Title: No frills. Quality sound.
Product review: I was after a pair of noise-canceling earphones for plane flights and Starbucks, but also something that has excellent sound. This pair does just that, most excellently. After reading the reviews on Etymotic's other (more economical) earphones, as well as many other brands, I opted to get these for reasons of durability and quality, even though I can't hear frequencies greater than ~18kHz. I use Bang & Olufsen's A9 earphones, which I own, as a product for comparison. Compared to the A9's, these Etymotic earphones are a bit softer with the higher frequencies. And(!) the bass isn't overwhelming, which is my complaint of cheaper earphones (but not the A9s). If you have the money, drop it on these. It pays to buy quality.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
