Pros:

Deep potent bass, Frequencies play well together, Stylish, Good selection of tips, Protective case
Great unboxing experience, Comfortable, Look terrific, InLine microphone and remote doesn't stand out but works well, Tangle free cord, Sound great
Accurate audio performance. No distortion on deep bass tracks, even at top volumes. Alluring design. Built-in microphone and controls for iOS and Android devices. Comes with a snazzy carrying case. Includes plenty of ear tip pairs.

Cons:

Doesn't play well will certain genres of music, Style may be too much for some, Only Comply tips fit well (for me), Exercise tips offer no bass at all
Nothing but at a price of $150 you had better LOVE the red color and unusual earbud design

Fit can be uncomfortable over time. Ear tips don't always create tight seal

The audio signature of the MS 200s is a little bass-heavy for my personal taste but probably not nearly enough for fans of the Beats by Dre sound. That said, it is a nice fat bass sound with plenty of presence. I engaged in some low end frolics with...

The Moderna MS 200 is a cool-looking (if you care about that) and great-sounding (and you'd better care about that) in-ear headphone. At $149 list price, it's not cheap, but the snazzy design and excellent performance make it a solid contender in its...
