The only problem with these Ink'd Earbuds is that they damage easily. I think they are poorly produced but you get what you pay for. But even then, the sound is superb. So you need to treat these Ink'd Earbuds with some loving tendercare.
The pair I have does not have any "L"eft or "R"ight designation on the earbuds so it's tricky to see which bud is for which ear (Hint: Take a look at the cord splitter). Some people don't really care if the left and right channels are in the wrong orientation. For me, it's very important as that is how the music producer wants the music to be heard.
While the Ink'd Earbuds fit snuggly in your ears, you would think that this would block out background noises. To a certain extent it does, but they do not block out all background sounds so you may need to crank up the volume to compensate for the background noise. Cranking the volume too high on the Ink'd Earbuds will destroy the earbuds but most importantly it will also cause ear damage. So try to keep the volume low.
The Ink'd Earbuds are not recommended if you are doing strenuous workouts such as running as the noise of the jiggling cord will be transferred to the earbuds when you are moving about (Hint: Tuck the cord inside your shirt to minimize the sound transfer). All earbuds will transmit some sound if the cord is jostled around, but it seems to be greater for the Ink'd Earbuds.
Also some people may not like sticking things directly into their ears as in the case with the Ink'd Earbuds. It needs some getting use to.
The Ink'd Earbuds are flimsy and break easily so grab yourself a few as they are relatively cheap.
