In the ear, the headphones feel like the apple earbuds and also by the sound quality, there are no differences. That with the magnetic holding together is really a good idea even if others are already think of it earlier. Now Amazon has just taken the magnet, combines the design of Apple and all with a flat cable from the connector to the service. This creates a good mix of many ideas and a great final product. The only complaint is the lack of case or Case as Apple delivers. Then there would be 5 star without this just only. 4
