Are these better in any way to the orginal versions Sound wise?

These were bought as a gift and the recipient said the sound was awesome and the plugs block out noise very well. If you are active, you may have a problem with the plugs staying in your ears, depending on the sport or exercise you are doing..

In my opinion they are identical in terms of sound. The flat cords seem less fragile and tangle less. In my mind that is an improvement in terms of usability. I bought them to use with my phone. I still use the S4's with my mp3 player. If S4's are still working and you do not need the phone function there is no reason to upgrade other than the cords but that I do not think that is worth it. Best if luck.

There is no enhancement of the music quality. They just added a couple of plug in features. The older version is just as good as the newer in sound quality.

Sonically, they are no different from the US version. They are distinctly a higher end set of headphones, with very neutral tonalities. You'll enjoy listening to them. As far as the instructions are concerned, I did the same thing as others here, did. I downloaded the English version of the instructions.

you will have to refine your question. Better in what way? Better fit to your speakers, better frequency response over a part of the spectrum you are interested in, able to withstand larger voltage spikes without damage to the speaker...? Generally, "better" means better for you. Your ears, your amplifier, your installed location. This is a complicated questions and I don't have the information I need to answer it.

Hi Alex.. Well I think so..put it this way they are the closest I've found in my hunt to the originals however I've noticed the holes are actually smaller...not sure how it actually affects the sound as the do stretch to go over the ear piece. Hope this helps. I do like all of the sizes...so maybe you can make them work. Bummer that beats doesn't just tell us how to get their originals...perhaps there was a design flaw in the originals though...

I would say that these are an upgrade. Especially for vocals and better controlled bass. These have really good imaging and detail. These will definitely reveal low quality audio files.

Clearer sound, better quality and more balanced. Also they have a different material. The original tracks have the SOL emblem just decalled or painted on, but these are actually engraved in.

In my opinion, yes. They last just as long and perform just as good. I hope this helps!

I really dont know but i imagine the newer versions may be slightly more open sound i'm happy with the original, though it does have a fantastic effect on music files with a good set of headphones

I have had the chance to listen to both of them, I would definitively recommend the Energy Micro, better sound when compared to the classic, check my review of these set, also take a look at the pictures, I have side by side comparison of both sets.

Yes.....the overall sound quality is better. Good bass, excellent mids and highs. Love this thing and would recommend it to everyone.

The Elixirs have a more trebly snap to them - a very specific sound, maybe a little tinny. The EXPs are definitely warmer, fuller in the bass. I prefer the EXPs for sound.

I'm not sure (no pun intended) what qualifies as "better", I believe they are pretty much the same (thinking of foam design and density). The real advantage is that the Shure tips are intended for Shure products, and I have had great luck with them. Fit, both in your ear and on the device is the key to great sound, at truth be told, these are the cheap part, but in short I think they are more the same than different. I hope that helps.

To be honest in my opinion I would say no there is better options available but they are pretty good the sound is not like the dre beats that have bass the sound is really just clear you could hear music in detail every sound if thats more what your looking for
