I bought these earphones to replace the ones that came with my ipod, because they were awful. These definitely raised the game but not massively
The sound quality is pretty high actually, I can hear all the highs and lows, neither one overpowers the other, which is nice although i'd maybe like the bass a bit stronger.
I haven't found any problems with them not being stable in my ears, they never fall out. A problem I have had with a few other headphones was the wire length being to short resulting in the headphones pulling off my head. That happens alot due to the ipod having it's socket on the bottom of it. What I have noticed though is they can feel rather uncomfortable in extended use, with or without the fabric piece. I think it's because the shape isn't perfectly round smooth.
Aesthetically I'm not over keen on the design, it's a bit to square, I like earphones to be nice and round but that's just me. It's got an integrated volume control on the wire, useful to quickly silence your music.
So basically since I value my sound before anything else they are worth paying out for and for under £15 what more could you ask for.
