The sound quality is really good for the price, and the mic button is pretty tactile. The wire could be better, but I didn't expect much at this price range. The downside on these is the build quality. On my right earbud, there is a gap between the silver and black aluminum pieces with the glue residue seeping out Not sure if it is because of the gap, but my right earbud doesn't sound as loud as my right one. The gap is big enough to stick a thicker piece of paper into it. Something like this shouldn't be able to pass through QC.
