These earbuds are much more comfortable than the standard IPod earbuds - & the sound is very good for the money.

The different size adapters make it easy to get a good fit. Doesn't block out background noise, but does a good job of muting it when you fit the correct size adapter. The small case to protect the earbuds is a plus.

The ear phones sound great, are very light wieght and unlike the oem i-pod earphones are comfortable to wear. Slip into the ear easily, no twisting and shoving and cramming and glueing. They pull out just as smoothly, no need to call a tow truck to remove them. Seriously they are very comfortable and functional, they slide in nicely stay put and are easily removed when done.
