... I need everything from power metal to electronica to folk and symphonic to read true. Frankly, it took me some time to make peace with these phones -- their extreme midrange detail was balanced by a not-so-subtle lack of deep bass immediacy. Double-bass percussion is still *audible*, but not as tectonic as I was used to. I experienced appreciable fatigue listening to them when they were brand new, though after weeks of "burnin" they and I seem to have made reasonable peace. I wonder if this all has something to do with ear canal diameter -- I'm using the widest ear tips they included, and the seal is just barely complete. I'm left to conclude that it's very hard to do as well as these 'phones do, and REALLY hard to do even better, and harder yet to afford the results. These are not "the perfect" ear bud, but few people out there will be able to say they've got anything materially better at the price.

Sound is good for the price!!! Fits in the ear perfect without sliding out...

We're using a couple sets of the AT earbuds as in-ear monitors for our church's worship team and they're holding up well. No, they're not equal to a nice set of Shures or Westones or any of the higher-priced actual in-ear monitors, but they deliver acceptable quality sounds and comfort for the money.

The headphones are an excellent purchase. I am big into audio and have done mass research for the best bang for the buck when it comes to headphones and these were totally worth the purchase. Not only did I save 1/3 of m money by not buying beats or Bose, but the quality of sound cancellation is identical. Well worth the value in my opinion!
