How are these quality wise?

clintbeastBuild is pretty standard nuforce like on the EDC. The earpiece is primarily plastic not necessarily bad because it reduces the bounce that occurs when you walk so less excess noise. The braided cable is pretty fragile and I would not recommend using it. I would just go for the mic-cable.
Sound quality wise, I would recommend the HEM2. It is pretty solid overall and is relatively inoffensive with a slight lift in the bass. HEM 4 is a little bass lite in my opinion but really good for vocals if that's what you're into. I personally like the HEM4 more but that's because I am a vocals person. I think the HEM2 is more broadly appealing.

clintbeastVery nice. They're VERY lightweight and have the shape of the Shure/Westone IEMs (teardrop). Comes with a nice kit of accessories, cables, tips, etc. and a small semi-hard case. The stem also feels rather thick so I would think these are less prone to shearing off than some other brands.
Sound wise, they sounded pretty good. They are very comparable to the EDC but have a faster speed in which sounds decay. The bass is snappier, but not as punchy as the EDC. They are definitely a warmer sound so if you crave that sparkler in the high end, I would look elsewhere. To be honest, they remind me a lot of a dynamic IEM compared to a typical BA. For the cost here, I would say they're a good buy especially if you're new to the BA sound.
My one and only gripe is they tend to start distorting at higher volumes compared to any of my other sets. Mind you, you would have to crank them and give them a bit of juice but just know it was there for me and could be for you too depending on your listening levels.
