I have tried those (the new ones, hoping for some improvement), and,
while they may be decent for $10 (actually more, since you have to buy
good earplugs for them to make them listenable), you can get earbuds
without "plug" isolation that sound much better for $15 or $20
(Sennheiser MX-400 and -500), and earbuds with better isolation than the
plugs and much better sound for $35 (Sony EX-70).
If you like lots of thumpy bass, and need isolation, you might be
satisfied with The Plug + better earplugs. But that's the target audience
for them. I don't mean to be too contrarian -- I just want people to
spend their money wisely ;)
