-- these things are so much better, you won't be able to stand sticking those crappy earbuds in your ear ever again.

All things being equal, I prefer earbuds also.

I am by no means an audiophile, but love my music and cant stand listening to music on the shoddy apple earbuds.

Then I compared the M30s with my favorite earbuds, open headphones, and my desktop computer's dual speaker system to evaluate performance while listening to DVDs, Blu-rays, music, and Amazon Prime movie downloads.

I prefer my cheap $9 Panasonic earbuds over these in every way.

And, if you're using those crappy iPod earbuds for anything other than working out, do yourself a favor and upgrade

Like literally, the bass on my Galaxy S3 earbuds is better!

For $40, if you want to have a better listening experience than using cheap earbuds, go for this.

I don't like earbuds

the M30s sound muted by comparison, and i think the reason is that the earbuds provide better isolation

I prefer my cheap $9 Panasonic earbuds over these in every way.

But I had a job involving audio/video this summer, and figured it wouldn't hurt to get myself something better than cheap earbuds

After trying earbuds that didn't work for me, I ordered these headphones.

I could instantly tell how much better these are but that's obvious compared to my cheap earbuds, These are my first good quality headphones and I couldn't be happier with my purchase

i've been using cheap JVC marshmallow earbuds lately

I must admit, I'm cheap: I spent a long time buying lousy earbuds, which wore out in a month or so.

Those earbuds wear solid as in metal and the sound was simply amazing

I highly recommend getting a headphone amp with these, such as the FiiO E-6.

I lasted more than 3 years now & its still as good as

Compared to my "bass enhancing headphones," this headphones sometimes start clipping when I play my bassThe leather or vinyl material that goes around your ears is the classic material that starts to wear out and break as you sweat it or if you leave it in any warm placeOther than these 2 comments, for the price, and if you are looking to hear your mix as real as possible, this is a good choice.

and they are just as great as when I first got them (

They would fit over my ears but still cause discomfort after a few minutes, as well as get pretty warm

I was convinced by a friend to pick up Skullcandy ones as a replacement, and nice as those are

The headset sounds good, but does not isolate noise quite as much as I would like.

The padding is great, the only thing is that my ears must be huge because if I wear these too long my ears start to hurt a little as if there isn't enough room

I plugged it to my laptop as well as into the port of the speaker system amplifier

I returned them as fast as I got them
