10/10 COMFORT! Sound is great too

Holy crap these are the best earphones I've ever used, not necessarily in sound but definitely in comfort, they fit exactly in your ear and SIT in your earlobe so that there is never any problems of it falling out, blocks out sound really nicely and i can focus on my work much easier even when there is loudness around me. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I bought these for $40. 2-3 weeks ago. I wear glasses, headphones that are both affordable and comfortable have been hard to find. These are far and away the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned. The night I received them, I sat in them for about 8 hours in a stretch. Since then, I usually put them on in the evenings for 2-3 hours. Logitech's website has these with an MSRP of $79.99. If I were to pay $80, they'd be wireless. The sound is mostly great, but the positional audio feels a bit echo-ey sometimes. These have also tricked me as masterfully as the surround sound in my living room. From the range of my experience I think those echos are mostly the fault of the source audio, not the headphones. Finally, the fold out microphone for those times it's needed is handy, and it hides well when it's not needed.

While I am quite happy with my purchase, my experience has been a bit different from others' reviews:

Build and Comfort:  Both are great.  I love the detachable cables (except as noted below), and the fit is great as-is, out of the box.  Comfort is great, and the way that these sit in my ears ... it's hard to describe - you don't have to shove them deep down into your ear canals, they kind of ... seal and float.  I could wear them all day.

Noise Isolation/Cable Noise:  The isolation from external noise seems great to me: I completely failed to hear my wife yelling at me yesterday ... not actually a good thing, perhaps.  But as reported by others there is a fair amount of cable-originated noise due to friction caused by movements (microphonics).  I think this point just goes to how you plan to use these headphones.

Sound:  I burned these in for a couple of hours, but still, just plugging them in to any of my sources (Macbook Pro, Ipod, high-end Android phone), I originally found the sound to be slightly muddy.  Great bass response, but slightly muddy mids, vague highs.  The overall sound texture was just not there - and that's not the experience I have had with other IEM's.

However, after playing with the equalizer settings, I am glad to report that the sound from the headphones CAN BE simply amazing.  While I hate having to fiddle with things unnecessarily ... in this case, I have concluded that it's worth it.  (I suspect the need for the equalizer has to do with the size of the drivers, and that sound cards need help providing the signals necessary to make the good things happen ....).  The overall sound I would describe as a fun, clear richness - not the boomy and headache-inducing sound you can find all over the place (I won't name offenders here).

Overall, if you are planning to sit still, and you don't mind building an equalized pre-set or two, then these are absolutely (really) worth buying.  I'm listening now, rediscovering my music.

Final note:  I think Onkyo has an App out there somewhere, for high-resolution sound.  I can imagine that that would be a great match for these headphones, but I have not looked it up yet - so, no comment, but high hopes.

I bought these a couple days ago because my old headphones finally gave out, and I was looking for a replacement. My old headphones were more bassy than they were with treble, which gave me a muddy sound, but for the price, these are phenomenal! Bass doesn't outweigh the treble, and sound great. Very comfortable too.

I had been looking for a comfortable set of earbuds, so I was delighted to try these when I was offered a complimentary set to check out. I have both an iPhone and an iPad, and enjoy listening to meditation music at night as well as while I am working during the day.

I was VERY pleased when I received these, and once I replaced the silicone earpiece with the smallest one and sorted out which was right and which was left, these not only fit, they were comfortable!

But that was only the beginning. I was surprised by the subtleties in the music. I could actually hear the difference in quality between the CDs I had loaded onto my computer and the full toned versions of songs I downloaded from ITunes. It was subtle, but when a novice like me can tell the difference, you know it is there!

I tested these with a huge variety of kinds of music, Billy Ocean, Ann Murray, Oak Ridge Boys, and a Symphonic Orchestra. I played meditation tracks with voice in the foreground and music in the background. They passed every test, and the more I listened to them, the more I liked them.

I even gave them the ultimate test and took a nap with them in my ears. This is a true test, since my positional sleep apnea requires me to sleep on my side. The only problem I found was I enjoyed the sound so much I didn't want to fall asleep.

