I really didn't like these headphones. At all. To make sure I wasn't crazy, I had my husband (who likes in-ear headphones more than I do) try them too and he agreed. Because of the vacuum seal, I actually had to take one ear piece out for a long call.Short version:- Sound is decent.- Fit is weird and uncomfortable.- Materials are ok but feel cheap.- Case is useless.Sound quality: actually pretty decent. However my Jabra Supreme bluetooth sounds better and has more bass. The headphones are pretty quiet as well. The mic was ok.Fit: Terrible.- Size: These come with 3 sizes of ear buds. I tried the smallest and they still felt uncomfortably large in my ears. The smallest size is similar to the middle size I've received with other headphones. They fit my husband better but were still not comfortable.- Vacuum seal: These headphones seal your ear canal which is great for noise cancellation but also means you hear your jaw move... And I find the vacuum seal really uncomfortable.- How they sit in the ear: we both felt these didn't sit right. It takes some fidgeting to get them in the right place. Maybe with practice you could pop them in and have them where you want, but I've not experienced this need to adjust with other in-ear headphones.Materials: Average quality but feels cheap.- Cord: Rubberized or plasticized and slightly thicker than average. It feels cheap. It's also just long enough to work between your pocket and your ears... barely. (We're tall, but not crazy tall.)- Cool looking windy-case: I loved this in concept. In reality, it was annoying and basically useless. The case isn't flexible enough to let the cord and bits on the cord (like the mic or connector where the wires split for the earpieces) wrap into the spool easily. For the bits on the cord, you have to carefully push them through the plastic gap or open the gap further. Unwinding is just as annoying, possibly more so if you need to take a call.
