After using these for a few weeks, I really enjoy them! I associate C. Crane products with quality. For the price, I believe you are getting an excellent product. The amount of ear tips combined with the buds themselves makes it hard to believe it's about $20.Are these going to knock you down with their craftsmanship? Probably not, they feel like generic buds (although they look pretty nice). However, they are lightweight, easy to pop in, and I believe most people will find a tip combination to allow a secure fit.The audio capabilities on these earbuds are where things begin to shine - they sound great! I'll be the first to tell you I am no audiophile, however, they are a joy to listen to. I pair them with my C. Crane Radio 3 (one of my prized possessions) and I can comfortably and enjoyably listen to all sorts of content. They excel in talk radio but listening to some well pulled FM stations for music will not disappoint you. Again, $20 is a steal for these.Overall, if they break, oh well. I'll end up purchasing another pair as they work really well for their intended purpose. If the need for plug-in headphones weren't going the way of manual transmissions in vehicles (as in disappearing quickly) I'd probably gift these to friends and family as I believe a lot of people would enjoy them.
