Pros: The sound quality is pretty nice. The burn in period recommended by Meelectronics does matter. The package of eartips offer a degree of customization I was very happy with.

Cons: The craftmanship was very poor. I had read reviews thoroughly across the internet and so far, it seems like I'm not the only one that felt that it needed work. The wires themselves are really thin and feels like they can easily rip. They're already beginning to disconnect from the actual ear pieces themselves, and I have to occasionally attempt to twist them back into the earpiece. Be REALLY careful when changing the eartips, as even a slight tug can pull the metal piece off of the earbuds. I managed to sort of shove them back in once more, but seriously...these are some significant flaws. The clip that comes on the wire was really unattractive and took a bit of maneuvering to remove. If you do decide to remove it, just make sure you're really careful as to not cut the cord by mistake.

Overall Review: I've reached out to Meelectronics directly to see if they're willing to replace the unit, or at least take a look at it. I was really hoping that these were "the one." Sad that my old Zune premium earphones outlasted these by a long shot.
