How is the comfort level on these? I have some JVC and Apple earbuds that feel terrible in my ear holes, but my Sennheiser IE6 feel nice. I have small earholes for such a big person. Most earbuds hurt my ears but these with the small silicone seals feel good. I don't have painful ear canals after a day of listening after these like I have with others. They are also extremely light. They are plastic and a very thin cord, so don't expect them to be bulletproof like some of those machined aluminum jobs with heavy rubber cords. I don't like those fancy earbuds because the weight has a tendency to make them fall out of my ears when moving around. These light ones stay tight all the time. |

What's $7 right? Even if they only get used at the gym, that'll be worth the $7 if they fit and sound ok. |

Well, these just got here, less than 24 hours later. Can't beat that. Comfort level is high. Sound is ok. The feel a bit congested in the low mids and rounded on top, but for $7, they're pretty good. They sound way better than the cheap, uncomfortable JVC and old Apple buds. I'd rather use these cheapos at the gym than my expensive Sennheisers too. I'll try to break out the Senny's this weekend to do a back and forth with these. |

Hmm, will try to find these in europe/germany.
I was two times lucky getting astoundingly good sounding in-ears as retail accessories to players since in-ears came out. So why not trying some generic panasonic cheapos?
I find it very hard and quite expensive to get an appropriate equivalent to my old Senny HD250 linear, and would like to use them less. They lasted very long now, and we have 3 pair (2x old MK1 series, one of the last decades MK2 reissue), but it will be harder to get spares over time. I think the HD650 is the nearest newer model available now, the 600 second choice. But IMO it still does not reach the overall quality i like about the old 250. Guess i am so used to them it's hard to adapt my hearing to something different, they make so many things right....
These AT headphones are also pretty interesting. They seemingly did everything right from start with the M40fs(?), their first attempt, and the M50 seems to be it's revised follower. Looks like a pretty good and affordable tracking HP...

Great for avoiding fatigue, but not a pristine picture. Still satisfied for 7 bones though. |
