I was pretty excited about these, but I'm not the biggest fan. First off, if you haven't tried in-ear headphones, you probably should just to make sure it's your type of thing. I haven't tried too many different types, but from extensively trying these out, here is what I conclused.

Using these at the office is pretty good, since they block pretty much all sound out. This means you definitely won't be distracted by that dude in the cube next to you. But you'll have to get used to the in-ear feeling that they give you. I don't really know how to describe it except that, it really is in your ear, and it does feel a little awkward at first. The sound a bit better than the stock earbuds here, mostly in the low range because they're tighter set in the ear. You'll notice how the stock ear buds sound 10x better when you push them firmly in your ear. The bass is lower, treble more defined. Try it out, and see. That's kinda how these sound, but slightly worse. So it sounds like something in between the regular headphones vs regular headphones shoved firmly in your ear.

If you want to go exercise, it's a little worse off. I noticed that when I went biking, it doesn't sound that great because the wind really blows up against it. The original ones are a little better suited for this. If you're a running type, this is what I was most disappointed with. For some reason, it really feels like air is somehow being pushed/trapped inside, creating almost like a muffled thump when you run on every step. Hard to describe, but I just didn't like it nearly as much as my stock earbuds. They also seem to come out a little more often than my stock buds. So unfortunately, I might have to get my original ones fixed for exercise activities.

The clicker is ok, nothing to write home about. The mic is fine, sound goes through ok on the phone. It's a little clunkier than the original clicker and slightly harder to click. I prefer the stock in this regard as well.

They sound a little bett

Bottom Line:

More bass than stock so sound is richer, block out sound (good in the office), slightly worse clicker, muffled sound when running, falls out a bit more during running, in-ear somewhat awkward feeling.
