Altec Muzx Mesh Noise Isolating Earphones MZX106

This is the second pair I bought they're very comfortable,clear&crisp sound and surprisingly they have plenty of bass! I mainly use these for the gym the first pair I have still work perfect I just wanted a back up pair just in case I lost my other ones. From experience they're very durable and keeps sweat from getting in my ear like ipod earbuds when I workout.

Heavier bass than I typically enjoy but I was looking for a cheap pair to wear on airplanes that would not be annoying for everyone around me. These fit the bill.

I purchased these to listen with my Sansa Fuze mp3 player. Great match other than I would have to turn it up all the way to really drown out the outside noise in the gym or on the airplane. So I picked up a Fiio E6 headphone amplifier. The three together are absolutely amazing! The bass is phenomenal for such a small set of headphones! I listened to Nemesis's "Munchies For Your Bass" with them and you actually feel vibration from the output! Absolutely no distortion even at excruciating volumes! "Africa" by TOTO sounds blissful! Try "Alchemy" by Above and Beyond, as well. Between the headphones and the amplifier, I spent $40. I have heard much more expensive headphones even with an amplifier and these sound better. Maybe I just got lucky, but I am downright surprised with these headphones even without the amp! Try the same setup I have and you will be happy! Make sure you have a few FLAC tracks to load to your mp3 player to give them a real test.
