Sound quality as good as any earbuds that I've usedBased solely on the sound quality and comfort, I would have no problem giving the Moshi Mythro earbuds 5 stars. The sound was as rich and clear as any earbuds that I've used, and with both earbuds in my ears, they completely eliminated background sounds. There are three different sizes of earpieces included, so they should fit just about anyone's ears. The anodized aluminum construction gives the earbuds a very solid feel, with confidence that they won't break if something lands on top of them.My only problem is that the product name says that the earbuds are for "all Kindle Fire models." I used them with my Kindle Fire HD 7". I could not get the multifunction mic button to work - it's supposed to control pause/resume and advance/return to previous song in a playlist. The Mythro user's manual indicates that certain functions are supported by Apple iOS devices only. I thought that I may have received a defective unit, but I tried using the earbuds with my wife's iPhone 4, and the button worked fine. It makes me think that Moshi may have designed the earbuds to work with iOS devices, then added the product description "for all Kindle Fire models."In any case, I'm pleased with the earbuds. The sound quality is excellent, they're solidly built, and little touches like interchangeable sized earpieces and the HandyStrap cable manager make the Moshi Mythros a very capable set of earbuds. Just don't plan on using all of the advertised mic button functions with non-iOS devices.
