The design of their revolutionary new earbuds is not fantastic. I was so excited to get these ear buds after seeing the promo for them! After having them for half a year now, and consistently using them, it's safe to say they are close... They were not wrong about them fitting in most people's ears, no matter what the shape! It's fantastic! I can run on a treadmill and they won't jump out! The dynamics of the speakers really make it sound like you are surrounded by music! But the main speaker part at the head of the ear bud is indented ever so slightly. As in, there is a raised plastic edge around the speaker, that probably serves a functional purpose, I just haven't figured it out. It causes me grief though. I get ear was excessively stuck in and around it. Not only is it gross, it actually blocks the sound! I have talked to others that have the same issue. I take a needle or pin to it and carefully clean it out when I can. But I shouldn't need to do that every time I want to listen to music. Also, I have no idea what material the wire is wrapped in, but it always rips at the bottom where the jack is that goes in my iPhone. My previous pair did this as well! I would have thought Apple would have fixed that common problem!
Over all, these ear buds are still vastly superior to any others on the market today. But it's those two annoyances that slowly drive me up the wall every time I use them. So if you are going to buy the new headphones just know what you are in for, but if you are going for Ear Buds, they are the top choice. Remember Head Phones are completely different!
