Overview Details Customer Reviews Category Info Accessories Our take on the Kicker EB101 by Kristen Schaub Kicker's EB101 earbud headphones make a great addition to any portable audio player. These ultra-light earbuds deliver crisp, full sound, and sit just inside your ear canal to naturally block outside noise, so you can focus on your music. The rubber earbud sleeves come in three different sizes to give you a comfortable fit. You also get Kicker's Comply™ foam earbud sleeves — breathable foam that conforms to the shape of your ear canal — for reduced irritation and fatigue over long listening sessions. The straight Y-cord features a black woven cloth covering to reduce tangles, and terminates in a stereo mini plug.

I never figured that you could justify $40 for a set of earbuds, I was pleasantly proven wrong(although i got them free with my order). These things sound great and the bass response is unreal i've never heard any like them. The memory foam earpieces are comfortable as well and hold them in your ear great. They also just feel like they are made with a higher standard, with the woven fabric to keep the wire from twisting, and the kicker logo'd carying bag for them are just icing on the cake.
