I've had these for about 6 months.I did a lot of research online before buying these and was hesitant when I actually picked them up at the store--the packaging seemed kind of cheap and I was skeptical.I bought them anyway and was surprised by how well made they felt.They are gratifyingly heavy for their size and the polymer cap that fits into your ear seems durable and is very comfortable.
When I put them on, I was surprised by the sound quality and amount of noise reduction.The sound quality still amazes me.These have really good base and rich, full sound.I've had several pairs of headphones and these blow all of them away in quality.They are definitely competitive with headphones over twice the price.I didn't see any advertisement about noise reduction, but as soon as you put them in, the world becomes muffled, and once you turn on the music to a reasonable volume, nearly all outside noise is drowned out.It feels like walking around in a movie, where the scene volume is muted and the soundtrack is all that is heard.They don't amplify the sound of you breathing, either, as covering your ears would do.
The one thing it does amplify is the sound of the cord moving--it is an awful noise that becomes infuriating quickly.Any thumping at all on the cord is greatly amplified.The noise isn't as noticeable when I take them out running, especially if I wear the cord under clothes.It is most obnoxious when sitting still or walking and the cord is accidentally thumped.As annoying as I find this noise, it doesn't even come close to outweighing the pros of these headphones.
I have taken them out jogging and biking, and they are great in the wind, since most of the ear bud is in your ear canal.My old ear bud headphones forced me to crank the volume to the max to hear over the sound of wind.Not so with these.I've accidentally tugged the cord hard a few times while jogging and as a result, the sound sometimes begins to cut out if the cord is bent in just the wrong way.I am sure this would be the case with most headphones, however, so I do not fault them for it.All in all, I love these and would buy them again immediately even if they broke tomorrow.For $50, I don't think these can be beaten.
Pros:
-Outstanding sound quality
-Very good noise reduction
-Comfortable fit
Cons:
-The sound of the cord moving around is loud and annoying

The audio components featured in the unit are acceptable... the amp is loud enough to grab attention of people who pass by.One can be subversive OR completely intrusive if desired. The bag is highly mobile and easy to use. I've been looking for a product just like this for ten years- and it performs exactly how I thought it would.
