Compared with headphones come with the iPhone 4S or 5, these headphones have a really good sound. Best of all, you can use the iphone in phone mode, which is not often the case elsewhere. Sound control buttons are accessible and do not fire unintentionally. Do not expect the bass level headphones, but they are very good. They come with pads 3 different diameters, are super comfortable and stay in place when walking.
