these earbud have be in my save shopping cart for a while , and previous to have finally purchase they I purchase the highly acclaimed Klipsch s-4 's which have not disappoint with they excellent fit and sound . they be truly exceptional . well , when the price of the Boqari 's drop below $ 25.00 I have to bite , so-to-speak . I think , even if the negative review be support -lrb- and some of they be scathing -rrb- then the Boqari 's would be relegate to occasional use , like listen to a dialogue-filled movie or youtube video . all they would need to do be have decent mid-range capability and feel comfortable . well , when they arrive in a very nice box , zippered leather case and replaceable bud to fit a child up to a elephant I think , wow , now that be a nice presentation at least . but it be the sound that be most surprising , even without the recommend burn-in period . it be solidly coherent from top to bottom , and the midrange be clear . if I could envision a frequency response curve it would be even and not ragged , with no discernable peak over-emphasise one or another part of the sound spectrum , and as I say , this be my immediate impression after have use the klipsch s-4 's few month . though I still prefer the Klipsch 's -- which have only get better with use -- I be also mightily impressed with these Boqari 's , especially at the price I pay . I must admit , however , there be not enough feature which would warrant the msrp of $ 299.00 ; that be , unless it be sell at a exclusive Beverly Hills or NYC Boutique , but even those who can afford to pay that much for earbud would enjoy the sound they produce . at 1\/3 the msrp or lower , these be a great deal , and at 1\/6th they be almost a no-brainer .
