Today's Bonus:
I'm not running into any fit issues, which I think is the core of many low scores; especially since proper fit for in-ear buds directly relate to sound quality.
Anyways, I'm not an audiophile but I expect to get what I paid for and with these Sol Republic has not disappointed. They fit me perfectly and sound wonderful, which I couldn't say for the Skullcandy Aviators they replaced. I'd happily admit they sound better than said Aviators.
Listening to a wide range of genres, they hold their own. The sound feels round and warm, perhaps lacking ever so slightly in what I think is referred to as the middle range, however, it could just be music I'm listening to. The bass is punchy and gives that 'feel the bass' feeling.
I appreciate the style of them quite a bit, and love the ribbon cord. They come with a rubbery case which, honestly, won't see much use. I like these buds enough that I'd likely pickup a hardshell 'travel' case to make sure they survive a trip in my backpack or satchel.
Everything just sounds great, I don't think I could elaborate further. Try them out or not, thanks for taking the time to read of my opinion.

These headphones from my 10 minutes of experience with em so far have PHENOMENAL sound! WOW! They're also beautiful, so far comfortable and just plain cool, HOWEVER these headphones were made for Apple devices which I did not know upon purchasing, therefore they do not work with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I can't use the microphone feature which I'm sure is lovely but that means, no voice commands, & no calls. Can't even use the volume control. Because Apple has their own standard for 3.5mm jacks despite there already being a universal standard in place, I can't enjoy these pieces of audio artwork. So if you're an iphoner....have at em. For the rest of us, you may want to check compatibility with your device first. Thanx again apple for ruining yet another great thing! I may have unusual requirements for in-ear headphones. Since I travel a lot, I prioritize:1. Rugged enough to be shoved into pockets running through airport security, check-in, boarding, taxis, etc.
2. Cord doesn't tangle when trying to pull headset from my pocket while answering my phone.
3. Microphone in good location, where the two individual ear wires merge into the single cord.
4. Noise isolating.
5. Fits into ear firmly enough to stay in place while running, traveling, or other physical activity.
6. Soft enough it doesn't hurt my ear.
7. Sounds good.
I've had plenty of failures. I have a set of (expensive) Klipsch that doesn't sound much better, feels fragile, and the cord gets tangled on everything. I had a great set of Shure (also expensive) but the wires were fragile and eventually frayed under usage. Others had the microphone hanging from one of the ear pieces (instead of where the wires merge) and had audibility problems. From this perspective, the SOL is close to ideal. I don't particularly like the large disk, which doesn't seem to serve a purpose and makes the earpieces bulky.
I'm generally not using the in-ears for critical listening, so sound quality isn't the top priority. If I'm wanting quality, I have a different set of priorities. However, the SOLs sound good relative to other in-ear sets in the $100-$200 category.I have become a pretty dedicated Sol Republic fan when it comes to my music and sound. When I purchased this item, I had a good idea of what to expect based upon other reviews and it came just as I thought it would be. For the cheap price of about $30, the material quality of these headphones aren't 100%. Needless to say, the cord is a soft and smooth plastic, so it was good enough for me. But the sound? The sound is amazing. I am a big fan of bass, and I have to say that the bass in these headphones are really superb. I also enjoy listening to a lot more acoustic and relaxed music, which some claimed sounded terrible on these, but I found nothing wrong. Everything was really clear to me.
Overall, I think it was a great buy. They still look very stylish no matter how they feel, and as with anything you purchase, they will last a solid amount of time as long as you take care of them. If you want good sound for a cheap price, these are the headphones to get.Excellent sound quality for the price. Incredibly clear highs and smooth bass. Much more than I expected from a $40 set of buds
