Title: Outstanding, for as long as they last...
Review: These phones are outstanding sonically. Amazing clarity and detail. You will notice many tiny details you never noticed before in your favorite songs.That said, the build quality is not good. I'm currently on my fifth pair of these in four years. (The more expensive Etymotic phones have more intelligent design and much better build quality, so if you can afford better, please investigate those.) These will fail with normal use. If they fail within warranty, "repair" service is prompt (they do not generally repair in the case of the 6i; they just send you a new pair).I still consistently recommend these to people, just warning them about the relatively limited lifespan. As far as I'm concerned, the cost of buying a new pair of these every so often is still a great deal for the advantages they offer.
