Before purchasing this earphone, I did some research on Youtube. They aren?t so bulky feeling that way. I looked through many reviews and slippers before I saw this brand in Khols. It smelled like bloody mold! Happy with the experience. Had to return it, for a hard shell case. However, I wanted the best, so I kept going. These speakers can pump out some sound. Sadly I had to return mine : ( All around satisfied with my purchase.
