I love them. they stay in my ears well, and sound amazing. All the features work as expected. I wish they would include an accessory clip that could take some of the weight off of the cord by attaching it to a piece of clothing (shirt)

I had the previous version of the Fix and these are slightly better AND slightly worse.

1) The audio quality is slightly better, but it is likely due to the different in-ear design (with the plug type buds):

"Silicone gel buds in two sized give you a perfect fit to seal out sound"
"Rear acoustic ports dump deep bass into your ears"

2) The Fix part that keeps the bud in your ear is slightly worse and this is probably due to the new design. These are not as secure as the previous version.

Overall, it's a wash and I got what I paid for: ~$35

I mean, they're sick and sound great. They look fresh. But... The whole concept selling point of the fix is that they don't fall out of your ears and the mic3. 1) they still fell out of my ears while snowboarding just like any earbud and 2) the whole reason I wanted earbuds with a mic3 is so I could listen to music on my older generation iPod (so I don't have to risk breaking my iPhone 5 and drain the battery) and have the ability to easily pause it so I could talk to friends. But the mic control is not functional with older generation iPods. Also, even with my iPhone 5, I'm supposed to get track control with my mic3 and I can't figure out how, it seems no different than a mic1 to me.

I had a set of these I was toting around everywhere with me. Decided to get a 2nd set when I saw the out of date colors on sale.

Would only be more happy if the controller always worked. Seems the connection gets a little funky sometimes. I just unplug the jack and plug it back in. Usually works.

Great base, no pain, never fall out (and sometimes has trouble even being PULLED out... by force :)

I've worn these all day while working on the computer at home and forget they're even in due to the comfort. Great job SkullCandy.

These headphones aren't noise blocking, but they might as well be. The specially turned ear buds fit straight into your ear, resulting in great quality of sound and pretty much blocking out unwanted ambient noise. They also have great colors and come in a cool case that is easy to use and great for transporting and not losing the headphones.

The one problem is that each earbud has to go into one ear, and there isn't any noticeable writing on it that I've been able to find. But it only takes a second or two to remember which one goes where.

I have tried several different brands and these are my favorite buds. Great sound, they fit in your ear well and the case they come with are nice. They stay in really well and are great for running, snowboarding or freestyle banjoing.
