Author's Review
I read other reviews dissing these headphones, and I have to say I've had a completely different experience ... I believe bad reviews on these are because people use them incorrectly. These headphones go in the ear canal, and you need to compress the rubber pieces to get a good deep fit. When properly used, they block external sound better than other phones and sound awesome, far superior in sound quality to stock i-pod phones, and I liked them way better than my old etymotics ... it's a rich, full, nuanced audio experience ... they're also really rugged compared to other headphones, which is a big plus when you're spending $150 ...
