Way too expensive (nearly £14 at time of purchase)... And why do manufacturers of in-ear 'phones automatically assume that "Bass boost" is the holy grail? You simply cannot get a tight, meaty bass from such small 'phones - you end up with something woolly and boomy which does NOT make the music any clearer, louder or more exciting. Wouldn't a nice crisp treble be worth having though? Suffice to say, these 'phones have neither - and you can get a much better sound for half the cost. That said, they are STILL better than the 'phones bundled with the 2nd Gen iPod nano...
