What customers say about "Size & Weight"
NuForce Primo8 Quad-Driver Earphones with World's First Phase-Coherent Crossover Design
  • The wires are are just the right size.
  • After using them for a few days these are comparable to the Shure SE series in comfort.
  • They are also very comfortable to wear.
  • Extended wear feels natural and comfortable, both in sound and fit.
  • No fuss no muss, user friendly and comfortable.
Shure SE846 Sound Isolating Earphones
  • Better than any of the apple earbuds or random-brand cheap earbuds I've owned. They're super comfortable so I can easily sleep with them on.
  • This bundle let me get the color I wanted (clear) without spending more $$ on a separate cable. Overall, a no-brainer.

What customers say about "Features"
NuForce Primo8 Quad-Driver Earphones with World's First Phase-Coherent Crossover Design
  • Bass that is deep and controlled, not deep and flabby like others I have tried.
  • The sound on these is very good, the soundstage is decent, and seems a little too centered.
  • Isolation was very good.
  • Excellent sounding earphone with very good and natural bass reproduction, 3D imaging can sub-press a lot of mid-price full size head phone.
  • One ear is much quieter than the other, however the sound quality is extremely clear. It is crystal clear.it is extremely analytical yet musical.
Shure SE846 Sound Isolating Earphones
  • These are just great. Great quality. I am a drummer and play live shows alot.
  • Sound quality is pretty good. Also nice to use while running as they stay in ear quite well.
  • Unbelievable sound, very balanced, if you want more bass or treble sounds you have to equalize in the device
  • The headphones DO NOT have the built in mic and volume control (at least the package I got).
  • I love the headphones, but the mic/remote kit is completely useless. The volume buttons do not control the volume on my phone.
  • I'm enjoying the headphones but they don't isolate quite as much noise as I was hoping they would
