"Overstated treble, Poor fit"

Just received these. Very disappointed in them. The treble is severely overstated and not in balance at all with midrange or bass. I got these for solely listening to music; however I found that their acute emphasis at the higher end lends itself well to the spoken word.
Despite being packaged as bass heavy, unless you've got the earbud physically in your ear canal to the exclusion of all else, there isn't much bass to speak of, and what there is, is overwhelmed with irritatingly loud treble.
Three earbud silicon adapters are provided. They are so thin and flimsy that even when conforming to my ear, they rapidly fold and the earbud falls out of my canal and ear!
I think I'm going to pick up something else. If you are into music, I can't recommend these from the sound point of view, and if you have a lobe that doesn't fully support the earbud, then the soft adapters will not retain the bud at all.
I have been buying sennheiser for around 4 years now, always to use with my ipod, or my old sony md player. Taking into account that the ipod is not great on regards to music quality, these are the best pair i have had for this price range. You will not be disapointed with them.
They are better than other cheap phones in their class. Better high and mid reproduction than V-moda Bass and scads better than any crap units that come with your mp3 player or ipod. However, phones with big foam or triple flange will fit big ear canals better. Naturally, there is no comparison to Etymotic, Ultimate Ears, or others in that class. You get what you pay for and it is not a bad product at that.
I just hooked my earbuds up and was astonished by the sound quality. They rival my hubby's Bose headphones - and they're more comfortable and cost a LOT less!!!
Been using them for over a year now in my iPod and Zen. I love 'em. Only gripe I have is that the cord tends to stick to my t-shirt when I'm working out. Cord could be a tad bit longer as well. Would give 5 stars other wise.

The earbuds are good. I bought them because my previous set was slowly falling apart from too much use. I tried these because of all of the great reviews and the fact that they had different sizes of the earbuds available - on my last set I used the largest size as they fit my ears the best. This set didn't fit my ears as well - even the largest size is too small to get the quality of noise reduction I'd expect. I noticed that with the last pair of headphones I bought, the earbuds were slightly oblong in shape, making for a better all around fit. These are circular and that is likely the difference I am seeing. Also, I didn't notice prior to purchasing that these are built to have the cord go behind the head - the cord to one bud is longer than the other. For me, these are more of a pain to use as they tend to get caught in my hair and the cord gets caught on the collar of my jacket while I'm walking. I'm sure the sound quality is great, but the other features leave me wishing I'd purchased a duplicate of the buds I'd previously been using.
