Do these have the same noise isolation ability as the concert earbuds (z14)? How is the sound quality of phone calls?

Unknown about the concert question. I found the sound quality on phone calls was excellent.

Hi Caroline, no they don't. The Premium Earbud is a different model with 3 silicone tip sizes. The Concerts z14 provide a better sound as it also includes the Comply foam tips. Send us an email and will send you a 35% off coupon for the Concert Earbuds.

No no no. These are not the same by any stretch of imagnation. I wanted a second pair for a spare and these do not come close to the original Samsung product. I have a few other earbuds, koss, skull candy, iphone apple. These are horrible sounding that are worse than the free ones you get on airplanes. Dont waste your money.

In my opinion they are identical in terms of sound. The flat cords seem less fragile and tangle less. In my mind that is an improvement in terms of usability. I bought them to use with my phone. I still use the S4's with my mp3 player. If S4's are still working and you do not need the phone function there is no reason to upgrade other than the cords but that I do not think that is worth it. Best if luck.

I use android (htc one) and the the functions are limited to where the volume doesn't change when the earbuds are used. Click for pause/play, answering/ending phonecalls as well as the mic works perfectly fine. I'm not missing the volume function too much so I'm happy with them, and I bought them in January. Hope this helps

I cannot tell you the difference between the various models, but I will tell you my s3's are very comfortable, noise blocking, but not to the point that someone cannot get your attention (ie stewardesses, etc.) and the sound quality is very good to excellent. I only use them for books, so I am not sure about music. But I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I cannot answer this specific question but will tell my opinion. Z2 has very good sound quality that can be achieved with really advanced headsets what is typically available from the professional line. In particular I tried Z2 with few noise cancelling headsets in wire mode and noticed noticeable quality degradation. So, I rejected all all Bose (except reasonable quality of professional model), the same with Dr Dre' Beats line

I have only had experience using these earbuds with my I-Phone and can report that I am very pleased with them.

They are not noise canceling, but the isolation is fantastic. I have not had any problems with external noise while wearing these. The only disadvantage is they are a little large for carrying around.

they work like any ear bud set.i use mine to listen to i-pod music.they do have a nice sound to them.

yes, they do. I have good quality earbuds and am happy with the music quality. Of course, wind noise does effect the quality of the music. Helmet, windscreen... all can reduce the quality of the music. You won't get concert hall quality, but I'm very satisfied.

Hi Joe,In terms of sound quality there are pretty much the same. If you using the Etymotic in plane/train or outdoors then the quality suffers alittle. These are not noise canceling or noise softening. But as far as comfort. I prefer the Etymotic.

I've not had any problems with these but there are another pair from JLABs that I have that are BETTERJLab JBuds J4 Heavy Bass Metal In-Ear Earbuds Style Headphones Just a richer sound and I use these a lot, have had for a year. Highly recommend

I did not have Bose ear buds before, so don't really know. Comfort and sound quality is great - but I primarily use for phone calls (a lot). Would buy again.

Yes - the points made by others about having the earbuds inserted all the way into your ear canal are correct. The result is awesome sound. If you just let them 'rest' in your ear- you will never achieve the hi-fidelity described on this review post. I've had many Klipsch earbuds and would buy them for all uses.

No, These are noise isolating earbuds, not canceling ones; However, if you have any amount of sound playing into them you will have a very hard time hearing around you. With these at a moderate volume I have stood right next to a lawn mower and only managed to hear it quietly under the music I was listening to.

hi Jerad, I am not a old customer of this product, so give me a few more months to test the Skullcandy earbuds for an honest answer to your concerns of long lasting quality.Larry

I think they're pretty good at noise isolation. If I'm playing music at normal volume through my phone speaker and put the headphones on without plugging them in, I can't really hear the music at all. I do this every morning when I'm leaving for work, and I'm always surprised that it works so well.
