I have these and they're great (IMO). Very good sound quality, inc. meaty bass. They also isolate you well from your surroundings, good for noisy buses, trains etc.* You even get different sized ear plugs to fit your lugs!

The only downside is the wires seem a little delicate and might be prone to breaking - but I've had my pair for about 5 months now and no probs so far.

In short, recommended.


*Not so good if you're crossing the road - take care...

I tried a pair for a week or so, but had to return them. The overall sound is good (I preferred a little less bass, but that's just a personal preference). Sound isolation is excellent too - beware that you will hear your own footsteps and chewing, etc.

All good, except the treble sibilance was beyond hope - any track that was even remotely sibilant was exaggerated so much that it was literally painful to listen to. In the end, that was the dealbreaker for me, and off back to Amazon it went.
