Query: not as good as my sony earbuds and twice the price

I am somewhat disappointed. The base response is less than I had hoped for, and these earbuds don't go very loud. Perhaps I should have bought the er-6i. I run long distance and I listen to rock like Led Zepplin, and I had thought these would be better than the Sony's I have - wrong. I did note that the high end is very precise. I suppose if you are into classical these these buds are for you.
