Woodees IESW101B Inner-ear Stereo Earphone

I think these earbuds are very good sound-wise, but with two notable flaws.....

First, here is what's in the box:
* The earbuds
* Small, medium and large size covers four sets of covers
* Detachable clip for attaching the buds' wire to clothing etc.
* Small pouch to store/carry the Woodees.

From a strictly cosmetic sense, these are beautiful. A nice wood finis with some design on them certainly sets them apart from your basic black, white, etc. earbuds. For looks alone, I think they are a notch up on typical earbuds.

Performance is very good. Highs are clean and clear, midranges not distorted even at high volumes, and lows are good. I didn't notice any weaknesses on bass like others mentioned. I did find that these produced sound quality comparable to some much higher priced products. I noticed instrument nuances and sounds I've not really noticed before on some songs even at very low volume. I would rate these...Read more

These are really good sounding earphones for the money. They have a very open and rich sound to them that is the best I have heard in a single element earphone.

Pros:
* Fit - Excellent. Comes with various sizes of ear cushion/seals. I was able to find a set of cushions that fit well.
* Sound - Excellent. Balanced from bass through treble. Has a wonderful stereo image that gives a much more "present" feeling to vocalists and solo instruments than other similarly priced earphones. I have compared them to Apple, J Bud J2, Vmoda Metal, and Koss in ear. They sound much more open and have more airy treble in particular. Overall, very, very pleasing sound
* Comes with a small velvet bag for transport. Most phones in this class don't.
* Build - They look and feel well built. The part of the phone that looks like brass or copper seems like it's actually brass or copper and not plastic. The wood portion is actually wood and is well finished. the cord, plug...Read more

When I first got these headphones I was very skeptical that they would deliver on their lofty claims of sound quality and richness. It actually wasn't until I found the right size silicon ear bud, got them inserted in my ear properly, and listened for about an hour that I started to come around. Now, I don't know that I will be able to enjoy my listening experience without them!

I compared these to the Zune premium headphones that I have been using for the last year. In terms of exterior size and construction, the two pairs of headphones are similar but subtly different. The Woodees are slightly longer but smaller in diameter. Their wood construction and gold accents add a very nice touch of class. The rubber wrapped cord on the Woodees feels nice, but isn't quite as good at avoiding tangles as the cloth cord on the Zune headphones. However, what the Woodees cord lacks in tangle avoidance it makes up in for in the form of a significant reduction in the friction...Read more
