Simply the best, December 24, 2008
This review is from: Sonix 001-0012-001 Sound Isolating Earphones - Silver (Electronics)
I've tried a lot of earphones, from inexpensive to very expensive, and these are truly great sound, great comfort, great value. Hate tangled wires? The nylon wrapped cord actually keeps the wires from tangling. I highly recommend these earphones.

Best Earbuds I've Ever Found, February 11, 2010
This review is from: Sonix 001-0012-001 Sound Isolating Earphones - Silver (Electronics)
I've had 5 or more different brands of earbuds. Nothing comes close to these Sonics for me in terms of both sound quality and durability. The fabric-wrapped main cord is very nice and won't tangle. Please see my review of the Lenntek Pro earbuds--even for a much higher price, the sound is not as good. I haven't tried the really expensive tier of earbuds, like the Shures or the Etymotics, but in the "cheap" tier, these are the best. They have a "presence" that makes you feel like you are in the band or the performance, not watching it from outside. If you can get the Costco coupon deal, they are only $20, but some of the Amazon resellers are very inexpensive as well--$25-30. They are very comfortable with 3 or 5 different sized ear canal adapters for diffent size ears, and they never fall out. There is a new model of the Sonics this year, and some of the sound specs aren't quite as good, but the sound is the same for me. The older model from last year (has a straight-in main plug vice the 45 deg angle plug on the new models) is just flawless. I can't find anything in the same price class that even comes close. Highly recommended.

Good buds, great support, August 3, 2009
This review is from: Sonix 001-0012-001 Sound Isolating Earphones - Silver (Electronics)
First of all, these are not really suitable for running because they are designed to block noise.
The sound quality is not audiophile class, but it's good and the cloth-clad cords prevent tangling.
After about 9 months of use, one side stopped working. To my surprise, the company not only replied to my email asking about the warranty coverage, they sent me a new pair after I sent mine to them for inspection. Best customer service I have had in years.
I paid about $20 for them and would definitely replace them at that price when the warranty expires, but I would also consider buying them at $40.
