I spent some time listening to various mp3 songs on my Samsung GS3 cell phone and here are my impressions.Pros:-Excellent sound quality. The vocals are stunningly crisp and clear. The bass is full. These earbuds do a great job representing high, medium, and low frequencies without any muddiness.-Good build quality. The components are plastic but have an attractive metallic sheen.-Very comfortable in the ear and create a great seal to block out external sounds.Cons:-No case. A small velcro strap is attached to wrap up the cord. You will still having stuff flopping around.-The Left/Right markers are small and difficult to see as they are the same color as the background black rubber. There are many ways in which this could have been done differently to make it easy to distinguish at a glance.Comparison toMoshi Moonrock:-I really like the Moonrocks because of the fantastic case and the very good sound quality. See my review of the Moonrocks for more details.-The Mythro sound quality is better than the Moonrocks because of crisper sound and fuller bass. Unless you are doing an immediate A-B comparison, it would be hard to tell the difference though.-The Mythro have a slightly better ear seal and are more comfortable.-Get the Moonrocks if having a great case is of value to you - this probably applies to the vast majority of users. Get the Mythro if a case is of no value and you just want better sound quality.
