The way they were talked up, I had the expectation that these would be the "Be All/End All" of ear buds, but I was left wanting more.

The foam tips also I found awkward to put in my ears, moreso than previous foam tip style earbuds in the past.

Just my .02...maybe I am in the minority.

For the price though, it definitely is impulse buy range, and the way I looked at it, I was only out $20 (2 for 1 promo). But I don't think I'll be purchasing them in the future.
Airbuds are the ones who kept spamming to FlyerTalk (see the post a few above this). I think all the hype was generated by that one spammer.
