thought i paid a bargain price, because of the 50% off pricing with the good reviews on the product.but, it turns out, the product is not all it was cracked up to be.i really don't see too much differnce in quality of the sound or the convenience for the money that i paid for.my recommendation, just get a decent regular, or, even sticking with the original ear phone that comes with most of the product that requires earphone(i-pod, mp3 players, or computers...), you are not missing anything.bottom lime, it's not worth the money to pay too much money for a set of high end in-ear phone.
