Review: Great high fidelity stereophonic sound from the little earphones

This is the first pair of quality earphones that I've owned, and I'm very impressed with them. I inserted the 3.5mm plug into my Kindle Fire HD and gave the earphones a good workout for about an hour, and they sounded great. I tried them with one of my music playlists, and the results were - to my ears at least - phenomenal, with crisp, clear sound and excellent bass. Then I used the earphones with a couple of games, and Tank Hero and Angry Birds Space never sounded so good. For videos in my library, the sound was equally impressive, as were a few movie trailers I played. I should note that I also used the earphones with my wife's Nexus 7 tablet, and they worked fine (the Nexus also has a 3.5mm sound jack).The soft earbuds were very comfortable after wearing them for more than an hour. I used the largest of the three sizes included, which was a perfect fit. They do block out much of the background noise, even at low volume. The only problem I had was that the instructions indicate that the little button on the cable can be used to pause music and to go forward or backward in a playlist. I was able to pause and restart the music, but double-clicking the button did not advance the song, and triple-clicking did not go back to the previous song as the instructions indicated.The little carrying case is a really cleverly-designed feature, since it carries the earphones and keeps the cables wound inside where they don't get tangled or snagged on anything. When the earphones are packed up, you've got a small egg-shaped carrying case that's small enough to slip into a pocket.Overall, I'm very pleased with the Moshi Moonrock earphones.
