In general I prefer the rubber eartip style of earbud and think they provide a better fit than older "showerhead" style buds. (For reference, earbuds like the standard white ipod earbuds or the jvc gumy use what I call the showerhead style.) These earbuds come with three different sizes of eartips (S/M/L) so it is more likely that you will get a snug fit. The silicone material used is a thick yet soft, and offers a very comfortable fit. A few times I even forgot I was wearing these earbuds.
The sound quality is on par with other models in the price range, but nothing exceptional. In some cases the sound output seemed a little weaker than I thought it should. I had to adjust the sound up a few notches to get the desired loudness. It was still acceptable though, because when I had the sound up adjusted up higher I didn't get a rattling or tinny sound that earbuds can often make.
One thing to be wary about is that there are a considerable amount of reviews online bringing up concerns about durability. While earbuds in general have problems with durability, the complaints for these seemed a bit higher than usual.
Overall I still think these offer good performance for their price tier, but the durability complaints have me worried about longevity. (I haven't owned these long enough to comment on the durability so I will write back once I do). These are usually found for thirty dollars, which I think is a little high though. If you look around you can likely find these for twenty which I think is a more reasonable price.
Pros:
- Good bass for the price
- Great comfort
- Good for people who like bright colors
Cons:
- Questionable durability
- Limited color options
- Low sound levels
