I buy these after read a article about someone loose a in ear head phone in they ear . so my goal be to move away from my ibeat ear bud and still have decent quality . these head phone deliver . the sound be very nice , with good deep bass . I can turn up my music to the max and not get any distortion . I have slight hearing issue from when I be younger . I get a buzz sound if I listen to anything remotly loud . I have not have any issue with these , even at full volume , and I believe it be due to the high quality of the sound . I love the look of these head phone . I be not a fan of the flashy big head phone with the name plaster for all to see . these be clean look and I do not feel like a DJ wear they . they fit really well , and this be from someone with e big head . if I have one complaint , and it be a minor one , it would be that the mic and control button be a little high . it sit right at my neck , so if I want to change track , or pause I have to reach a little high . also , I know it say it control iphone , but it work just fine with my HTC Rezound .
