Honestly a casual listener may like it but for me, I really think it needs more improvement.
I think it has serious sound leakage, partly is due to the design.

It will fall off easily and you will need to continuously press it into your ear.
Not a very good earphone imo.
Get something else

Yup light bass for those who listen/have crap music/video source.

Its bassy. More than even my dre urebeats.

Been using it a lot n quite happy with it. Perfect for my ALACS n especially awesome for movies.
My only qualm with it i wish the plastic was softer.

Def above average.

I listen using iPod classic.
All these are based on personal reference..
But basically, i dont think an open iem can be bassier than a closed iem Monster beat.
Try asking audiophiles  nod.gif

Hence y i am saying ure personal preference is skewed because of the inferior music source ure using.

Btw Dude i aint askin.
Tellin ya. Stating it. Its bassier than my urebeats
Audiophiles... most of them are using inferior music/video source but judging nonsense.
The sound on the earpods are good.

The number of ppl i know who even tag and have a good remuxed/encoded ALAC collection and properly encoded m4v videos from BD's... are so few. Yet theres so many so called audiophiles on idevices...

Its very good earphone.

But not as good as some pricey sens

Think that fella needs some reading to do.

As i said before the earpods are bassier than my urebeats. Didnt ever say it was better overall.

But for a free earphone is pretty good.

Also ppl should take note of how ppl review earphones etc. MP3 Lame vs ALAC ( getting more popular recently) vs the 256kbps itunes music.

Most reviews are based on the last. And the encode was not as pure as u might think. I have a lot of itunes music. Most of them were encoded with what apple thought the eq should sound like.

The best is to judge with ALACs with no eq setting on the idevices.

Stop believing everything u read especially reviews are true. Payola is rampant people. Heck even i got duped by urebeats
