Query: These are NOT replacement earphones!

I purchased a set of these In-Ear headphones to replace a lost orignial ipod earphone set. They do not perform audibly at the same level as the originals. Although the form factor is more appealing, the audio quality is no where near as good as the originals. The first hint is the pysical size of the driver. The driver is only 9mm so it can't possibly sound as good as a larger speaker. If your expectation is to replace the originals... look for the ipod earphones with the remote (part # M9128G/A). It also sells for around $39. However, for the real audiophile...consider a pair of over-ear headphones. You will get full bass response and no ear pain due to outer ear irritation from the in ear variety! If you insist on in ear then try the SONY MDR-EX71SL/W Fontopia(R) Bud Style Headphones for iPod. I ordered these too (don't ask why) and they offer much better audio response than the ipod brand.... but still worthless in my book!
