 Great iPhone head phones! September 5, 2008
These are solid headphones that work with the Generation 1 iPhone. They block 90% of background noise. My only complaint is that what I use them outside jogging or roller blading they block the noise so well that I can hear the vibrations of my feet hitting the ground.
 Lasted 40 days April 10, 2008
Having been through three pairs of V-Moda Vibe earphones in the last year, each of which shorted out on one side, I absolutely accept that I may just be cursed. But these lasted an even shorter time than the Vibes did, and Creative has a much more annoying return process than V-Moda does. Because they won't ship to my USPS post office box, I've decided not to bother at all.
As for their sound: much better high end than the Vibes, much poorer low end. Much, much poorer fit. I have to use the largest of the attachments to get any bass at all, and the entire time they're in, I feel them slowly creeping out of my ears.
Guess I'll try the Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 5 next. The CNET review says they fell apart during the second week of testing...
Poor Sound Quality for the price February 17, 2008

Compared to Shure's E2cs, the rival they're going for, it just doesn't match up. For almost the same price, they offer a higher noise isolation, i've compared them in outdoor environments.
 Very good, all around January 20, 2008

These are an upgrade fro me from a pair of Sony EX51s (with which I was happy, but I wanted to leave them at work). For the money, these are outstanding headphones.
Sound:
These headphones have a very consistent (and high) sensitivity across the full audible frequency range. Coupled with the high-quality sound reproduction done, this results in a very significant level of detail appearing in music that I'd not noticed before (including through a pair of Sennheiser HD580s and a $5000 living room system). I've picked out instruments I'd not noticed before, listened to some performers' voices like I'd never heard them before, and even picked out a voice-over that I'd never noticed was there before.
What these won't do, to respond to the favorable reviews of many other ear buds in this price range, is make you feel like you've got your car's pair of 15" subs coming along with you. These are probably not the bud for you if that's what you're looking for. The lows, however, are exactly where they should be -- where, as best I can tell, the producers and artists intended them to be.
I tested them out of my Sound Blaster X-Fi using a mix of 320bit MP3s and FLAC. Artists ranged from Beethoven and Maria Callas to Dire Straits to Ladysmith Black Mambazo to Nighwish and Within Temptation to Darkwell (I don't shy from bass). Everything sounded exceptional.
Design:
These are very comfortable buds. Like most (if not all), they come with three sizes of inserts, and the inserts stay on well. The angle (visible in the product image) is dead-on, at least for my ears. The cord feels solid, and it's got a nice slider over the part where it is split for the ears so you can adjust how long the separated cords are.
Other:
Comes with a nice, sold case. Comes with a full extra set of ends. Comes with a little tool with a pick and a tiny wire hook that can be used to clean out inside the channels leading from the drivers. Comes with an adapter for use on an airplane's dual 1/8" sockets. Only things it doesn't come with (that I could think of it possibly coming with) are a cable extension and a 1/4" adapter. Very well thought out.
Great product January 18, 2008
These are wonderful head phones that offer some sound reduction and excellant music sound from you computer, MP3 player, etc. Very competitive price as compared to some other products in the market.
