Decent product for a decent price
Appears to be a well made product at a resonable price. Good volume and clarity when connected to my Sansa player BUT bass quality AND isolation of outside noise are nowhere near as good as my Shure IC2 and Emotic Research ER6i isolation earbuds but the price is much less.

Little ears, big sound
If you are one of the many who find ear buds to be a pain in the, well, ear, let me be one of the first to recommend the Maximo M-490 headphones.

Unlike Apple's buds, the headphones fit easily into the ear canal, where it delivers impressive stereo- rich and deep bass, clear treble response and and predictable separation. I have a Sharper Image quiet place Noise-Cancellation Headphones (FJ454) whose noise reduction technology screens ambient noise impressively. But note for note these headphones deliver higher quality sound.

I'm loving them!
I have been extremely pleased with these earphones. My primary reason for buying them was to use while running on a treadmill. I have tried a couple other types of headphones that have not worked well. Traditional earbuds get jarred out of my ear every few minutes. I found these in-ear earphones to be comfortable and very secure. I really like the metal housing with its solid look and feel. I like the way that it diminishes the competing noise from the room. I also like the zipper case to keep the cords organized when I toss it in my gym bag. I have only been using it with television, so I cannot yet comment on the audio quality with music. I have been very pleased, and they were just what I had been hoping for.

worked well for a month and then one of the earphones stopped working
the good things
- sound is v good, sounds full, good base
- you can play your mp3 player on the lowest volume and still hear clearly in the subway, the isolation works pretty well

the bad
- one of the ear phones stopped working after a month, so my set became useless
- if you listen to music often or for long, your ears may hurt due to the isolation created by the earphones ... especially while pushing the earphones into your ear or while removing the earphones

i liked the earphones, just wished they had lasted longer!

Very good sound isolation earphones
The earphones were a good purchase. Very good noise isolation; especially on subway when wishing to only hear music or view a movie on my IPOD.
