Pros: Relatively inexpensive, great isolation, excellent soundstage and mids, good bass, detachable cable

Cons: Some issues with the cable(below)

Pros:

  • Quite cheap (I paid £69)
  • Soundstage is fantastic at this price
  • The detachable cable is a great addition at this price point and ensures a much easier repair if the cable fails.
  • The provided foam tips are incredibly isolating and not exactly cheap if you try and buy them separately!
  • Wonderful for vocal music, mids are very good.
  • Surprisingly bassy, it's not overpowering, but it's certainly there and is quite detailed. Possibly too much bass for some.
  • No sibilence in the highs.

 

Cons:

  • The cable to earbud connector is fragile. Don't take the cables off without good reason.
  • No memory wire for the section of cable that goes over the ear, while whatever they are using is decent, it's not great and pretty much ensure I need to have the cord keeper zipped up to my neck to keep the earbuds properly hooked in.
  • Highs roll off a bit too sharply for my liking.

This is interesting, although I wouldn't call $100 cheap for this. Imo cheap for this would be $50. It is on my watch list, and if it is ever available at a good discount I might buy it.
