Sennheiser MX 581 earphones

These Sennheiser headphones are designed for listeners with smaller ears

Good sound quality at moderate volume levels, comfortable design that can be altered to suit small or large ears

Sennheiser MX 581 In-Ear Stereo Headphones w/ Volume Control

I mistakenly thought the volume control included in the cord was a remote which would change the songs but it obviously isn't. That might have made the set acceptable but on the whole the set to me is just average and I will probably not use them...
