The best reasonably priced IEM's
I just bought it today and I am very satisfied with my purchase. All the reviews I have heard said this was a good product when compared to other $50 IEM's. They were definitely right! The cord is made of rope material to provide more durability for people who tend to rap the cord around their mp3 players. The jack is good for small devices, like the Creative Zen V Plus because the jack is small and straight and is not bulky. All the instruments blend well together with the vocals in all songs. Also, the amount of bass is just right for people who listen to rock and even classical music. The bass in contrabass instruments in classical music gives it that live feel without distracting the listener from the rest of the instruments. This does a little better job with rock music as the bass blends better with the other instruments. It lacks a little in the highs, but it still a lot better than standard headphones. For bass lovers, look elsewhere as it will not be enough bass for you.

Fantastic set of headphones...
I avoided in-ear headphones for a long time for a couple of reasons. First, I always found them very uncomfortable as I have sensitive ear canals. Second, I didn't care for their sound reproduction as they tend to be too tinny, generally lousy in the highs, and flat as a board in the lows. I am probably a bit more picky about it than most, but I just want my music to sound good. But I went through probably 4 or 5 different sets of headphones before I came to these. I am extremely pleased with these. The highs are very crisp, and the lows strong. In fact, I was shocked when I heard these, because I had pretty much given up on finding a set of in-ear phones that had any bass at all. Keep in mind, it comes with three sets of inserts, so it is important you figure out which ones fit your ears best. Otherwise, you won't get a good seal in your ear, and the bass will be non-existant. A bad fit will also effectively eliminate the isolating quality of these phones. And like any other headphone that goes in your ear, you'll have to find the right placement. In my case, putting them in too deep kills the bass. But it's not a big deal, and you usually find the right spot within minutes of trying them. The cord is braided, which is a bit of a double edged sword. It's more durable, and doesn't tangle as easily as normal cords. On the hand, they do make a lot of noise when they move around. So these might not make the best phones for working out in. Fortunately, there is a slider you can use to tighten up the two cords around your neck, which pretty much takes care of the noise. I would definately recommend these to anyone. They may seem a bit pricy, especially when you consider all the sub-twenty dollars sets out there. But these are definately worth it. I've been through a lot of different sets of in-ear, and these are far better than any I've heard yet. These even beat out a lot of the over-ear sets I've had. All in all, I'm extremely happy with these.

Pretty Decent headphones
My stock iPod headphones had just lost the sound in one of the ear buds, so I was looking for something that was good and wan't too expensive. These headphones get the job done. They stay in your ears really well if you put the wire behind then over your ear. I recommend these to any runner who is looking for headphones that stay in your ears. Also, one of the great features of these headphones is that their wire is made of a tough and durable rope. I think that the headphone part that plugs into your mp3/computer/anything might be plated in gold, three people who saw the headphones said they were, but I'm not entirely sure. One last thing, the quality is quite good. Overall 4 stars because they are good for anything but they do not have a 90 degree plug.
