STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

On a whim, I purchased these headphones from amazon.com because of the great reviews and affordable price:

They were like $20.  The sound on these is definately an improvement from the standby white ear buds that come with ipods.  It was hard for me to compare the sound to anything else, I could just tell that it was better.  I noticed I am not using my volume as high as I used to.  At first the increased bass tickled my ear but I think I got used to it.  It came with 3 size rubber buds, I lost the medium ones and am using the small ones which actually fit better.  The fit is better but I definately feel them falling out easily when doing strenuous exercise.  The same company makes a sport version which secures around your ear so I may buy those as well.

Slightly insignificant but I noticed that while the amazon site had them as "Sound Squared" and they have a professional website, the package came in a little first class mailer from a company of a different name, looked like a home business.  At first I was pur off but I think in the end as long as the product is good, I'd prefer to support a small business.  

So overall a good purchase if you are not too picky and in need of in-ear buds that don't  break the bank.
