It's hard to find better engineering in the earbud form factor, because no one bothers trying to make earbuds sound good. It's very hard to make an open device that small sound good.
- 2muchcoffeeman 12y agoThanks for posting those links. I don't think many people have actually compared the Apple ear buds and canalphones to anything. They are really good value for money, especially if you are after an inline remote. It's difficult to do better without spending more money.

- invisible 12y agoI think that's essentially what was being said already... 50% more expensive, 15% better.
- atwebb 12y agoI don't mind the sound as much as the extreme pain they cause my ears after being in for even a short amount of time.
- meritt 12y agoSennheiser. Excellent engineering and numerous budget options that compete on price and destroy on quality versus Apple.
