Detailed review
This is my running/workout earphones (simply because I have "higher-end" IEMs I don't want to ruin) and once modded with Comply foam tips are perhaps the most comfortable earphones I have. Bass is good but with foam tips there is a definite increase in power - also reduces microphonics. The remote is nice and large and fairly easy to use without looking (unlike Apple's remote - which aesthetically nice but difficult to use). However it would be nicer to get a more prominent play/pause button

Sound Pretty damn good. Strong bass and good detail everywhere else - even minor sounds can be heard - just not as clearly or with the detail that the higher-end earphones provide - but then it's not that expensive either! This earphone can give a lot of the $200-$300 a run for the money since most people a) can't tell that much difference b) still use 128kbps music 3) like bass - and high frequency just sound 'tinny'
