Although at £80 these could not be described as cheap, they are staggering value for money when compared with other high-end in-ear monitors; I auditioned these along with some Sennheiser IE8s (over £200!) and the Phonaks simply blew the Sennheisers away. They are so revealing of every detail, and nothing gets lost in the mix, ever. Bass response is excellent, but balanced - if you're looking for headphones that will drive your eardrums into your brain then I'd suggest these are not for you. If you're looking for an audiophile experience, though, I find it hard to imagine that there is anything better, and better value, on the market.
The only downside is that they are so transparent they make crummy recordings sound like the rubbish they are, but with good source material they are simply brilliant. I use them mainly on an iPod that has iTunes+ encoded tracks from lossless sources, and it sounds wonderful.
Also very light and comfortable to wear, once you've got over the fiddling with finding the right ear piece size and used to the over-ear style.
Unhesitatingly recommend these to anyone, except for total bassheads. And even for them, I'd definitely audition these alongside all the other similarly priced big brand stuff.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Edit (14 October 2011)
Since writing the above, I've had the opportunity to listen the IE8s more extensively, and it's clear to me now that they are excellent 'phones, so I think my opinion regarding their performance compared with the Phonak's is not justified. However, is their performance worth the extra £££? Now that would be really hard to justify.... Read more ›

I recently upgraded my portable player from a Sony NWA-806 to a Cowon iAUDIO9. The Sony was a nice wee player, and my 128kbps ATRAC3plus encoded music was detailed enough to match my old Sennheisser CX300s, but I encoded all my CDs into FLAC when I got the Cowon, and suddenly the sound felt very lacking in clarity and depth from the CX's compared to my hi-fi. Having looked at pretty much everything from higher end Sennheissers to £180 Shures, I purchased these Phonaks having read some rave reviews.
And... they are as good as others say they are. It took a little getting used to the symmetrical cable (the CX300 has a short left ear, and round-the-neck longer right ear cable), but the fit from the medium ear tips is perfect for me and the way they block outside sound comparable or perhaps slightly better than the CX's.
The sound is like nothing I've ever heard. I listen to everything from Beethoven to Metallica, but mostly tested these on a middle ground of Norah Jones, Sting and My Chemical Romance. The detail is stunning, the bass is fluid and warm, and voices and mid-range instruments like sax sound as though either you are in a room listening to them, or they are inside your head. It actually doesn't sound like listening through earphones, which is impressive beyond anything I have heard before. Trebles are clear without being too sharp, and I noticed little things like hearing the difference between different snares, or triangles being played quietly in the background. Stings voice is amazing when he's blasting out in full voice, but on the mellower songs like Moon Over Bourbon Street I could hear every nuance of emotion too.... Read more ›

As a lot of reviewers have said, these are great earphones for sound and comfort, but within a year the volume suddenly dropped dramatically in one ear. What a lot of reviewers haven't realised is that this isn't a fault - it just means that the filters need changing. It's disappointing to have to pay extra for new filters so soon (pack of 8 for 10 pounds which should at least last several years), so factor this in. Other than that, highly recommended.

I'm not a great review writer but I'm so pleased with my Phonak 012s that I feel moved to write something about them.
I think I've found my perfect in-ears with the 012s. I've worked my way up over the years from generic earbuds to a pair of Sennheiser CX300s, then Klipsch Image S4s and now the Phonaks and I've noticed a worthwhile improvement with each step.
The S4s are excellent earphones but I find the bass is a bit overdone, uneven and unnatural sounding, whereas the Phonaks have a very smooth and even performance over the entire frequency range. The bass goes as low as the S4s but it's tighter and more well defined. The mids are full, bright and clear and there's no shrillness or sibilance at the top end. The music just sounds more natural and there seems to be more 'air' (is that what audiophiles call 'soundstage'?) than with any other IEMs I've tried. With well recorded music I'm able to hear every little nuance - things like vocal breath sounds, string buzz, fret noise etc., are clearer than I've ever heard before.
They are also the most comfortable and least fiddly in-ears I've ever tried - they just go in and stay there with a really good seal. Absolutely fantastic for late-night listening in bed or for a nice walk on the beach.
I listen to mostly blues and 60s/70s rock on my Cowon J3 with high bitrate mp3s and I think the biggest compliment I can give the Phonaks is that after a couple of minutes I just forget they are there.

Unable to review properly.
Unable to give a proper review as I could not get them to stay in my ears. They sounded ok if I held them in but as soon as I let go, out they came. Read more
