5.0 out of 5 stars Nearly perfect, August 10, 2006

By	B. Glaser (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After YEARS of trying to find a pair of earbuds that sounded great, stayed in my ears and didn't cost hundreds of dollars, I think I've found them. These earbids have excellent sound, and there's really nothing else out there like the "twist to fit" thing. Once you get the hang of them, the earbuds go in and stay put, in a much less intrusive way than foam or silicone inserts.

My only complaints are: 1) the asymmetrical cord is not my favorite style, but it's not a deal-breaker; 2) the cord does not straighten out easily (ie, the coiling from the packaging doesn't go away after you unpack them); 3) the prong that keeps the earbuds in place can get a little uncomfortable with extended use (but it's not really all that bad).

Other than that, I've found the sound to be rich and warm and I can't get over how solidly they stay where I want them to stay!

4.0 out of 5 stars Too good for ear-bud headphones, August 22, 2006

By	Aleksandar Krumov "leftismer" (Bulgaria) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered these for my iRiver H10 and really expected a lot for that price, but what I got was even more than I expected.
The looks, the accessories and the oppurtunity to make them really custom as it comes to fitting any ear form, that's fantastic.
As it comes to the sound, it is just terrific!!! With the twist-to-fit-system and the sennheiser bass system you get an incredible sound that usually doesn't come with earbud headphones. I am afraid these can compete with big headphones that cover the whole ear; unbelievable:)))
And just a minor hint: if you buy these be carefull what you do while wearing them cause the they are hook shaped and they try to get hold on anything around them; if you are not aware of this fact you might easily tear them apart!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, my quest for the perfect earbuds is over!, July 19, 2006

By	David Brower "Rimspoke" (Wake Forest, NC, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just got these headphones today, and they are, quite simply, the best earbuds I've ever used. They come with a total of 19 interchangable parts to ensure that they fit your ears perfectly. They're a bit uncomfortable going in/coming out, but once they're in, your in for a very comfortable music experience. The bass in these earbuds is much stronger than the other earbuds I've tried, and the sound quality is likewise much stronger than most other earbuds. My only problem with these earbuds is that the cord is asymmetrical, with about an extra foot for the right earbud (of course, some people like this feature, so this would be a plus for them)

Pros
Sound quality, comfort, stays in your ears

Cons
Asymmetrical cord

Bottom Line
4 stars if you don't like asymmetrical cords
5 stars if you do

Buy these headphones unless your prone to losing them, or you don't use headphones very often (they aren't worth the forty dollars if you use them once every six months, but are a bargain if you use them constantly).
