Review: Surprisingly comfortable for smaller ears and good bass, pretty in pink.

I ordered the pink earphones as I thought it would be fun to have something different, and they would stand out in my purse unlike the black ones that tend to get lost in the lining. I did not have huge expectations from them as they looked too cute to sound good but I was pleasantly surprised by the sound and the base. And I love that they include a microphone so I can take calls with them. I use them as replacement earphones for my iPhone 5 most of the time but they pair really well with the Kindle Fire HD too. They have become my new favorite pair over Logitech 500 earphonesLogitech Ultimate Ears 500vi Noise-Isolating Headset - Dark Silvermainly due to the comfortable fit.I've owned several $50-$200 headphones and some of the high end earphones sound really good but tend to be uncomfortable for my ears as they are too big. Even the smallest sized foam or rubber earbud makes my ears sore after a while. These earphones proved to be really comfortable with the smallest earbuds provided. I like the fact that they stick out of your ears as it is easier to remove them quickly, but they don't fall out. The flat cord is super-flexible and comfortable to wear and it's pretty light too, some of my best sounding earphones like Ultimate EarsUltimate Ears TripleFi 10 Noise Isolating Earphonesare the hardest to wear as they have stiffer cords, and that is a pity as I don't use them as much just because of that. These Moshi headphones are comfortable even if you're lying down in a bed or on the couch and you don't have to constantly adjust them. The fit is pretty airtight as I can't hear people speaking even if they are next to me. So I'd caution anyone who wants to use them while on the road or for running/walking.The sound is pretty good for pop/rock music and movies, with a nice and solid bass but not overdone. The performance is great at mid-range, but not so good for lows. I would probably want something a little more high-end for classical for great clarity and faithful reproduction, but overall for the every day listening these are pretty good and have a nicer bass than most in this range.As far as storage goes, I don't like the leather case. I would have prefered a box or a pouch that would store the earphones inside. They tend to pick up grime or any spills in my purse as the cord is wound around the leather wallet type case. However, I do appreciate the flatter storage system as it is easy to fit into tiny pockets/purses. I also appreciated the little touch color coding with a red band around the right earphone so I don't have to try and read the tiny print to determine the left /right.I do miss the volume control button on the mic like Apple earphones. But I can't even wear Apple earphones for 2 minute without pain, so it's a moot point. I haven't used these much for calls so I don't know if they perform very well for calls.Overall, a good product and worth the purchase especially for someone with smaller ear canals, it will be worth the investment if it holds up well to wear and tear.
