Have the headphones now for 2 days and since they are almost in constant use. I use them on the bus / train, or even if I'm out walking. I'm really excited about what the do. Comparing to my 160 Bang & Olufsen you can clearly decide for themselves (at least as far as my sense of hearing), because the B & O sounds like an old kitchen radio. They are nice and loud, offer a clear sound and powerful bass beautiful. Statements about resolution, frequency response, sound stage and what it still gives everything, I can not meet, therefore am I not ;-) audiophil enough .. I like powerful bass without distorting good volume and heights that do not hurt her ears badly , And all this provides the listener. For better sound and more bass I recommend the Comply Foam Tips Model 400. This is also the attenuation of ambient noise improves. The cable is nice and long and the remote control is working properly on the iPhone. The often criticized here noise of the cable when it rubs against clothing, I think now is not overly distracting. Again, I had already made worse experiences. But is probably also depends on the area of operation. I use it mainly in bus and train, so sitting. For quiet listening to music while running, he might not be the best choice. The advantage of the textile sheath of cable that you can untie it much better prevails here but for me. It also makes a more robust impression than thin plastic sheaths. Overall fit and finish I find ok, the top optics. A star deduction there but for your pocket. The first place is very narrow dimensions because you have already a little plug, and second pushbuttons are there off that are damn hard to close. And there lies just happens to the listener in it on the one then exert the pressure that always leaves a bad feeling. Velcro or magnetic clasp would be safe here, the better alternative. For me it's the best ever total earphones and in this lower - mid-priced secure a top product.
