This box set of the great "Satchmo" is fantastic.. In case you didn't see this in the news even Elvis Costello could not recommend his new box set due to the high price charged by his label and on his blog, Costello called the price of his box set "either a misprint or a satire" and found himself "unable to recommend" the collection. Rather, he suggested you buy Armstrong's Ambassador of Jazz set for your musically-inclined loved ones. As Costello argued, it's cheaper ($149.99), comes in a "cute little imitation suitcase," and features albums from "one of the most beautiful and loving revolutionaries that ever lived." Just in case you didn't get the whole Louis-is-better-than-me-in-every-conceivable-way memo, Costello also added, "Frankly the music is vastly superior."
I took the advice of Elvis and I'm very happy..

Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not... -
I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90... -
Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.
