5.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Sound, no joke, July 10, 2002

This is the 4th pair of ear buds I've tried in the past 2 weeks to go along with my mp3 player, and I've finally found what I am looking for. These earbuds have a unique ear pad that fits snug inside your ear so they won't fall out while jogging, but more importantly, the bass on these is amazing. Every other in-ear headphone I tried was tinny sounding, but these have a great range, even in the low frequencies. It must have something to do with the way they extend into your ear. Seriously, if you're going to spend ~20 bucks for some in-ear headphones, these are what you want.

I frequently fly and enjoy riding roller coasters, both endeavors which cause lots of background noise. In looking through an article on noise canceling headphones, I found a review recommending sets with prices as high as a couple of hundred bucks, fine for the plane, not great for coasters, especially Magic Mountain. The review recommended these for the budget minded. I got a pair and have not regretted it. They sound great, no noise bleed through to those seated next to me on planes (staff can't tell their on at take off) and they don't fly out of my ears on the most X-treme rides. I'm buying extras in case they go the way of other favorites I've had in the past, disappair for cheaper made "improved" replacement units. You will not regret spending the cash for these.

I bought these based on the reviews on Amazon. I have to admit to being a bit disappointed. While these earphones are fairly good (better that most stock earbuds) they did not match what people have been saying about them. I found the mid and upper ranges to a bit cold and flat. They were clear, but lacked some dynamics. The bass is almost non-existent. I thought that from these reviews that I'd be wowed. I wasn't.

Don't believe everything you read, try them first. These earbuds are okay, but not of the quality I was hoping for.
