The Test
When I ripped open the packaging and got them out and ready to rock, I had my Dell Axim x51v ready to go. I loaded up an intersting sound with a little it of everything as far as sounds, Going Back to Cali by Sevendust. No, this isn’t the original done by LL Cool J, this is a hard rocking remake by Sevendust with roaring guitar and plenty of bass. After 30 seconds, I was dissapointed. The bass response was terrible and the sound was hollow. Knowing that I had to have something wrong, I backed up and did something most of us don’t do, I read the instructions. Without getting technical, I will just say that the default tips that were installed did not provide a good seal in my ear canal. I tried the flange tips and they felt great, but not much better. Next I tried the larger foam inserts (comes in two sizes) and WOW, that did the trick. The sound difference was night and day. With both left and right ears plugged up, I could not even here my wife call me from 10 feet away either.

In the following days, I tried these earphones with the iPod and the Dell DJ and using the larger foam tips the rocking sounds continued. The FS1 earphones look very stylish as well as long as they are in your ears and not on top of your player. The foam inserts make the earphones like mighty goofy, but if these tips make the best seal for you as well, who cares! Check out the photo above right and you will see the tip removed and what they look like naked. The sound travels through the tip right to you ears while the tip provides a good seal from sound escaping and outside sounds from getting in there to ruin your jammin.

As I mentioned, the foam tips gave me the best sound. Other that I let try these out in the past couple weeks had the same results. With this, I did some digging online and most comments online are saying the same, great sound but the other tips are not needed.

Hear what you’ve been missing!
The tagline given by Xtrememac is accurate. As a test, take your standard earbuds and cue up Evanescence’s Bring me to Life and listen to the intro. Then start the song over and use these. There is something you are definitely missing with the earbuds. If you are not familiar with this song, there is some rumbling bass in the intro that you do not get with poor bass response. Listening to several types of music, there was many little background effects in songs that I just never noticed before.
