These iems sound great and have become my new daily drivers replacing my triple drivers. The soundstage and separation is what is blowing me away. The multi driver set up is great. The mids and highs are just right without any fatigue. Right now listening to Nick Drake and it is almost perfect.

I think these will become the new king of the low price earbuds. At $50, these are a steal. Compared to the !More triple drivers, these are in a different class and are cheaper. So much more clarity and depth without being fatiguing. I was liking the TRN V80s for a while until I realized the highs were too much for my liking. The KZ has the treble without the pain. Mids are also very present.

These are not for the basshead. Bass is very good for my taste. On Primus' My Name is Mud, the bass is clear and concise. TV on the Radio's Crying comes on strong without the bass drowning out everything else. If you are one for the deep thumping bass, they may not suit you. I like it though.

Overall - Great buy! These have earned a place in the daily backpack! I will be ordering a KZ headset storage box to hold them.

New Head-Fier
Pros: Quick and easy bluetooth connection, Like the audible notification of power on and connection, Lightweight, Comfortable, Wireless,
Cons: Not audiophile sound but for $30, what do you expect, proprietary charger.
Recently got ordered these Mee AudioRunaway on-ear headphones as I had some wellness program points that were going to expire.   I have had the MEE audio M-Duo Dual Dynamic Driver In-Ear Headphones for a while and was happy with them so I decided to give these a try.  In the past, I have shied away from Bluetooth as I have not been able to get consistent connection with my phones. Based upon some positive reviews, I gave these a try.  I must say that I am impressed.  For the price ($29.99 at Best Buy), I couldn't be happier.  Sound is acceptable if not pretty good.  The Runaways are very easy to use with my iPhone.  
 
I currently use these as my commuting go-to as I am on the train and walking in Chicago every day.  For this purpose, they are excellent.  Enough sound isolation that I am clearly able to hear my music and or podcasts while walking in the Chicago Loop.  On the train, they are great for watching movies on Netflix.  The lightweight build is really good while walking.  I do not think they would be the best choice for running as they may fall off.  Comfort level is excellent due to the light weight and the well cushioned pads.
 
Operation of the controls is easy.  Push the power button and immediately get the power on announcement and then immediately announces that they are connected.  Push the power button again and they announce power off.  Volume can also be controlled via the headphone volume buttons or the phone.  Volume by the way is more than sufficient as I already noted that I can hear perfectly over the traffic and noise of the city,(L train crossing overhead excluded!).
 
Power is ample as it seems to last for a couple of days of heavy use.  You also get a battery level announcement when you turn them on.  The one "con" of these headphones is the use of a proprietary USB to 3.5mm charging cable.  Not a major problem however, a standard micro USB would have been easier to replace if lost.
 
Sound quality is acceptable for my current uses. I can tell a difference when compared to my Audit Technica or Creative headphone.  Those also cost much more and are not as portable.
 
Build quality is not bad.  They are made of plastic however seem to be pretty sturdy.  Not too flash, but, they do come in several colors.  They come with the proprietary charging cord, a separate headphone cable for wired use, and a nice carrying bag.  
 
If you are looking for a solid pair of Bluetooth headphones at a good price, these will probably foot the bill.  At this price, I do not have to worry about them getting left on the train or stolen.  You can't say that with your new $300 Beats.

New Head-Fier
Pros: Works well with Apple products, Decent sound, Nice case, Sturdy build, Comfortable fit
Cons: Lots of cable noise,
Recently bought these as I had some rewards points to redeem.  I did not have many options to choose from but thought the Sennheiser would be a good choice based upon the reputation of the Sennheiser brand and also the good reviews of the Momentum line from Sennheiser.  The earbuds came from Best Buy and the retail price was $99.00.
 
Packaging of the earbud is good.  They come with a nice hard zippered case with a plastic insert that can be used to wrap the earbuds.  The insert can also be removed so that you can use the zipper case without the insert.  The case alone is my choice as the plastic wrap is somewhat cumbersome to use.  They also come with a wide range of silicone tips of various sizes.  It would be nice if they came with some foam tips such as Comply.  
 
Out of the box, the earbuds had a nice balanced sound, not too much bass.  I have used them for rock and alternative and they work well for me.  Probably would not be the choice for bass heavy rap or EDM.  They sound good but are not outstanding especially for the $100 price.  My $40 VSonics beat these hands down.
 
Comfort wise, they are good.  Despite the metallic appearance, they are light and comfortable.  Should be no problem to wear all day.  Shirt clip is included and actually was useful.  90 degree 3.5mm plug is sturdy and also small so that it is not hindered by phone cases.  
 
The Apple version comes with an inline control which works with the iPhone.  There is also an Android version available.  The buttons on the inline control are a little hard to control by feel as the raised buttons are hard to discern by touch.  
 
My main complaint with these earbuds is the cable noise.  That problem is enough to make me not recommend them over other earbuds.  Walking with these earbuds is so distracting that you can hardly focus on the music due to the cable noise.  Using the shirt clip helps some but not enough.
 
I really wanted to like these but after using for a week or so, I cannot say that I do.  I have put them away and gone back to my Mi Pistons as my daily drivers.  The Momentums will not be a keeper but a pass along to the kids.

For far less money, there are much better options available.  The Mi Piston 3 sound just as good or maybe better and have no cable noise.  I could get 5 pairs of them for the price of the Momentums.
