Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Nice crisp sound and very comfortable to wear. Ear buds come with a tangle free cord a carrying case and three different sizes of earplugs, so if one size won't fit one of the others surely will. Compared to other in ear headphones they are a little bulky but after wearing for a while you won't even notice.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program These Onkyo in ear headphones provide great sound and help to cancel out exterior noise. Excellent quality. I really appreciated the fact that the headphones came with three different sized earplugs, so that I could "custom fit" the plugs to fit my ears. I love the color too. Recommended!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a very upscale seat of earbuds. The construction makes them the most comfortable I've ever worn (I tend to get ear infections easily, and find most earbuds irritating). Listened to an audio drama and got very nice sound on the background effects as well as the spoken lines.

Only thing I would add: read the instructions and don't go with an earbud size that's too small, or it WILL affect sound. I tried to go with small ones, and the sound was awfully tinny. When I switched to larger buds (which were still very comfortable), the sound was fine.

Comes with three sizes of earbuds and a very nice, compact case.

Are they worth the price? It's probably up to sound experts to really make that decision, but if you're looking for a more upscale earbud, check these out.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Onkyo, a trusted name in the world of HiFi audio has released a unique pair of earphones. What stands out immediately is the tangle-free flat cable. To be honest at first I thought the cable was rather flimsy and had a cheap feeling to it, but I now recognize this material is becoming more common, and is actually quite durable, and cutting edge. The three things that matter most for me with earphones is sound quality, comfort, and durability.

Sound quality These earphones pack a good punch. If you normally don't go above $40 for a pair of earphones then you will be pleasantly blown away. If you normally spend around the $200 range or more then you'll find these earphones to be just ok. If your priority is bass, you will not be disappointed. I actually love crisp highs, as much as low end is important and the I E-FC300s don't seem to really shine in the high end. The mid is fine, and the bass is great, but finding that perfect mix for headphones in this price range is not an easy feat. Just as a reference, my favorite earphones around this price range are JVC Victor In-ear Stereo Headphones | HP-FX500 (Japan import).

Comfort In the discussion of earphones comfort must be factored in, especially for prolonged use. For inner-ear phones these are a bit on the heavy side, though the clever design manages to spread the weight a bit. These don't feel like invisible featherweight ear buds that many people are accustomed to, so realize you'll feel a presence in each ear when wearing these. However, if you're going to go jogging or any significant movement, one plus for these headphones is the super-light cable, as with many other inner earphones I've dealt with, the phones start to come out of the ears slowly with every slight bounce / tug of the cable as you run or even walk. If your primary use for headphones is during exercise, you still may prefer a lighter set.

UPDATE: Now that I've had some more time with these headphones I have to confess that I don't find them very comfortable over time. Although I didn't try the smallest size rubber cups, I use medium size on every other pair I've had, and don't see how that would make a difference, but basically there seems to be more pressure in my ears when I put them in with a tight seal, than with other headphones, which leads to a general, light soreness over prolonged use, and I'm not even talking about over an hour. This brings my review to a 3.5 stars, but since that can't be done manually I'll just leave it at 4.

Durability This is always a difficult category to review shortly after purchase, but these seem to be well built, and the innovative cable looks like it may very well mark the end of the infamous crackle/signal loss you get from so many headphones at the neck of the connector where the cable bends. Only time will tell though.

Overall, these are decent headphones, but if you want a wider soundscape and crisper highs, or the kind of canal phones where you don't even feel them at all or want to lay your ear against a pillow while still listening, you may need to look elsewhere.

By the way, I don't know if it is just my computer screen, but the photo on Amazon makes the "violet" pair look more blue than purple.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Onkyo I E-FC300(V) In-Ear Headphones is a really nice in-ear headphones. It generates very clear sound and very powerful bass especially compared with many in-ear headphones out there. I've been using many wireless stereo headphones lately and now realize why company still makes wired headphones especially at these price range (i.e. they have way better bass than their wireless counterpart. I'm not sure if it is bluetooth technology limitation, battery limitation, or other reasons). This Onkyo headphone is a bit bulky for an in-ear headphone and I am not 100% sure why they made the cable detachable (and not using twist method connect/tighten) as it got accidentally disconnected one time after about 15 minutes of use and the speaker part fell to the ground (thankfully it didn't break), though it is also possible that it is my fault for not attaching it correctly at the first place (it also warn not to disconnect too often). Anyway, make sure you connect them tightly before using this headphones and enjoy the deep bass and crispness of the music.
