Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've used a variety of headphones with my iPod and these are among the most impressive in terms of dynamic sound quality. My music and audio books sound great, especially when compared to certain out ear buds I've picked up over the years.

Another great feature is the cord length. They are long enough to help with working out without the distraction of them pulling out of your ears.

Highly recommended.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Onkyo IE-FC300 Headset

Included:

Nice zip hard pouch, but it's not plastic, but more a cloth

Small & Large additional rubber earpieces, medium size already attached

Length average compared to others (ex. Apple Earpods)

Sound Quality:

The overall sound quality is good & clear, it's not tinny, though it lacks somewhat in mid & more so in the bass frequencies. In comparison to the Apple Ear Pods that come with the iPhone 5, the Apple Ear Pods have a fuller sound w/better mid & base frequencies, although the Ear Pods lack of a snug fit in my ears, which makes them prone to getting loose which can diminish the sound quality & make them difficult to use when working out. I have a pair of Klipsch S4i in earphones which I felt was at least equivalent to better in sound quality and includes a microphone with volume control and I paid less for them than the what the Onkyo's go for.

This headset is different in that you can change the earpieces from the cables to change the cable color. Also the cable wire is FLAT. The ones I got the cable was white & the buds were black.

To change the size of the earbuds to fit your ear is very difficult, but turning them inside out helps when doing it.

The connector jack on the Onkyo is L shaped so this can be a problem when using this headset with some phone cases, so keep that in mind before purchase.

Pros:

Nice overall sound quality, not tinny, though lacks in mid & especially bass tones

Come w/a zipper hard case

Detachable design allow you to use different cables

3 different rubber ear bugs included for perfect fit

Gold-plated MMCX connectors

14.3 mm (9/16-Inch) drivers

Block more outside noise then Apple Ear Pods due to better fit

Flat wire is novel design & seem less likely to knot up

Cons:

L-shaped jack can be a problem for some devices/cases

Lacks good bass sound

Overpriced considering sound quality/design

No mic ability

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have never really cared for in-ear headphones, because after about 20 minutes, they start to get uncomfortable. But these are different. The rubber is more flexible and I find I can wear them for a longer period of time. These earphones also have a much better sound than most of the cheaper ones that are available. What I liked best about them is that they come with a round, zippered case for storage when they are not in use. That way they are protected from damage.

Even though these are more comfortable than any others I have ever worn, I could still only wear them for about 50 minutes before discomfort started to set in.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I ordered these for my husband, who is very particular about his headphones (he's a music snob). These Onkyo in ear headphones provide great sound and help to cancel out exterior noise. So much that he can't hear me when I walk up behind him....loudly! Excellent quality. The headphones come with three different sized earplugs, so that he could "custom fit" the plugs to fit his ears. Recommended!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program These headphones easily passed the first test, they sound better than the stock headphones that come with the iPod/iPhone. The second, and more important, test is whether they deliver an experience that is worth their price. Surprisingly, these sounded as good or better than $300 headphones. They also fit comfortably, which is especially important to me as I have had trouble with other in-ear headphones. (They come supplied with ear pieces of different size to allow for a more custom fit.) The flat cable was novel, but it works; it doesn't form a snarly knot after two minutes in one's pocket.

I listen to classical music, mostly baroque, and have found that the stock Apple in-ear headphones leave much to be desired, though they remain clearly the best headphone in their price range. The Onkyo headphones block much more of the ambient sound than do the stock in-ear headphones, certainly nothing like a set of big studio headphones, but portable music demands something a bit more subtle and easier to stow than a big headset.

Obviously these are my personal and highly subjective conclusions, in fact, I find most reviews of audio equipment to be more amusing than informative. Nevertheless, while a headphone shouldn't be purchased solely on the basis of someone else's recommendation, when the decision is made to upgrade and go shopping--be sure to check out these Onkyos, I find them to deliver a higher quality experience than headphones that cost twice or three times as much. Give them a try.
