They sound better to me and my three bandmate, one being a sound engineer. Admittedly those are great for their price (good ol' Panasonic Ergofit), but pick any decent 20 euros pods and they'll crush the earplugs. The sound quality is abysmal for >150 euros pods. Any "refinement" is worthless if the base feature of the object, the sound, is less than acceptable for the price. And it is unacceptable to leak so much sound that it's a disturbance to people around you (yes, if you're using those in the subway, you're disturbing people). That being said, I can absolutely believe that the bluetooth connexion is better than other brands and that it is a major feature for a lot of people that do not use earplugs in the same way Ido (communication rather than music)
