5.0 out of 5 stars This is a good product - good for Creative, July 20, 2006

By	Albeniz (Venezuela) - See all my reviews

Excellent sound, much much much........ better that the one that comes with any players, Zens or ipod.
For those that have ever used safety earplugs in the industry, they feel like them and really isolate the noises.
After that the sound is excellent compare to many others and amazon offers a very good price here.
also good to have 3 sizes. 2 pairs of each + airplane adapter, case, cleaner, very good product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, July 24, 2006

By	Silverspurr (new york city, new york United States) - See all my reviews

Have been using them for a week now.
Incredible sound for the size. Bass is incredible.... mids are accurate, highs are accurate. These are the way to go if you're using an MP3 player. I use them with the Creative ZEN Vision M 30 ("The Ipod killer")

While walking, riding a bus or train in in N.Y.C. seals out external noise amazingly VERY WELL!!!

Pros:
Awesome accurate sound / Incredibly light / don't protrude out of your ears / comes with "2 sets" of three different sizes of silicone plugs / plugs are ultra soft, comfortable and fit perfectly / secure well built storage case / cleaning tool / barely uses battery power! / Not the yup-tard WHITE COLOR.... much cooler BLACK!

Cons: None so far.

I bought them directly from Amazon for $75.99 with "free" 4 day ultra fast shipping.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good product but, some advice...., August 9, 2006

By	S. suarez (Fredericksburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

*Fit fit fit. Take your time and use the plug size that fits your ear best. I used the medium plug and was disappointed with the sound. After switching to the small, which allowed me to insert the units deeper into my ear canal, the sound improvement was astonishing. If you have not used in ear phones before, give yourself some time to adapt. The plugs that come with this unit are very soft and you should tolerate them well after a little familiarization.

*Sound quality is very good. I had to crank up my Zen Vision M with the phones I previously used. With the Aurvanas I find a much lower volume is necessary. Use your eqalizer to adjust these to your liking. I prefer my music on the sweet side with lots of treble and medium bass. These handle that very nicely.

*Sound isolation is excellent, with almost all low frequency sounds completely disappearing. Engine hum, highway traffic, etc are practically gone. The units will allow some high frequency sounds in, which is a plus if you are using these as a pedestrian and want to hear a car horn, ambulance, etc.

*Appearance: These are some good looking phones! Pretty gloss on the driver units, attractive matte grey plugs. The black is very cool and is a standout among all the masses of white corded sheep.

*Case. Nice case that fits easily in a a pocket, purse, etc. It's a little crowded in there if you throw in the cleaning tool. Forget about including extra plugs in there unless you squash them.

*Cool little cleaning unit to clean out gunk. And a word about your ears, I've found that keeping them clean and clear of wax makes for better listening and less of a yuck factor.
