I bought these after a friend recommended the to me and I gave them a short try. First I was really happy with them as they sounded pretty good, bass was great, although it has some trouble with highs and mids aren't clear all the times (it was made for everyday bassheads after all). A great plus was that it was fairly easy to get free (limited edition) headbands for it through the soldierofsound website. But then problems started...   Noise cancellation is good, I had no issue using it on public transportation. Due to the headphone's simple and...

This is another well-built set of stylish earphones from Sennheiser. As they are not in-ears, noise canceling is not too good. Sound quality is still great though. The earphones have a little wheel-looking part on them which make it harder for them to fall out from your ear (and make it look pretty weird). The heads of these can be swapped for S/M/L sizes and there are other accessories for finding the right fit for everyone. The volume control is pretty awkward, you have to slide an aluminum "houseing" up and down a plastic stick, there's no remote.

This really is a great set of in-ear sport earphones. The noise cancelation is really good, I used it while biking and on public transportation too - had no issue with outside noise. The build quality could be a little bit better, but the lightweight plastic construction is needed so they are lightweight. The fake kevlar-looking insert on them fells off pretty soon (I had two sets of these earphones, that plastic piece lasted a year each time) In my opinion the symmetrical cord wasn't the best choice as an asymmetrical one would be a lot more...

The build quality of these earphones are perfect: from the very first time you hold a pair of these in your hands you know that they won't fall apart any time soon. But this build quality leads to some issues: the housing is pretty heavy and this can make the use of these clip-on styled headphones pretty uncomfortable for some people. Noise canceling isn't really good but keep in mind that this isn't an in-ear earphone.   The product came with a set of accessories and a shell-shaped hard plastic carrying case.
