I've had these for over 3 mo. My quick thoughts are:
*The clarity is great. First time this really stood out to me was listening to OTA fm radio (KEXP!) and hearing dead air between words, I could really hear the sounds of the booth.
*poor quality audio sounds really poor (of course?). Audio streaming services sound fine (Rdio with high settings), but bad audio on videos or other poor streams really stand out.
*Bass is quite subtle, but shines with a little boost via EQ
*Acoustic stuff sounds great.
*the mic is nice to have.
*I upgraded to comply tips, I recommend it.
4mo later: my mic crapped out, unusable.
