Are any vocalists using these as their in ears? What are your thoughts?

I doubt it... These are tuned to boost bass end. Vocalists I know usually want flatter response throughout the spectrum.

For me personally they are great I hear no sounds other than what I am listening to while using them.

I think these are better than average at not leaking sound at reasonable volume levels. However, I would turn your music down when you take these off. They sound like little speakers when they are not pressed to your head.

No, I don't think that other people can hear these earphones under normal conditions. One of their advantages is being able to play quietly. If you listen with only one, the sound is not adequate. You need one in each ear to hear properly. The in-ear design reduces ambient sound, and makes possible comfortable low volume listening.

Al-tiay & Jackson Martin seem like they know what there doing !! I just use mine to record vocals ( singer ). But there answers seem helpful !!

No, they aren't exactly comfortable. I would recommend the etymotics over these all day. As a stage musician I tried both and these ones muffled things worse than the old school spongy ones.

All I can say is I've been enjoying them since I received them last week- I neither can really speak for others' subjective experience, nor did I read every review. I usually listen to heavy bass music, & these have been great. Today I actually listened to some quieter ambient music, & I still really liked the way they worked. For the money, you can't really go wrong to give them a go. I hope you're happy w/them if you do...

I wouldn't. Live music situations are usually quite loud, and you would have to turn these up as loud or louder to be able to hear much. If you were using them for a phone conversation, then 1) you'd need a good mic, and 2) you'd still have to have the volume up to compete with the music. It'd be like having a conversation with someone who's there with you: you have to shout over the music and they do, too, for you to be able to hear them.

I think they have plenty of bass. Guess it depends on what you're listening to. Hard rock/heavy metal sounds great. But if you're listening to (c)rap and want the distortion, maybe not for you.

These are not sound canceling but the bass and sound is good...you kinda have to press on ears. I can hear myself when I Sing with the music, but I kinda like it! :-)

I bought them and they broke like a week later, I tried to get a refund but the seller won't respond to my messages. When they did work for that week the bass was to high and I couldn't hear the vocals. I would just spend the extra money to get them in a store with a warranty. I hope this helps you

I've had people ask about using bass heads connecting to a PA speaker for bass gigs, but this is the other way?? I think the "growl" from head will taint the sound output. Also you should watch out for the amount of heat it will be generating running consistent full range at high volume which I don't think these are made for to handle.

Yes, just tried it, sounds good! Remember though, these are flat monitor headphones, they are not meant to accentuate bass or any other graphic band.

No, pretty good in that regard. They have a piece you can add on that hooks into the ear to hold it in/in place. Their only problem is in their main purpose. They sound horrible.

Hi Jobin - You know, I really don't use them much, so I really can't comment. I went back and see if they work, and they do, and there doesnt seem too much background noise. Hope that helps.

I use them for singing onstage. They filter out the bad frequencies so it doesn't sound muffled. I'm not sure they would be recommended for shooting a gun.

Hello, I am about to purchase these for use in my cell phone (palm pre). I listen to music (streaming radio and mp3's) all day while at work. I work in a 10x10 cubicle with high walls. Is the sound leaking high enough that it may bother my co-workers? I do not listen to music very loud because I have tennitus which loud noises aggrivates. Also do you have any experience using these with 128kbps sound files? I know that is low, but it is what most streaming music is sent in. Thanks,
