FreeStyle Earbudsby Bose
PROS
- FreeStyle Earbuds deliver crisp and well-balanced sound with plenty of bass.
- If you don't care for buds that you wedge inside your ear canal, you'll like how the FreeStyle buds stay loosely--but securely--in your ears.
- The bundle includes three sizes of ear tips to help you arrive at a comfy fit. Plus, the tips are sweat-resistant.
CONS
- The color combinations are not subtle. The splashy colors might be too jarring or a total turnoff, depending on your personal taste..
- The buds are not noise canceling, so external sound seeps in.
- Aside from the carry case, extra tip covers, and inline control, this unit is rather bare-boned for the price.

The FreeStyle are not either noise canceling or noise isolating. While cranking the volume will drown out outside noise, just popping these in your ears will do almost nothing.
I really like the fit -- the medium-size Stay-Hear tips worked well with my ears and kept the buds locked in.

You can start at Jack Johnson (acoustic and vocals), then switch to Chrome Sparks or R3hab (electronica with a twist), and finish with Volumes (metal) without being deprived of a well-rounded, high quality experience.
The FreeStyle feels like a fashion accessory first and an earphone pair second. As an accessory, it's your call whether you like the look.

To say that I did not enjoy using the FreeStyle would be untrue. But I was disappointed to find the bass struggling in the distance, just waiting for a break to shine through – only to never truly thump.

You might find the brassy top end a little fatiguing at max power after a while, but these headphones are perfectly capable at moderate to high volume levels without missing a beat (literally).
