    Amazing for the price

    Amazing for the money, it sounds great and it isolates a lot of noise. I can wear these for hours and I can't hear a single person even if they are sitting near me. Very comfortable, the big silicon tips fit me, even when sleeping or moving around. My main gripe is that the cable makes a decent amount of noise when moving it or running my fingers on it. Annoying but not a deal breaker.

    PRO:

    Compact, Great Sound, Good Value, Good Bass, Lightweight, Comfortable, Durable

    CON:

    Cable noise, Unattractive Design

    BEST USES:

    With My Computer, Working, Portable Devices, Traveling, Home Audio, Relaxing, Music, Monitoring

    BOTTOM LINE:

    I would recommend this to a friend.

    Wonderful product

    I received these as a gift several years ago and enjoy using them. They are very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and sound great. They cost a bit more than a cheap pair at Walmart, but they are well worth whatever you pay for them.

    PRO:

    Great sound and comfort

    CON:

    None

    BEST USES:

    Your listening pleasure.

    BOTTOM LINE:

    I would recommend this to a friend.

    Almost 7 years of excellence

    Honestly, I can`t quite recollect whether I bought this set in 2010 or 2011, I remember it was Winter February, should search for a check from the store. Anyway 6.5 or 7.5 years of daily use for a headphone set? And it still plays notes from 20 up till 19900 Hz (I can`t hear 20khz on any phones) not telling about music. I wonder whether I`ll already have my kids when IE4 dies as I`m starting to think that these headphones are immortal. Though I thinking of updating to IE800 or what`s comming after IE800 anyway. Still I will keep IE4 with me just to find out when it will finally dies.

    PRO:

    An unbelievable durable wire, which survived 30 degrees of frost and 40 degrees plus in hot summer days. I was in a storm couple of time and they were filled with water, so one ear stopped playing the sound. At home I dried them for a night and was surprised that in the morning both earphones played as nothing ever happened. I was expecting them to have some distortion due to the water inside or to die in a couple of days, but it never happened. The noise cancellation is quite good for them being the headphones of shallow insertion. A very good precision of a vocal part, what makes them very useful for selfmonitoring while singing on the stage. Sound signature is quite "warm" what makes them good for "bright" music, especially rock-metal-pop and electronical genres.

    CON:

    The wire is covered with a some kind of varnish, what makes the wire resist to corrosion from the environment, but it makes them very difficult to solder. Unfortunately the Very original Jack didn`t survive due to my neglect using of this set and tore after 4 years of using them, what made me almost cry from the grieve. At first I thought they just died because of impressive 4 year daily use with my mobile phone in a pocket. But i just tinkered with them and solder the wire with the jack at the place it tore and - it was resurrected. Another thing is the microphonical effect when it`s windy outside or somebody occasionally touches the wire in a crowded bus. On the other hand - if you`re sleeping - this sound is like an alarm clock for you that something is going on. Should be cleaned once per couple of month from earwax, as it causes the effect that one ear produces the sound quieter than the other, what in fact is caused by the obstruction for a sound that the earwax creats.

    BEST USES:

    Listening to the fast tempo music is much more pleasant on the dynamic kind of headphones than on multy-driver monsters due to quick response what makes you feel that music is alive. Personal monitoring for singing goes very good on the stage, or in noisy places where it`s difficult to hear yourself.

    BOTTOM LINE:

    I would recommend this to a friend.
