Query: Maybe OK as a spare

I bought these because I thought they'd be better than the headphones that came with my Nano-they are actually quite inferior. I keep them as a spare only. The sound is really harsh, grating, with little to no bass. The different eq settings barely made any difference. I since bought the Sennheiser CX 300S in-ear monitor-these rule! For less that $20 more you get vastly, I mean vastly superior sound quality. As a matter of fact, when I first got the Sennheiser's I thought they sounded a little muddy, then I turned off the eq and like magic perfect sound, perfect balance. I really feel kind of ripped off by Apple on these.
