I have used a lot of earphones recently and although they seemed good at the time, since I have upgraded to the MX-500s I realise now that these are the best I have had in a long time.

They are used with my iPod and whilst some people seem to think that the iPod has inferior sound quality I am very impressed with the sound they produce. I am not an audiophile by any means but I am fussy about the frequencies I like. I also have a varied selection of music styles on my player (electronica, jazz, classical) and none of the tracks I have heard so far sound bad through these earphones.

Although I rated the price at 8/10 I got mine at a very cheap price on Ebay so it may be worth checking on there to see if you can get a good deal.

I find them very comfortable and they don't fall out of my ears like a lot of in the ear earphones have done in the past.

Highly recommended

An audiophile will appreciate the Sennheiser MX 500 a lot. An enthusiast of effects and generally persons who are listening with bass boost systems and big equalizer distortions will not appreciate them. I have a 3 times more expensive Sennheisers but MX500's outmatch them in tonality!
