First the sound quality: excellent ... especially considering its price. There are probably better, but compared to other intra, that's good. The port is very comfortable. The helmet stands on up and does not fall. The different sizes of tip delivered allow to adapt to any morphology. The soundproofing is decent, but filtering is not total: attenuated environment how we perceive what may displease. For me, a good compromise. Too insulation = danger. No need to increase the sound too, but we manage to collect a scream, a horn ... great ride. The cord system is very nice. First part 70 cm and an extension of 80 cm. Simple, practical and effective. The thread seems to me quite against "soft", I have some reservations about the medium term is resistance. The aesthetic is rather discreet. No bling-bling and flashy colors. It does not attract the attention in transport ... a chance to keep longer :-) The last addition; small pouch comes with rigid, providing good protection of all in a backpack ... In short: I am very satisfied.
