SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: I'm a drummer so I naturally want a clean top end to hear the mix but a solid low end to be able to hear the kick and bass. These ear buds provide both. With the dual drivers you get clean top end and lots of bass without distortion. I love them. Feature: The accessories are handy. I'm glad they provide a pretty good selection of ear buds. Replacement ear buds seem hard to find as of yet... Ease of Use: The ear buds are easy to use, have a memory wire in the first inch of wire out of the ear bud to help wrap around the ear. They twist into the ear to get a good solid fit. The plastic in the actual ear bud is a bit larger than the Shure E-series buds, so finding a good fit with the included ear piece jackets is essential. Quality: These are one of the only types of ear buds that you can replace the wiring on. They simply unplug from the ear bud and can be swapped out with a replacement wire for about $20. Value: Pricey but worth it.

Sound: The quality of audio is great, but the high end (3kHz and up) is a bit to loud "boosted" for my liking. I know others that own them as well and that is also their only complaint. Feature: Came with all what you would expect from a higher end set of in-ears. Although I never use the included limiter, it lowers the volume output by too much. Ease of Use: I love the memory wire, I never have a problem with getting a great tight fit. It'd be nice if the end of the wires (near the plugs) were color coated, but that's me. Quality: It is my second pair but that is only because I lent them to a friend and he blew one side (no clue how, I've never even come close!) Value: For the quality of what you get, it is well worth the price! I wouldn't settle for anything cheaper. I've had many models of in-ears and this is only set of dual-drivers that you can get for this price. Overall: All in all a great product! I've convinced at least 4 of my friends to pick up a pair for themselves. You can't get an equal set of dual-driver in-ears for anywhere close to the same price.

Sound: The sound quality of these is fantastic. I use them with my Ipod Nano during athletic events and the cover the full range nicely. Feature: I've tried serval types of earbuds because I compete in triathlons and need them to stay in my ear while running and cyling. The metal wire wraps around the ear and so the ear bud does not need to stay jammed in the ear canal. I've never had them fall out. This is a great feature. Ease of Use: I can adjust my Ipod to any type of music and the ear buds handle it great Quality: I've own mine for over tow years and have had them all over the planet. I have found them to be durable and reliable. Because I use them during athletics, I've noticed thw wire starting to rust due to sweat but there has been to difference to the sound or functionality. Value: They are expensive but if you are active and what super high quality sound with an earbud that stays put, do yourself a favor and grab a pair of these babies!

Sound: Amazing.. really well balanced, good depth in the mids, and the bass is deep and punchy. Just make sure you have them inserted correctly... you must create a seal and that means pushing them into your ear canal a bit. Feature: Good selection of tips, attenuator/limiter cable for stage use, and two different carrying cases ( soft/hard ). Ease of Use: Stick 'em in your ears, the wire ear loops really help to stabilize them. Quality: Seem very durable, cable is tough AND replaceable should anything ever happen. Value: Fairly expensive, but worth it.
