Sound was indeed great for the first few hours... then they came apart. Well, I unfortunately snagged the cord on the desk. They did not pop out of the ear as one expects with other in ear designs, instead the cord tore out of the ear piece. For portable use one would hope they would be made a little more robust than for studio listening. I am waiting to hear from the company if they believe this would be covered or not under manufacturing warranty... in which case it was a one of fault and they would replace them for me. If not, then I guess they are porly designed/made. I got a pair of these Hf2s after reading the reviews. Sound was indeed great for the first few hours… then they came apart.

I wanted to take advantage of separate drivers for bass, high end and treble. Everything I read compared the products reviewed against the Shure SE530. I bought a pair without the PTH (push-to-hear) option. I bought the Shure attachment that was required to make the phones work with my IPhone. This attachment allows you to pause the IPOD and answer the phone, having a mic built in to the cord. Needless to say, those Shure SE530 earbuds are fantastic. I hear things I never knew were there, and as the volume increases the music stays defined. They also give you a plethora of bud choices in three sizes. Like everything else, you can save buy buying on-line or on auction sites. I did a lot of research prior to buying earbuds.
