"Tickles me pink"

What I like:

Very good sound isolation

What I don't like:

Bass should be a tad better

Review:

Firstly the sound isolation is very impressive. I couldn't believe how much ambient noise is cut out through these earphones. It gives the impression that you're all alone on a deserted island. Very good for the commuter.

Sound wise it is very crisp and clear. It's a bit of cliche but you really do hear instruments, rhythms much more clearly than before. The midrange and high are very good.

Once the earplugs are 'inserted' correctly I found them to very comfortable.

The downside is the bass. The bass compared to my previous Koss Plugs is somewhat diluted not much but definitely perceptible. If you like bass driven music like R&B, dance, hip hop (which I do) and you're using the iPOD you may want to set the equaliser to have a bass boost. Other than the bass being a tad lighter I highly recommend the earphones as the overall sound is very expressive.
