I have used the Sony MDR-EX51LP and Maximo iM-390 iMetalT. Both of which were comfortable for extended use (just like these) and had decent sound reproduction.
I got this set for a steal (24$) and after 1 week of using them I have concluded that they are the best ear buds that I have ever bought!
The bass is not only adequate, but tight, without being overwhelming.
The mids, which are usually lost with cheap buds are present and clear and the highs are crisp and clear.
There is no distortion even at full volume.
If you think you don’t have enough bass, USE THE BIGGER BUDS PROVIDED.
The click-skip functionally for the iphone works as described (I wish there was a way I would scrub within tracks).
Bottom-line, these come closest to reproducing the sound of my pioneer hdj1000 for a fraction of the price and size. I highly recommend these.
4 Stars Great but too big
These sound awesome for the price but they are a little too big to fit in the ear, even on the smallest ear pieces that come in the package.
4 Stars Good sound for the price
These are a great value for the price. They come with several sizes of ear inserts which make them quite comfortable. The sound is much better than the stock earpieces that come with most equipment and the microphone works well in outdoor settings as well as indoors. These are not comparable to the high buck phones but have an excellent sound for cheap. If you haven’t done so yet, buy a set.
3 Stars could be more durable
i had these for less than a month and the right earbud gave out. while they worked, they had a pretty decent sound. i enjoyed using them because even though they are a bit large, they seem to form to my ear fairly well. the bass response wasn’t as good as the skullcandy ink’d earbuds that i had prior to this pair, but the mids and highs were a little more present. i can live with that because they are designed to work with a music phone (such as an iphone) and voices are reproduced quite well.
had they been more durable, i would not have bothered me. i liked them enough to pay $25, but not much more. please note that i take care of my earbuds and did not abuse them. i don’t know why the one earbud went out, but that is really my only major complaint.
5 Stars Ev’s Evaluation
These are great earbuds! I bought two sets, one for backup in case they wore out quickly, but it’s been over 3 months now and I am still using my first set! They sound great and I have had no problems at all. I would definitely recommend these to anybody who needs a really great set of earphones. I use them at work on my iPod for 8-10 hours per night, and have had no problems whatsoever. Go ahead and buy a pair; you’ll be glad you did.
