Not bad earbuds, has kind of a cheap feel to it. These might look like throw-ins with a drug store portable CD player, but they represent a very good introduction to the Sennheiser sound. But you have to order them about 1. One drawback is that the base was cracked on the same corners for 4 out of the 6 i had purchased. These slippers are very comfortable but also seem to be durable.