The shape and comfort of the earplugs minimizes, but does not totally eliminate outside sounds. It is like having a conversation going on a room over. However, I notice that if I press them against my ears, the sound is almost completely gone. Since I have such small ears, this may be the setting other experience naturally.

Very highly recommended!

Edited:
After checking out a different pair of earbuds that had been bothering my ears, I realized that the thing that makes these so comfortable is the shape. Unlike others, these have a tiny front, and they slide into my ears, where others press against my ears, even with the small tip. The others just don't fit right.

I have slept as long as 6 hours with these in my ears and still find them tremendously comfortable.

Second edit:
I have now been using these for six months on a daily basis. In the meantime, I have sampled many other earphones, including ones that sell for much higher amounts. These remain my favorites in the area of comfort. I think I am officially addicted. :-)

I have my headphones on almost all day when I work, so I really needed a very comfortable pair.  These totally fit the bill.  The ear cups are nice and squishy and feel very light on my head.  Contrary to some other reviews, I didn't find them tight at all, and I have a pretty big noggin.  The sound is great - clear, sharp, good range.  The cord is really long, which is also good for me since my desk area is over 6' long.  For the price, you can't beat these headphones.

and I have never been more pleased with a pair of headphones. The sound is amazing and the sound insulation is awesome. Loud noises and obnoxious people no longer bother me thanks to the awesome sound insulation on these headphones. I love the deep bass and clarity in the music, I can hear and enjoy notes that Ive only ever heard on very nice sound systems.
First let me say that ive never owned a pair of ear cup headphones, so I might be slightly biased in saying that these are simply the most comfortable headphones ever!. I do not play games or such, however, i do wear headphones for music anywhere from 6 to 10 hours a day. Over the past two years or so I've used regular headphones (Skullcandy and Sony), sports clip (Sony), and multiple pairs of in-ear headphones. I have finally settled on a brand and style.

My only regret is that I did not buy these when I saw the post on 9gag such a long time ago. Hopefully these last for a lengthy time,

From the moment I put these on I was in love with the sound!  I am a budding audiophile so I will admit that I have not had a chance to audition these next to the HD 650s, Grados or any of the other super-high-end cans that people often compare these to  so I cannot offer any guidance as far as how these may be better or worse than any of those.

What I can say is that compared to my Bose AE2 headphones, my Shure earbuds or the stock Apple headphones the soundstage on these is amazing.  The first thing I noticed when I put these on is that music had a warmer sound and I felt more like I was sitting in a room filled with music rather than just like my head was filled with music).  I have a feeling that the open back design really makes a difference because it does not reflect the sound waves coming off the back of the cones off the back and into the ear.  It does not have the punchy bass of the Bose headphones - so I will admit that music that is meant to be bass heavy will not get the boost from these that classic rock and piano and guitar jazz do.  I have found these headphones to be very comfortable.  They have a heft that suggests they are well made and durable but they still feel like on your head and the pressure and padding are just right.  Also, and maybe this is also due to the open back design, my ears don't feel as warm after several hours of continuous wear.

As for my equipment I am hooking these up to a 2012 iMac using B&W MM-1's as my DAC/Amp and playing music from iTunes.  The source material is a mix of Apple Lossless and high nitrate AAC and MP3 files. -- I should point out these are 300Ohm cans so they do take more power to run.  I have to turn the volume up a lot more on the MM-1s and in iTunes than I would ever do to wear the Bose AE2's comfortably!

I will test them out on my Yamaha receiver shortly thanks to the included 1/8->1/4 adapter that is included.

I just received these today, so will report back later if I change my mind, but...so far, it was extremely easy to get up and running.  I easily paired the headphones with my Macbook Pro and my iPhone 6 plus with no issues whatsoever.  I am listening inside my apartment.  I haven't used the noise canceling option, nor have I gone outside with them yet.  The sound is...glorious.  I listen to everything from classic rock to folk, pop, classical...I love music.  :-)  I am in heaven.  Comfort--very comfortable to wear...the leather is soft and fits nicely around my ears.  Sound--clear, clean, balanced.  Customer support:  I had a quick question and was able to chat online with a technical representative immediately and was helped with my inquiry.  I hope to enjoy these for years to come.  These are expensive, but life is short, and if you want to hear sounds you've never heard in your recordings, then buy these wonderful headphones.

