I have had a pair of these headphones for years because I bought a Samsung Epic 4G phone with Sprint and the phone came with these headphones and I have to say they are my favorite. I have had many different pairs of headphones in the past including all the Apple ones and I have to say, these beat Apple's by a long way! They are super comfortable and they block out all the background noise of the environment you are in because they have a silicone earbuds on them. This allows you to make the headphone fit in YOUR ear, not just the mold of the average person. Overall, I give these headphones a 100%!
