overall , the quality of these earbud be very good . they seem very sturdy and the build quality be great . the bud themselves look rather plain to I , but the remote look pretty good . the issue of a noisy cord be something that will happen to most earbud out there , so nothing unexpected there . -lrb- use the clip help a lot . -rrb- the 45 degree angle of the plug be a nice feature and the remote work well with my ipod touch 4g . the package I get come with ear-hook that seem to work well , a nice v-moda brand pouch , and a four different size of tip that should work for most people out there . the earbud fit my rather large ear canal snugly and overall be comfortable . in term of the sound quality , these will definitely beat the quality of the basic white ipod earbud as well as most basic earbud . the bass be heavy , and boom . personally , I feel it overwhelm , but some people prefer that . -lrb- I 'll definitely be use these while listen to some dubstep though ; -rrb- . -rrb- however , -lrb- it could be the powerful bass , but -rrb- I feel as if the treble be only alright . the high just be not as clear as they could be and seem a bit muddle to I . I be compare these to the first generation of  lady Gaga Heartbeats In-Ear Headphones -lrb- Rose Red -rrb-  -lrb- the remix do beat the Heartbeats in overall bass power , but , again , I personally prefer the bass not to overwhelm too much . -rrb- to summarize , pro - great build quality and durability - remote work nicely -45 degree plug be nice - Bass be powerful con - Treble be only average
