Soul by Ludacris SL49

Definitely not worth 70$ I got them on clearance from a staples location in 2013 for around 25$ which is about what they are worth in my opinion. I thought the sound quality was quite good, deep and immersive and a little bass heavy. Build quality in...

Decent mid range and bass response, heavy duty cord

The speaker housing is poorly constructed and came apart. Not the most comfortable ear pieces either, tried all the sizes and even the small ones felt big

Terrible

Same useless garbage as the beats by dre. Get something else. I literally had these for 5 min and than got an RMA. Terrible product get something from a well known audio company and not these "fashionable" products.

None to be honest, worked with my iphone

Did not fit in my ear ; Sounds worse than $9.99 headphones ; No bass ; Too much high

Soul

Won't Tangle ; Amazing Quality ; In-line Mic + controls ; Good cord length (Longer than Iphone headphones)

Sound is a bit basey, but that's because I listen to power metal and these were designed for hip-hop. They still sound great and would recommend for any type of genre

Worth every penny.

This headset works flawlessly with my iPhone 4S. Siri works perfectly and the music sounds fantastic. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for quality headphones. Don't let the price fool you, these sound better than a lot of over the...

Incredible Sound ; Perfect compatibility w/ iPhone 4S ; Great value ; Great packaging and aesthetics

Only complaint is that the size of the ear tips are odd, The medium and large are way too big, and the small is a little too small

Amazing

Again, if you need/want new headphones, these are the ones

Want headphones with amazing clarity, good bass, durable flat cord, inline mic all for 70 dollars? These are a must-have. they outperform the Beats by Dre in-ear buds; most any in-ear buds for that matter. they're comfortable. They haven't tangled on...

They're optimized for Apple iPhones (inline mic). Haven't used it with my Blackberry, but I've heard that other phones CAN indeed use it, but that's not a guarantee. So, if you're buying it for the inline mic, keep that in consideration
