I received these as a fathers day gift and I am very impressed with the sound quality they deliver. These provide a deep rich sound touching on all the different tones. From the deep bass beats to the highs of the strings and horns, you hear everything as crisp sound. Did not think a ear canal set could deliver sound this rich and deep. The only thing preventing me from giving these 5 stars are 2 minor things. Volume on these trends to the low side so you need to raise the volume level of your player. They also are a bit on the heavy side, although this may just be me since I am comparing them to my previous phones which were ultra light weight. All in all I think these are a great set for the money.
