ibud fan here
It's kinda of like McDonalds. Yeah their burgers are ok but there's way better choices out there.
Aside from snob factor (not to be disregarded), ibuds get no respect because the bass is anemic and the detail's not all that great. I borrowed my partner's pair for a comparison listen. They're not the worst, but the lack of isolation is really not my cup of tea.
Also they may get trashed because so many Head-fiers have suffered through commutes with some ibud wearer blasting away right next to them.
Ironically, high volume is the best way to mask bad audio.
