State-of-the-art JBL IEM phones
I don't know about the predecessor JBL phones referred to by the other reviewer, but these phones didn't disappoint. They were instantly comfortable, they sealed out more ambient sound than most of their competitors, and most importantly they delivered full-frequencied sound with the crystalline clarity and forward, natural presence that have always distinguished the best JBL products. Listening to Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" I was also greeted by the plumbless depth of Paul Chambers' introductory robust yet unforced bass on "So What?" In fact, all of the sounds--Chambers' bottomless sub-tones, Coltrane's searing Promethean tenor, Cannonball's exuberant and ebullient preaching, Miles' and Bill Evans' nuanced, introspective mid-tones, and Jimmy Cobb's undisturbed pristine ride cymbal (the Count Basie of the percussion set, leaving the work of the left hand to the other musicians)--all presented in a perfectly balanced package (not "blended" but preserved with absolute fidelity to...
All I hear is my music
I originally purchased these because they are latex free. Most earbuds tend to make my ears itch (I'm allergic to latex), and while I really covet my husband's pair of Parrot Zik Touch-Activated Bluetooth Headphones (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081TH24O/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1), I wanted something smaller that fit in my laptop bag and could be worn to bed (I like to listen to music as I fall asleep). These are very comfortable, and the sound quality is very good. They block a LOT of outside noise as well -- I had them on while sitting on the couch and my husband had to shake my shoulder to get my attention. Definitely a good product for a fairly reasonable price.
Not Bad but older 220 model much better
Much better than the standard junk earphones that come with virtually all MP3 players.
Sound is pretty good, but compared to the older JBL 220 in-ear phones (if you can find the REAL thing, there are tons of fake 220's out there so be careful) the 220's are about the same price but have superb sound, you would have to go up to the $150+ price range to get better sound.
If you are used to punchy live sound or studio mixes then JBL are the best IMHO, there are many more expensive phones that have absolutely flat response but these don't always sound better to all but the purist Jazz, Classical listeners.
