Design and Build

Pros:

• "Very classy packaging, precisely engineered box, and moreso the zippered clam shell storage muffin."
• "The wooden design makes the inexpensive IEM’s feel and look rather premium."

• "The wood and metal give them a very unique and classy look."

Cons:

• "The cable for the left earphone is starting to split, seemingly from the cable somehow getting twisted up inside the cord."
• "The audio cable had detached from one side of the speaker."
• "The wire where the male end connects to the phone split open, and headphones became inoperable after the first day's use."
• "The wire coating has twisted up and cannot be untwisted. The wire inside the coating has now broken through."
• "From speakers failing to earbud assembly falling apart while in-ear, to bad controls, these things have turned into junk."
• "The black stress reliefs... broke off in just a couple of weeks at the point where they meet the actual headphone."
• "The piece that goes into the computer bent inside my bag slightly and it won't go into any jack anymore."

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "These are sturdy and fit very nicely in my ears."
• "The silicon ear piece lasts longer than ones made with foam and seal better too."
• "Really like the fact that the rubber inserts really do stay in my ear without constant adjustment."
• "They are comfortable to wear, stay in my ears well and have a very nice sound."
• "These buds really fit comfortably and snugly inside my ears."
• "The inter-changing earbuds allows for a great fit inside my ear."
• "They fit well in my ears, having chosen the correct size from the assortment of silicone ear tips they provide."

Cons:

• "I tried all the ear buds that came with these and none of them comfortably fit inside my ears."
• "The microphone is also quite good."
• "I wish these came with the narrow, angled buds like my other pair."
• "They are just broken out the package almost half the time, or before a month is even up."
• "These are very big and heavy earbuds so they stick way out of my small ears and essentially fall out constantly."
• "I tried a couple earbud sizes, but could not get these to stay in my ears."
• "My only 'but' on these is that despite changing the rubber tips out, they still don't want to stay in my ears."