First and foremost, the sound quality on these are fantastic. The sound clarity and frequency response are all absolutely top-notch. Very well may be the best-sounding pair of headphones I've ever owned, without exaggeration. The build quality is stellar. They feel - and look - incredibly sturdy, and are COMFY! These aren't just tolerable, they're actively enjoyable for me to wear.
The microphone is bendable, with a high degree of adjustability, and it allows little-to-no background noise in. My wife and I tend to game together in our small living room, and when she and I are yelling at super-intense moments, there is very little cross-talk.
The cord-mounted volume controls are excellent as well. The sliding wheel allows you to do very fine adjustments, so that everything is juuuuust the right volume.
These have legitimately transformed my wife's and my gaming experience. I hope I get many hours of ancient defending out of them.

I was skeptical of all the 5 star reviews for such an inexpensive Bluetooth earbud set. I have to say that I'm blown away at the quality, comfort, and sound of these. I can't attest to battery life yet, but I've  been listening for many hours and they're still going strong. Range is normal at about 30 ft. Pairing is much faster than my previous set and it seems to play much nicer with my equipment than my previous set. Phone calls are good too!

Update weeks later. Still love these things! Battery life is every bit of 8 hours at reasonable volume and the comfort is amazing. I can wear these all day without any discomfort. Phone calls actually work good too. I was skeptical of that feature, but I've carried on several conversations without any issue. I have no idea where the mic is located, but it works just fine.

I've only been using the headphones for a couple weeks with my Amazon Fire Phone, and my usual rule is to try a product out for at least 30 days before writing a review. In this instance, I felt compelled to at least put a cursory review up as I have been VERY impressed with these headphones. I am a casual audiophile, and I have tried many headphones, and ear-buds.  I will say that the sound isn't comparable to high end headphones but I was sufficiently impressed with the sound quality!  I could hear all the instruments, vocals, and even almost feel the bass from the mids and lows.

I am very impressed with the sound!  The one, slight negative I have with the sound is that there is a slight, noticeable hiss when the volume is turned up on the actual headset.  The way to eliminate that is to just turn the volume on the headset down and turn it up on your mobile device.

The one thing I kind of struggled with at the beginning is placing the ear-buds properly in my ears.  If they are slightly off the sound quality is reduced sounding quieter or even muffled.  Proper placement results in some amazing sound though.

The rubber plug that covers the charging port is tough to get out, and to get in, but it fits snugly and I like that, as it does what it is meant to, protecting the actual plug.  My biggest concern with the plug though is that it is so tight that I think it might get damaged with repeated chargings.

Bluetooth pairing is fast, easy, and stable, with decent range.  I don't get the loss of signal when I turn my head like I have on other units.

The actual headsets are comfortable and with the included rubber pieces i was able to have it perfectly fit my ear and they stay in, no matter how much I move or work out at the gym.

I think the biggest test will be how long they last, as durability seems to be one of the bigger complaints. So if there is interest I will definitely update this review with my experiences as time goes on.

DISCLAIMER: I was given a sample unit by the company. I did not promise them a review but seeing as I used it, and I love to review things, I was more than happy to provide a fair review to help other users make an informed purchase.

The sound is godly amazing and crisp! And with the comfort I always have this habit of twitching my ears so regular headphones would fall out my ears! And with most that hand on my ears hurt! These are soooooooooo perfect! The are comfortable, stay on, clear sound, and doesn't leak sound said by my friends even when I had the volume all the way which is super loud and that's coming from someone who likes it extremely loud! Would recommend to anyone who is struggling with comfort, and need something with good sound that's inexpensive! Not to mention very lightweight and I don't like using those bulky headphones! XP Love it. Couldn't be happier!

