We like:
All-round decent performance; warm, powerful sound; rich bass; comfortable
We don't like:
Treble not as airy or sparkling as some other models
Also known as:
Sennheiser IE7
You might also need:
3.5mm-to-6.3mm adaptor
CNET UK judgement:
At this price point they're a strong alternative to the Klipsch Custom-3s, with an ever-so-slightly deeper bass, but equally impressive abilities with vocals and acoustic music -- they're generally attractive all-rounders
