Guys. This is probably my favourite product among this price range. I have owned the teal color and then went for the black ones. The sound is very good. If you are an actual audiophile then you are a nitpicky person and probably should go for a 5k+ earphone pair. I love these. 2 of my friends also own these but all of the 4 pairs we had suffered problems after 6months of usage. Sure the warranty covers it and you get a new pair of earphones but if yours survive till the end of the warranty then the rubberized portion that holds the wire and is joined to the driver housing will break [ like you bend an eraser too much and it starts to rip] and you will have to buy a new one. I use them roughtly to put it lightly but for a product made to be used in the gym, this is a no brainer. Even though this price range is average for the current price ranges these problems are caused by poor manufacturing problems. The portion breaking, drivers losing their volume and bass, and the wire sheath ripping [which causes rashes because the inner wire is rough and sturdy. What most sites fail to mention is their water resistance. I have worn these in god awful rains and no problem happened. This review is a trainwreck but to sum it up. Buy them if you will buy another pair if they get damaged or will keep them carefully. Dont worry about the water on mic since i havent gotten any problem in both my pairs [Dont start swimming with them though] If you buy a hard case then absolutely go for them since they wont break if they get stuck somewhere or anything. I use them quite roughly so thats why that part started to break but you shouldnt worry about buying them. They are worth every penny and the driver problem is encountered by few and occurs within the warranty period [and are easily replaced]. The smokin buds 2 are not good and the build is plain bad. Look for A-Jays / JBL / Sony if these don't cut it for you.

I'm using this earphones for more then a week now, I have many other earphones too but I bought this for gym and running.Sound is not as good as expected and compare to other earphones in same price range. But it's best for running and sports use because the fit is awesome and it doesn't fall off, I think it serves it's purpose and it's best for sports use. Go for it.
