I paid something like $24.99 on sale (super cheap) and they sound pretty much as good as the Jabra $100 earbuds I also just bought, but heres a few tips to get the best out of them. Firstly, start experimenting right away with the different sizes of rubber ear pieces to get the best sound. Also here's something weird that you might have to do to make them sound great. I actually had to swap around the left and right sides and put them in upside-down to get a perfect fit (with the silver fins pointing up not down). I know that sounds weird but I swear after I did that they were a perfect fit and sounded great with plenty of Bass. They sounded a little tinny right-side up because they didn't fit right. So maybe that's why they are so cheap here but I swear if you do what I did they sound like $150 dollar ear buds, not $24 dollar ones. I'm very happy with the purchase.
