I realise this isnt true but think about it...

Lol yea I know thats why I wonder what they 'sounded' like right out of the package.

i almost bought some skullcandy's not ear buds, but some really nice artic camo ones at my local shop, but decided not, how is the bass on the buds? is it worth the 35-50$ i see around my town?

I love the bass in the buds. I use the Loudness EQ preset on my iPod. And it's awesome. I'm no AUDIOPHILE but you know.

These are mine. They're totally comfortable too.

ah,l not bad. do they feel like apple buds with a cone? or different. because likei said if i can stand the fact of sticking stuff in my ears i might get those to replace my kosses for my ipod

Agreed, i love the way IEM's sound and I've owned and auditioned so many pairs you wouldnt believe, but I can't have them in my ear longer than an hour or they hurt. i like earbuds way better

Good Guide i have a modded pair of senn hd555's probally 400hrs+ on them i fall asleep to them wake up to them.

ear buds just seem to hate me, i have had 3 pairs of the ones that come with ipods i have owned the first nano, the second and right now i have the one that does movies. all of them are dead, one had a wire rusted apart at box opening WTH! another got choped by a knife when my hand slipped from cutting carrots -_- yep it happend and then my 3rd pair broke not a couple weeks ago when the speaker on the left bud blew. hahaha yet my cheap ass sony PSP ones run like new!

its been about 30 hours - non stop playing since I posted above.
And to be honest, I think I can notice a bit of a difference in these Sennheiser HD201 headphones. It sounds less "hollow" then it did before.
