Yay! We can walk the road of shame together.![]()
They're not terrible for inexpensive, pack-in earbuds, they're just - for me - impossible to get a good fitment. They need to be pretty snug to get any bass.
Speaking of inexpensive, I wanted some travel earbuds, didn't want to spend a bunch, and I scored some Symphonized - the body of the bud itself is wooden (which is an interesting, alternative design option in earbuds) - they're very very good, even compared to mid-ish range like a Shure EC215. I was totally surprised, even after reading the extremely positive reviews. They're also comfy, sound isolating, even pretty cool looking, I went with the white/black striped cables, medium dark wood body, NRG Premium.
