Very nice

These are among the best ear-buds, and price to match. Cheaper than custom IEMs. I like them alot. There have been some posts b4. The sound is very similar if not identical to the non-clip-ons. Though as I mentioned b4 the clip helps lock in a little tighter so perhaps helps provide a little better seal, once ya get them set, which takes some adjusting til ya find the sweet spot.

Pair with a iPod, iHP etc... and portable amp and you will get some very good portable audio.

I needed the clips to keep them from falling out during inopportune moments, running for a train etc...

As always this is my opinion based on my experiences, your results may vary.

The clip can become tire after a while but not painful just noticeable, but would be at least an hour or two from my experience. After which perhaps your ears could use a break.

Anybody know about the non-bud ones? Just curious...probably not in the market for these things right now...but my little brother has a birthday dangerously close and maybe these would revive his interest in his iPod (he's hardly using it anymore...what a waste)....

with ATH u pay for their fashion, they are actually quite ordinary sounding. most of the clip on ones sound about the same as a koss - 50 / 35 / 75

Ahh, thanks. That's what I guessed. Too bad they're not priced comparably. But considering the looks, I can see how they'd be worth it to the fashion-conscious. CRAZY!

Not with all ATH phones. I dont really know about the clip ons but you cant really be saying you are paying for "fashion" with the A900's or the various higher priced incarnations.
