Pros:

Comfortable, even for users new to in-ear earbuds. Tight bass and clear sound overall.
The Yamaha EPH-30 Inner Ear Headphones offer surprisingly good sound quality for the money. They're comfortable and provide some passive noise isolation. Plus, they're very energy efficient.

Cons:

No extras, like cases or cord wraps, included. Lacks the fine detail that audio purists spend top dollar to experience.
The Yamaha EPH-30 headphones seem pretty fragile; there's no carrying pouch; and the white version gets dirty fast.
