Design and features:The earphones have medium-high sensitivity so they can provide satisfying volume levels when used with home audio equipment and even lower-powered portable audio devices. The ActionFit Sport SHQ2305 has an integrated microphone and player function controls that are compatible with iPads, some iPods, and some iPhones and some other cellphones. The call connect/disconnect button can be used with some iPhones and some other cellphones. These earphones may not operate properly with some non-Apple/non-Android mobile devices or other audio equipment. This model is claimed by the manufacturer to be water resistant and comes with three pairs of ear pieces in various sizes, a removable shirt clip, and a carrying bag.
Sound quality: We found the ActionFit Sport SHQ2305 delivers sound quality that falls in the very good range - it reproduces music and voice very well although it does have some noticeable sonic quirks. The overall sound can best be summarized as neutral (neither full nor lean), bassy, and somewhat bright. Bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep, but is slightly prominent an boomy. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is fairly even, but somewhat grainy. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended but somewhat prominent. The sound has a good sense of liveliness and is fairly open -- sound-wise it almost seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears.
Comfort: We found that these earphones fit and stay in place with no problems, but they produce a sense of pressure in the ear opening that might be uncomfortable for some.
