Pros~Customizable with 3 sizes of silicone ear tips... SS=10mm; S=11mm, and M=12.8mm. Light and comfortable, they fit very well in the ear unlike some ear bud type earphones I've owned in the past. As a matter of fact, all three Moshi In-Ear Headphones (Moshi Moonrock In-Ear Headphones for Kindle Fire HD, Lime,Moshi Dulcia In-Ear Headphones for Kindle Fire HD, White&Moshi Vortex Premium In-Ear Headphones for Kindle Fire HD, I tested are the most comfortable ones I've ever used which includes Sony & Bose.~Cord fastener works well to cinch up the cable and help avoid tangles.~"Tangle-free" cable design works very well. Cable is flat, wide and heavier than most earphone cables and very resistant to tangling and twisting. Also comes with a cable clip so you can further manage the cable by clipping to your shirt.~Integrated click button works seamlessly with Kindle Fire HD & Apple products. For music, the button allows pausing, advancing andrewinding songs. It also provides a microphone and functionality for answering and declining phone calls, as well as a call waiting "flash" feature, though I did not test these.~Carrying case included.Cons~Audio quality is average. Relative to the standard Apple headphones that come with the iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc., these have only slightly better audio quality, mainly a bit better on the low end since they have the silicone tips to seal in the low frequencies. Other than that, I felt the mids and highs were about the same as the standard Apple headphones.SummaryTo establish context for my review, on the scale of the average person to discriminating audiophile, 5 being average and 10 being a hardcore audiophile I'd say my tastes fall at about a 7 or 8. That said, overall, these are a step up from a set of standard Apple headphones in terms of comfort and convenience. They fit well in the ear and I think would be great as a set of working earphones for phone use, as the tangle free cord and clip work well to keep the cable from twisting up into a tangled mess, like so often happens with cheaper headphones. Also, note these do come with a functional carrying case as well. Personally, I wouldn't recommend these headphones for music however, as I just don't see that much improvement over the standard issue Apple headphones to justify purchasing these.3 stars (2 stars for music and audio quality, 4 stars for comfort and convenient, tangle free design. Well suited for frequent mobile phone use)
