yeah, super comfortable too!  sooo much better than ipod buds. 

Plus I think they're lifetime warrenty so if a speaker blows send em back and they'll send you a new pair.

it's actually kinda hard to hear people since the squishy things on the ends mold into your ears and basically act like noise cancellation...but that said, get them anyway, theyre aaaaaaaaawesome for small headphones

I like mine. And with the different gel insert things they're somewhat noise cancelling too.

Full metal jacket, can't go wrong. They feel like you can't break them no matter how hard you wreck.

they are sick and comfy and have a switch to turn them down if you want to hear other people. but if they are on and playing at all you cant hear shit. but they are tight.

They suck balls they break so easy. They'll be great when they work, but wait a month or two and they will likely stop working. That lifetime warranty they claim? They never respond to your emails. It's a fucking sham.

I just sent my FMJs back because they broke.

I sleep with my headphones in and I guess I toss and turn a little and I twisted the cords and over time the cords split. This happen to anyone else or is it just me/a defect?

They're way worse than the ipod ones for that. because they go right into your ears they start pushing on your eardrums and give you the worst earache ever. On top of that they sound like shit and break after a month.

Actually the warranty against any abuse is a 50% discount from their online store. As for the helmet question. they are slightly more comfortable to me that the iPod buds, but I still suggest getting the helmet speakers.

Don't get these man. Please. Get panasonic in ears or something. They were awesome for about a month or two then one headphone stopped working. Warranty= unavailable.
