This is a relatively standard issue model. I can't say that it's expensive, so you shouldn't expect it to perform at the same level as models costing $3000 or more. However, if you value sound quality over cost, there are other options in this price range that are worth considering (akg for example). Contains a number of advantages: 1) Reliable build quality; average lifespan of one year 2) They're not huge and they're really comfy, so I don't have to worry about my ears popping. (3) The noise isolation is superb, making them ideal for usage on the subway or in other noisy environments where headphones are permitted (including as earplugs). 4) I bought one last winter on the 15th for $690, so they're not too pricey. Cons: 1) The acoustics. Without hearing, with a dull, booming bass and unremarkable highs. I was hoping for more from the soneks in this model and was genuinely disappointed by their sound quality. The sound is not as bad as frankly Chinese slag, but it is still below my expectations. 2) The wire is tangled, although this is a common issue with earbuds. Nevertheless, the sound is terrible and can only be used for listening to the radio or making phone calls.
