Summary: Not a good product. 2009-01-08
Comment: Wow, I guess I am totally different from the other five reviewers that gave this product FIVE stars.
This is not a $100+ product:
1. Doesn't seat in the ear securely.
2. A lot of audible friction when cords touch your clothing.
3. Sound quality is not comparable to others in the same category.
THIS SELLER DOES NOT ACCEPT EARPHONE RETURNS (at all)
Unfortunately I am stuck with mine, but you don't have to.
Apparently there is a small print in their "60-Day no questions asked" return policy that I missed.

Summary: Comparing Earbuds under $100 2008-02-05
Comment: Here on Amazon, I have been on a week-long mission reading various reviews to find some "great sounding earbuds" for under $100. I primarily use them for the gym and also for traveling. I had a set of the Sony MDR51s but after 2 years of constant use the cables started to fray.
Therefore, I purchased the earbuds listed below to compare sound quality. I would rank them in this order:
1. Audio Technica ATH-CK7 ($89)
2. Sony-MDR81 ($32)
3. Shure-SE110 ($99)
4. V-Moda Bass-Frequency ($25)
The ATH-CK7 was by far the best sounding earbud. The sound quality was great! The ATH-CK7s have a tight sounding bass with some slight "boom" factor (which does not sound artificial). As well as clear highs and solid midrange. They also have good noise isolation.
The ATH-CK7 are a good compromise between the very neutral (boring) sounding professional quality Shures's and the lower priced "artificially-produced bass heavy" Sony and V-Modas. Overall the ATH-CK7 sound quality is clear and precise with a natural sounding bass response. If you do not have much $$$ to spend I would go with the Sonys if you don't mind the thin, strange asymmetrical cables. The sound quality is good for the price.
With the ATH-CK7, you get the usual extras - a vinyl pouch and 3 different sized earbuds. The cables are medium sized and not "thick" like the Shure's or thin like the Sony's. As a previous reviewer mentioned the titanium body of these headphones feel solid and well made.
I am very happy I compared a few brands because the differences are huge! I hope this helps with your purchase.
BTW... I am not quite an audiophile but I do enjoy good quality sounding music. I mostly listen to rock when using earbuds.

Summary: The absolute BEST canalphones! 2007-07-08
Comment: I have owned the CK7 (which is made in Japan!) for about a year now and I am still blown away each time I use them. I have owned about 20-30 other canalphones and the CK7 is my absolute favorite. The highs are sparkly and beautiful, the midrange presence is fantastic, and the bass has great impact without being "boomy" or overwhelming. These are fast little canalphones and are great for rock or metal since they can keep up with a double bass. I also use them to listen to Jazz and classical music. On a high quality recording you can even make out the impact of the piano keys or the fingers strumming the guitar strings. Wind instruments have a fantastic airy quality, usually only found on far more expensive headphones or speakers.
The CK7 comes in a beautiful titanium housing that looks great and really protects the delicate drivers inside. I take good care of my electronics but they still tend to get tossed around since I use them almost every day. The CK7 has held up extremely well and looks as good as new.
Also of note is that the CK7 has a "Y" shaped cord unlike the "J" cord which is popular with manufacturers these days but generally not with consumers.
All in all anyone looking for an amazing pair of earphones with fantastic sound and decent isolation should check these out. You will not be disappointed.
Just note that directly out of the box the CK7 can sound a bit harsh or shrill. Give them some time. The drivers need to be burned in, and after a few days of use they will really come into their own. You may want to let them play overnight before using them the first time.

Summary: Excellent Earphones 2007-04-17
Comment: I've owned these earphones for about 3 weeks now, and they're quite nice. They dont have that artificially colored bass sound you'd normally get with some IEM's. The sound is flat, and seem to represent the range of sound, as they should. Bass is there, but not overbearing, unless of course the music intends it, i.e. Pop, Electronic. The highs are crisp and clear. They are very comfortable and I have fallen asleep with them many times so far. Sound great with the 80GB IPOD. However, you need to turn the volume up rather high. An educated guess is, you'd benefit from an headphone amplifier.
