The only earbuds in this roundup, these have all the right buzzwords, plus a few new ones: titanium, neodymium, functional swing housing, and high-performance elastomer. Apart from a little weakness in the bass, they sound fine—if you keep them pressed into your ears with your fingers. But they lose too much when they're just resting in your ears, pulled out by the weight of the titanium bodies. We had better luck wearing them upside down, with the wires over the tops of our ears. The diaphragm assembly swivels eccentrically, ostensibly to improve the fit in your ear, but we didn't find any actual benefit. A strong peak at 1.25 to 2 kHz makes vocals very intelligible, but we'd like these phones more if they fit better.
