Sound quality wise very few would be able to beat this earphone, in this price range that is.
However for the price that it comes for the wires are too feeble and too delicate and even after taking the utmost care I have started to hear in only one ear. I hope there is somebody from the Sennheiser core team that is reading this review or the information being presented to them in any which way.
If you guys are not going to look into the quality of your wires whatever the quality of these headphones people are going to shun them anyhow. My rating has gone down from a 5 star to a star due to this.
