I've had two pairs of these before; not because of shoddy build quality but because of simply losing them and breaking them. The reason I keep getting these is because the quality is far better than any of those in a similar price range, and even better than some that are more expensive. The clip is great, as I find most in-ear headphones are a pain to get to stay in for more than 5 minutes, and they also provide good sound isolation. The sound quality as well is brilliant; not tinny at all, and these save battery life on my iPod. Before you look at more expensive brands, check these out - they're definitely worth a go.
