I am surprised that Apple has such a great MP3 player and the worlds worst earphones to go with it. The original earphones sound great, but hurt like hell. So I bought these, the sound is beyond compromised and the fit is mediocre. As I was doing my morning walk I nothiced a couple of problems-the wind creates noise, like and windtunnel, and I kept getting little shocks. So back that pair went. The second pair sounded just as bad, and the wind effect was no different. If I could give this no stars I would.Save your money.
