Hey guys, I figured I'd do a review for these new earbuds I bought. In short, if you have been looking for an inexpensive way to have earphones that sound great, and have the conveniences of the iPhone, look no further.

Now, for the review...
A few things I always hated about the iPhone's buds were the fact they had a horrible build quality and would fall apart with little to no effort, would not fit my ears well and depending on the set I bought would either have one or two that didn't fit my ears and would fall out, were VERY expensive, and well, now... didn't match my Evo.
However, the iPhone's earbuds did have one thing that was going for it.. the hands free remote on the cord.
These new HTC earphones are made for the Evo, and many other Android sets, so that means, even when you're not in the music program, just like with iPhone's earbuds on the iPhone, you can start and stop music and skip ahead or back. No more annoying double or triple presses.. each of the 3 functions has it's own button. There is one downside, there is no volume control, but since I always used my phone's volume rocker, this wasn't a bad thing for me. What was important to me were the functions I had to do by normally having to turn the screen on.
But there are many earphones that have remotes, so why are these so great? First off, they're only 19.99... so Apple can shove that up their *** . These earbuds are actually a bit bigger, and ...ACTUALLY FIT MY EARS! This was the best part when I got these, and I've been in heaven since. I can move quickly, even tug hard on the cord and the earbuds will not come out, not even budge! If for some reason you have HUGE ears, it even comes with the foam pads to make it fit better. But honestly, you won't need them.
So how is the sound? Well, they beat the iPhone's hands down once again. They are loud and very clear. The base is picked up with good clarity and there is no buzzing, or awkward abnormalities. I have listened to techno, modern rock, classic rock, classical... all sounds beautiful. If you want an example, for as long as I've had Apple earbuds, when I put these in and hit play, and Aerosmith came on, it sounded so good, and the earphones were so secure in my ears (keeping the sound in) I had a huge beaming smile on my face. I was really surprised.
These earbuds actually look like they were made to match the EVO as well. They are very stylish, and the build quality is great. One thing I had a problem with with the Apple buds, is that the jack didn't fit in the EVO very well, often times wanting to come out with little effort. These fit perfectly and snuggly, and have a nice reassuring "click" when it goes in (not sound, but feel).
These are wonderful earbuds, and I was honestly very nervous when I bought them. But I'm actually throwing away my Apple earbuds tonight because these are that much better.
For anyone looking for good buds, these are top notch. If you have had troubles finding a good pair, or avoided these because you were afraid of their quality, let your worries fly away and buy these immediately. You won't be disappointed!
