Advantages: Sound, comfort

Disadvantages: Not for sharing

These headphones are fab - far better than the run-of-the-mill cheap dross provided free with your generic mp3 player! The audio quality is superb, and, even if you choose to have your music at extreme levels, those who are sitting near you need not have your tunes inflicted on them due to their "in-ear"ness. They come with 3 fittings so you can personalise them to custom-fit your ear so they are as comfy as possible - or you may even prefer to remove the silicone completely if you have particularly small ears. They take some getting used to, but once you have you won't be able to imagine regressing back to your old earphones. The cord is of an adequate length and the split ends are equal, which I always find far more useful than having one tiny bit and one super-long bit.
The only problem is that they're probably not the best earphones if you listen to your mp3 player with someone else a lot - (1) they are custom-fitted to your ear, and (2) I don't know if it's just me, but I find sharing something that goes that far inside your ear to be rather icky!

Summary: Really good - definitely consider buying them!
