Killer sound takes some getting used to.

Got these babies for Christmas and love them. The sound with my iPod is awesome. Unless you are a professional these are all you'll ever need to enjoy quality music. Shure has been in the business forever and they make good stuff. Now it did take a while to get the ear pieces right. Several options are included in the box and I understand more are available on the market. I tried the silicone attachments without any luck. They are the best at eliminating outside noise, as a subway commuter might need or noisy work environments. Too bad because they gave me a headache. Now, the smaller orange foam attachments work fine for me, and they don't let too much noise in. As for the sound quality I don't know how they get so much music in such a small package. Next item is how they are made, high quality. I had nicked the wire of my older Sony earbuds. Now this will not happen on these earbuds. The wires are larger but still supple, soft, and don't bother you while listening. The included case should protect them well. Just make sure you keep these little gems safe, because everyone will want to use them.
