Personally, I hate most in ear headphones now because they are all those gummy earbuds that make your ears feel clogged when you wear them. I've been looking for earphones of a higher quality for a while, and when I came across these I thought I'd give them a chance. I wouldn't recommend them if you have small ears, because they're fairly large, but the sound quality is phenomenal and they are very stylish and comfortable. Now I can listen to my everyday music with nearly the same quality as when I track at my home studio.

Musical Background:

8 Years of Playing and 3 years of Recording

Musical Style:

Anything with a "core" at the end of it, some indie/post-rock, and classical.
