I’m loving these so far. I was in the market for a great set of in-ear headphones and extensive research suggests these are really tough to beat. I got mine for $50 on eBay but their normal price is $79.

I’m no audiophile but the sound is phenomenal and it’s amazing the difference between my old Apple earbuds and pretty much any other in-ear drivers I’ve ever tried.

1More does make a Quad Driver, but the reviews, especially on www.rtings.com, don’t make it seem that the extra cost justifies the extra driver.

I wish I could wear ear buds. Every pair I have tried either falls out or is painful - even the kinds that some with different sized rubber ear pieces . I’m stuck with over-the-ear cans so I can wear them for any length of time with glasses.

Hmmm...

if you could see the exposed wires on my Havi triples, you’d probably have an infarction.

They were also the OEM for the Xiaomi Pistons. Great headphones.

Oh nice. I had a pair of Sennheisers that came with some thing like 5 different sizes and I couldn’t make them work.

Have you ever tried one with foam tips?

I don’t think so. I wear headphones mainly in my office or to watch TV when I’m alone. The cans work well for that.

You might have better luck with those. A company called Comply sells foam tips for most earbuds. They have them for the Panasonic RP-TCM125, which are cheap (~$10) earbuds that sound  about as good for anything you can get under $50. I use them as my everyday earbuds for listening to music or podcasts while doing chores or walking the dog.

I find earbuds to be great for air travel, since they block more external sound and take up way less space. If you take a decent amount of flights, I would try the above combo out and see if it works for you.

I have a set and they're amazing. Not good for walking around outside when it's cold though.

Even if you're wearing an insulating hat, the metal gets very, very cold.
