It could be much worst. Apple is of course notorious for its audio products but let's wait until we get the chance to try. I recall the 1st gen iPod wasn't terribly popular either. I actually consider it a huge FAIL. I hope they redeem their sonic department. (Even if it's likely to be third party's work).

About 10% of people that you describe (happy with the quality) actually still have them. The others have been happy but they have broken through normal use.

Just putting it out there...

Lightning Review: New Apple In-Ear Headphones

Gizmodo review up. Not too promising. "the SE110s are superior in almost every category, from bass, to high end clarity".

Their bit about isolation was confusing. I'm not sure Giz is a source I trust about audio matters. Looking forward to hearing from people on here. And maybe iLounge...

Too bad I just ordered a pair of W3s. White is my favorite color. And I'm not racist.