I heard these in store and mentioned them to Santa, who miraculously put them under the tree this year.  I have a normal sized head and I've found them to be quite comfortable.  I wore them today, continuously for over 3 hours and never had any headphone fatigue, so I'm not sure what anyone has experienced, but I'm in love.  The iPhone App is fantastic.  I love how I can customize my listening experience.  I haven't quite warmed up to Concert Hall, but then these sound so fantastic without it, it would hardly matter if I never use that feature.

Battery life so far is decent.  No, they won't play for 18 hours, but after hours of listening with ANC and Bluetooth today, I sill have 80% left, so that's pretty darn good to me.  Since the battery can be removed, I'm waiting for Parrot to offer the option to buy a 2nd battery to have an extra with me.  They'll supposedly have one available in the next few weeks.  I'll order one as soon as they do.

The design and build quality is simply beautifully done.  I love the metal earcup arms.  They're really beautifully executed.  I'm not a Beats fan as I find them to be too punchy sounding, especially on the bass end.  I also find them to sound unnaturally bright.  But these Zik 2.0's are just perfect.  I have speakers from France in my home system, so maybe these French designed headphones just sound more like home to me.  But I also think they sound more natural.  They just won't blow you away with heart thumping bass, or headache inducing treble, which doesn't sound natural to me to begin with.  I also really like the adjustable Noise Cancelling option in the iPhone App.  You can make the outside simply disappear, or at the touch of a finger from the App, allow some of the outside world to creep in.  Really Nice!

They paired instantly with my iPhone and I've even worn them while eating, without any issues as some others have commented.  The finger gesture controls are fun and very simple to master quickly.  Being able to place your finger on the side of the earcup and bring up Siri to make a call is cool as is using a simple "tap" to answer a call.  I found the sound quality to be quite good during a phone call as well.

All in all, I can't say enough great things about the Parrot Zik 2.0.  $400 may seem a lot to pay for headphones.  But the combination of style, quality materials, an incredibly intelligent and intuitive control system from your smartphone, with incredibly natural sound makes these a wonderful addition to my sound toybox!

I highly recommend you give them a listen and you'll see how terrific these are.

I bought these headphones without knowing anyone who has them or seeing them in action, so I kind of took a chance ... a chance which turned out to be a fantastic choice!

These headphone are extremely comfortable to wear.  The sound quality (I'm no audiophile ...) is some of the best I've heard -- even rivaling that of the in-ear Bose headphones I used to use.

What I like best about these headphones it the noise cancellation.  Coworkers around my workstation tend to have relatively loud conversations, which tend to distract me.  Put the headphones in, turn on music at a reasonable volume level, and enjoy the peaceful bliss that is now work.  :) Even without music turned on, the headphones cut down on a lot of noise.

If I were to list one complaint it would be that the noise cancellation is a bit *too* good when using the headphones as a hands-free connection to my phone, as the normal echo that your ears process is missing as sound bounces off the walls in your environment.  To mitigate this I use only one of the earbuds and let the other one dangle.

To summarize, I'm very happy with this product and will look to buy another set of headphones from Ultimate Ears when the time comes!

wonderful! Most comfortable and versatile headphones that I have owned.

I really enjoy these headphones. I have small ears so most ear buds either do not fit in my ears or they do, but eventually fall out very easily. These earbuds have rubber tips, which first of all (and most importantly for me) keeps them in place! They do not fall out, not even when I'm running or if I accidentally tug on the cord. Most of the others fall out even if I just turn my head.

Secondly, they are so comfortable. The rubber is nice and soft and does a great job of cushioning the user's ears instead of compressing them. The hard plastic ones were awful in this sense. Sometimes they even felt like they were cutting into my ear.

Next is the sound quality of the ear buds. I listen to songs that tend to have a fair amount of bass. These ear buds really pick up the bass in my songs and it does so without distorting the song! It makes the music sound as if I am playing it in my car's amazing sound system.

These headphones also have a built in microphone, which works very well if you are video chatting (face time, skype, etc). I can talk a lot quieter without worrying if the other person can hear me, because the mic is right near. I am told from the people I use video chat with that the sound quality of the mic is very nice, with very little feedback or outside noise.

Overall, I'm very happy with these headphones! It's better than buying the cheap ones that break or stop working after a few days. These have lasted me quite a while and I use them very frequently.
