Design and features:These 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 Reimers have an integrated microphone and music player function control 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. It has reflective audio cable and the manufacturer claims that it is moisture resistant. This model comes with three pairs of ear pieces in various sizes and two removable shirt clips.
Sound quality: We found the Reimers delivers sound quality that falls in the good range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. The overall sound can best be summarized as somewhat muffled. Bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has decent impact, but the midbass is somewhat prominent, and deep bass is lacking. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is somewhat even, but soft, somewhat congested (think sonic traffic jam), and a bit grainy. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is somewhat extended, but smeared (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer sound blurred) and subdued. The sound is somewhat closed-in (sound-wise it is somewhat obvious that you have something covering your ears) and lacks a bit of liveliness.
Comfort: We found that these earphones fit and stay in place with no problems. The ear bowl support ear pieces are very stable even with vigorous head movement.
