I've had the previous triple driver before, the cable started failing in a year or 2 of continuous usages (I wasn't very careful all the time). I needed to purchase some new buds because of this and after a good solid look I still went for 1more again because of the excellent sound quality for the price that the previous model had. I've had these buds for very long now (probably 3+ years) and the buds are still in the same shape as they came out of the box. The sound quality is even better, not allot but you notice more detail compared to the previous model. But the build quality is so much better, they improved all the weak points like the cable and where the cable goes into the bud itself. I wouldn't be surprised if these buds survive another 3-5 years of abuse. The sound of these buds is very good. They are well balanced but with a good punch on the low end (I prefer some bass). You get allot (I mean ALLOT) of eartips to choose from so you will find a perfect fit for your ears. If you don't mind the wired earbuds, these are the ones that you should go for. They are worth the higher price tag. And they look pretty slick as well ;)

These headphones were spectacular! First off, they came in a very unique package - which was awesome. It was sort of shaped like a book, with all the essentials inside (picture attached). The headphone quality is great! They fit better in my ear than Apple Headphones, and the sound quality is the same, if not better. The headphones also have a control system on the right cord, for volume and play/pause, as well as a microphone for phone calls. The headphones come with a nifty leather carrying case - which is a nice added bonus. Aside from the carrying case, they also include 8 different sized ear plugs. I highly recommend these headphones, and I do not think they will disappoint! Extremely satisfied!
