Flexible cable housing can be molded and shaped over the ear for a secure fit. Comes with two sizes of cable extensions, one with an inline mic and remote.

Distorts at top volumes on deep bass. Overall audio performance can be inconsistent from ear-to-ear due to flexible fit. Non-sealed in-ear fit lets outside sound in—ideal for joggers, but not noisy gyms.

I've been looking for an in ear headphone for a while that fits. I have trouble with the rubber ones that never have the right size. These just work. They fit over the ear for support, and the in ear part is easy to get in and stay. The sound is really...

My wife doesn't like them because I never hear her when she tries to talk to me while I'm listening. :) Other than that I can't think of a thing
