I bought these earphones as replacements for an old pair of Sony Fontopia earphones which I lost. The Fontopias were about £20 and these were £35.
Firstly, these are comfortable. They do not feel intrusive in your ear canal and even after very long periods (4+ hours) they barely irritate at all.
The sound quality is not great, though this is mostly, like all earphones, because they are earphones and not headphones. The bass is solid but it is not all that clear, and neither are the trebles. Compared to the Fontopias they are about equal.
Something I have noticed also is that the sound is slightly unbalanced, i.e. it is slightly louder in my left ear than in my right ear. As it is not a major issue I have not returned them for a replacement but I do wonder if there may be more out there like this.
The extension cable and different sized earpads are useful, especially as the pre-supplied cable is quite short.
The isolation is itself quite good, though clearly you get what you pay for, and it is not up with the top Sennheiser earphones. Though jamming those inside your ears would take a lot more getting used to..
Lastly, they seem well built and sturdy, and have lasted well so far for 4 months. I'm expecting at least 2 years out of them.
