Best 5$ spent ever. These things are amazing. They skimp where it doesn't matter and focus their quality all on the sound. You don't pay for an extra nice cable or a custom design. You get a very basic earbud that sounds fantastic. Plus, I prefer this style of ear bud over the in ear stuff and I miss the old sonys that were awesome for 15$ These sound better and are cheaper. The foam pads include are a nice touch.
