Sound quality: We found the TAT2205 delivers sound quality that falls in the good range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep, but is very prominent and boomy. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is fairly even, but is somewhat grainy, hazy, and a bit dark and congested, and depending on the program material the bass can somewhat overwhelm the lower midrange. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended but is a bit prominent somewhat smeared and sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound reminiscent of bacon frying). The sound also has a good sense of liveliness and is somewhat open--sound-wise it almost seems like you don't have anything plugging up your ears and does a decent job of recovering room ambience. Warm character. The overall sound can be summarized as a very bassy and somewhat grainy hazy.
Comfort: We found that these earphones as typical of in-ear models produce a sense of pressure in the ear canal opening might be uncomfortable for some. Users with small earbowls might find that the earphone body feels a bit bulky in their earbowl and that they stick out too far and feel like they may lever out of place, but that they will stay in place during casual use and are fairly stable during vigorous head movement. Users with medium and larger sized ear bowls will probably find that this model stays in place with no problems for casual use and that they are stable even during vigorous head movement.
