I've had the headphones for a week. Used with an iPhone 3Gs. Constant complaints from others with echos, voice fading out and breaking up. Not acceptable for a headset advertised to be built for the iPhone. They are going back today.
What's great about it: Sound is great
What's not so great: Mic is horrible
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Absolute worst headset I've ever owned

A friend has the Vibe 2 and loves them. I bought these instead because they were in stock and also had a built in microphone. Maybe because I have a small ear but I couldn't get them to stay in. I tried all the sizes and sitting on an airplane they just fell out. If I jammed them in so they'd stay, they hurt after 15 minutes. Also the right side (the side with the microphone) shorted out after a day. I had to move the wire around to get sound.
The sound was awesome, but the construction and quality was lousy. Thankfully Best Buy took them back without a problem. I'm loving my new Sony ear buds that cost a lot less.
What's great about it: Sound
What's not so great: Fit, Reliability, Quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I received these as a gift. When I first open the package I was excited because I've heard good things about this brand. Within the first 3 seconds after plugging them into my iPhone I was truly disappointed. The sound was not what I was expecting. The bass is there, and it's tight, but mid range and treble are lacking. I've tried all the EQ settings on the iPhone, but was unhappy with all the results. I was using a cheap set of Skullcandy Inked earbuds (without any EQ) and those sound way better to me IMO. Do yourself a favor and avoid these and try another brand. Maybe the more expensive V-Moda's sound better.
What's great about it: Somewhat stylish. Comfortable in ear. Equal length cable for each ear.
What's not so great: Sound quality. Price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Tinny sound, inferior mic

Just bought it and I'm going to return tomorrow. On way home I tested it out by calling a friend and had him listen to me with and without the headset plugged in. He said there was no comparing. Without was much, much better. With the headset plugged in in sound quality as "okay".
Earbuds are tinny and lacking midrange. That is something I could have lived with if the mic was good. Being a consultant, though, who spends a lot of time on the phone, I can't have my paying clients struggling to hear what I'm saying so I'm probably going to pony up for the $130 to get the Bose which I hear are amazing.
What's great about it: Not sure anything is actually GREAT about it. Tangle free wire I guess.
What's not so great: Mic is inferior. Friends said I sound my voice sounds as if at about half strength.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: mic sounds great
What's not so great: Quality is just ok
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

ANY movement or even just touching the wires sends "loud scratchy" noises to the other person. EVERYONE COMPLAINS!!!! The whole point of these is to wear them and talk on the phone so I can move around and not have my phone held to my head. Even the slightest movement is picked up and amplified to the other person. I dont even need to touch the mic, at any spot on the wires or the slightest movement is sent as very loud scratchy noises that is far louder than my voice to the other person, Also lots of back round noises are sent just as loud as my voice. These make conversations VERY frustrating for me and the other person. I've tried to clip them in so many different ways to minimize the noise and NOTHING WORKS. The Mic totally makes these horrible. DO NOT BUY.
What's great about it: They feel nice and snug in my ears...BUT....
What's not so great: THE MIC IS HORRIBLE!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If the mic and one-button AND in-line remote is important to you, there are only a dozen or so in-ears I know of on the market right now that will accommodate you without using an adapter.
These are certainly not the cheapest, but not even close to the most expensive buds you can buy. That being said, they sound pretty good for their cost, and much better than some cheaper and better than a few (much) more expensive buds I've tried.
The bass is full, but not booming. The lower midrange is very prominent, but again, seems to be right on with the volume level. Midrange is weaker but not to where vocals get lost. Upper midrange seems to drop off significantly. The treble is weak, but better than upper midrange. It gets harsh though at times, loosing definition when there's also a lot of bass in the music.
I listen to Rock at moderate (midway on an iPhone/iPod) volumes. Your experience and preference will be a lot different at different volumes and with different music.
After two hours of wear with the medium size earpieces (small ones are installed originally and too small to seal well for me,) I did start to notice a small bit of discomfort. More than enough to notice, but not enough to cause pain. I've had a lot better experiences with comfort out of other buds.
Given the price and the price of alternatives, if you are considering these, give them a listen, they might be perfect for you.
I'm going to keep them, but they probably wont be my primary headphones.
What's great about it: Works great with iPhone 3G
What's not so great: Lacking in upper midrange, treble is harsh
I would recommend this to a friend!
