Perfect for the audio enthusiast on a budget

These ear buds are amazing for the price. They surpass the skullcandy full metal jackets i replaced easily. The bass response is incredible. Its very strong but not at all overbearing. There is a very nice balance of the overall sound. The noise isolation is on par with most other ear buds in this price range. Nothing to brag about at least. The comfort they brag about is actually really good. After listening to these for a few hours I didn't have any discomfort and when i took them out it didn't feel like I had been wearing ear buds at all. Mine came with 3 sets of different tips although i've seen it say it comes with 4 other places but I only use 1 so i don't care. My only concern is that the cord seems a little flimsy and the case they came with isn't that portable. They do come with a 2 year warrenty but after reading the specifics it seems like they don't really intend on you being able to return these unless there is a serious manufacturer's problem. In my opinion its not a selling point. If you have a cowon s9 and are looking at these headphones I can personally tell you that these sound outstanding with it. I've actually converted iPod and Zune owners to cowon with the s9 and these headphones in combo. If you aren't getting the sound you think they should have at first try the larger tips. They give a better seal for me even though I've always used medium tips with all my other ear buds. The right seal makes a HUGE difference!
