Design and features:The Sportz Titanium has low sensitivity; so while it can provide satisfying volume levels when used with home audio equipment and higher powered portable audio devices, it may not be a good match for lower-powered portables. This model is claimed by the manufacturer to be water resistant and comes with a USB charging cable, a removable shirt clip, and a storage bag.
Sound quality: We found the Sportz Titanium delivers sound quality that falls in the fair range, meaning that it has sonic shortcomings that leave a lot to be desired when listening to music but don't rule it out for dialog and communication. The overall sound can be summarized as telephone-like. What little bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) it has is very subdued and lacks impact and depth. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is hazy, congested (think sonic traffic jam), somewhat thin and nasal, and at times sounds a bit distorted. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound reminiscent of bacon frying) and very subdued, and the upper treble is muted. It doesn't recover room ambience (the sound of the recording space) from recordings well which lends it a closed-in sound (sound-wise it seems that you have something covering your ears, even though with this design you obviously don't) and the overall sound lacks a bit of liveliness.
Comfort: We found that these earphones produce a slightly sense of pressure in front of the ears and fit securely even with vigorous head movement. When they are played loudly a vibration can be felt that might feel like an electric shock (but it's not).
