Found these on Amazon on a super deal - almost 90% off, and snatched them up. For those with an iPhone/iPod, these are a VAST improvement over the standard earbuds. You will see reviews of these earphones (or a similar model) that will complain about a lack of bass; this is because getting the right FIT is essential to get the best sound. The buds come with 3 different silicone tips for different-sized ear canals. The goal is to get a nice tight "seal" so the sound really resonates in-ear.
Once you get the fit right, these sound GREAT. Highs and mids are clear and bright. I hear breaths, whispers, and layers in my music I had not noticed before. Bass is not overpowering but definitely very smooth and strong - for those who like it skull-rattling, these may not be for you. To me, rock & hip-hop sound great on these, like actual music, not some semblance of music overpowered by the bass line.

Listed at $10,005.97. WTF? Other sites say $54.00.
Judging by other reviews i would guess they are of the 54.00 quality!

... I purchased these on sale for $14.95. For the price, they were great. I needed something that could perform just like my iPhone 3G earphones. I would not pay anymore than 20-25 bucks for these. So, I don't think they're worth the price they're currently at. Especially when there are better quality earphones that are out there for the current price of 60-something dollars, that would offer better quality and in some cases you could find wireless earphones, with mic to answer calls with. One user claims that the sound quality was awful, but I've heard worse and the fact that they give you multiple ear pads give you the ability to change the baffle going into your ear.
