4 star rating based solely on price.

 

Your average, run-of-the-mill earbuds. But these have in-line mic & volume control. They leaked a bit. I found the sound to be on par with the Skullcandy Titans. These would be great for the gym. The bass was nice and thumping. Everything about these...

Looks, price

Durability, but 2 yr. warranty should quell fears

Interesting... But...

 

I got this pair for Christmas and was thoroughly surprised. I wasn't expecting much though for a $40 set with a remote, which is extremely nice to have, I was expecting a better change than the stock iPhone headphones.... And there was change alright....

Microphone Quality is Good, Great Overall Comfort, Buttons Work Well, No Overbearing Bass

Cheap Material, Extremely Harsh High Frequencies (mainly "ess" sounds so around 5kHz), thin cables
