good but still not good enouth
ok to explane where i am in relation to the in ear monitor world, i have owned 3 pairs of etimotic resurch ER6i's then i got these, then i got some ultimate ears metro.fi 100's and i have just orderd some Westone UM1's the only headphones out of that list (exculding the Westones which havent even arived yet) which havent broken are these. i dont try and kill the things they just tend to break, i think when durability is concearned you need an L shaped jack rather than a straight up one.. these have that and a very beafy one!
working up from the gold plated heavy duty jack leeds on to quite a thick wire
this then leeds on to another beafy Y shaped link to split the wire, the two wires are then held together by a transparent plastic cover..thing this is to keep excess wire tidied away.
then mooves up to the join to the headphones, again well build and well designed i carnt see any of that part and indeed the headphones breaking within the warentie period.. which by the way is two years!
the headphone wire passes over the ear and then the monitors fit in to the ear kindove side ways.. so they dont stick out too much (i like this because they fit nicly under ear difenders! and dont get knocked out at all)
i am obviosly used to in ear headphones and i find them very comfortable! . they take a little getting used to but after a few weeks of good but slighly strange use you forget they are there and you think how the hell did i manage with normal headphones!
if you are woried about fit these have the widest selection of ear tips included in the kit i have seen! it realy is very nice and you can spend forever selecting what works best for you!. this will result in better comfort better sound and better isolation!! :)
so its all good!
so a nice durable pair of headphones. i havent been blown away by sound quality base or clarity to tell the truth. although i am no sound expert. by brother however is and he absolutly loves the sound these things pack out! .. so shure must be doing sumthing right!
the only problem i have with them is the thick ness of the wire. it is not quite as cofortable as a thiner wire would be. and also the Y join is rather large. it can look abit like you have a third nipple if you were them under a shirt.
other than this a very nice and durable pair of headphones!!

Durable and effective - an investment
I've had a pair of these for a few years now and they have proven very durable. I bought them as an upgrade to my early model i-river to make use of the superior sound quality - and they are highly effective. This is a serious piece of kit. When travelling on the train etc. you can listen to any type of music - including classical, without the train rumble or chatter interrupting, as they fit very snugly into your ear and keep everything but the music out. And because of the fit and the way the music is delivered into your ear they are a lot safer too - you don't have blast up the volume to get what you need. And of course they don't broadcast what you're listening to everyone else around - you can only hear them when they're right up to your ear.

Take it from someone who's had these some time now and is still happy - they are quality, and built to last.

Amazing, for £25!
Great earphones, cut out nearly all other noise. 2 year warranty if anything decides to go wrong. Great for the gym as won't fall out. Look so much more like you know what you are listening too than those pathetic white 'i got an ipod' earphones! Think I got a great deal for £25 from Amazon a while back as they seem to be over £50 now. Much better than the standard sennheiser ones I used to use.

Good earphones but don't do the distance given the money
I just wanted to reiterate what others have said - great earphones and do everything they claim but the plastic cable broke/tore needlessly (possibly due to the cold). Frustrating.


review by: Shiny72 date: 2008-04-24 rating:
Very short lifespan
I echo all the comments already made about how good these 'phones fit and sound but I only had mine for 6 months before both cables split just where they pass over the top of the ear. It's all very well having a good returns policy (I'm currently waiting to find out how good it is!) but surely making the product more durable in the first place would be a better option. Disappointing.
