Maximo iMetal iM-490S Stereo Earphone - MSAN-IM49-01 - Delivers clear, powerful sound!
MAXIMO iM-490S iMetal Isolation Earphones

I purchased these earbuds 5 months ago. They are great earbuds. The sound is great and the silicone eartips feel comfortable. These earbuds stay in my ears better than some I've used. You can't beat the lifetime warranty either. I also like the fact that Buy.com stands behind what they sell to make sure your order is correct. I highly recommend these earbuds and Buy.com.

I am impressed with the sound, crisp mid and high range with a strong bass.These units stay put in the ear canal. Much better than the ear buds that come with the Sansa Clip.Thumbs up!

I bought these for the wife. I had to get her ear buds, because of the "residual" noise that her old set was emitting. These are perfect, she can listen to her music, & and I can read without getting a headache.

Of the seven or eight pairs of headphones I have, these have the best sound and are the most comfortable; they even stay in the ear very well when working out. Highly recommended.

Title says it's all. The left ear bud broke down after 2 weeks of light use (train, an hour daily). But you get what you paid for I guess.

This is a nice set of ear buds for the Sansa player. Fits the ear nicely and has some cool extras with the case. Price was great and delivered fast from Buy.Com

This is my second pair of maximo. I previously own and iM-390. They both have decent bass. Unfortunately, I lost both of them after a month of purchasing. [hope that bad luck is just for me]It is an great headphone came with there different size earbuds. It fits well when you are running[won't easily fall off]. Also, the price is great, i get each of them for the price under $20 when they are on sale.

The earbuds feel very high-quality, since they are metal. One down-side to that is that they can feel a little cold in your ears until they warm up. As reported by others, they are very powerful, with decent bass. I really like bass-heavy sound, but the clarity is poor. I'm not a big audiophile, but I did a side-by-side with my other Sony earbuds, and these were stronger (had to turn down volume of my iPod for equivalent output), but the sound was just noticably more... distorted. Still a decent set and a lot of value for the money, but with pros/cons.

I bought these earphones to improve on the basic ones that came with my iPod. They were no improvement - the sound is thinner and tinnier and there was very little bass response. The carrying case is snappy, and I may use it for the iPod earphones, but I did not find this product to be worth what I paid for it.

I don't want to say anything bad about the product, as mine hasn't arrived yet. I did however visit the manufacture website and discovered that buy.com is misreporting the MSRP. It is actually $39.99. The tremendous discount was a factor in my decision to buy this item, and I don't want anyone else to fall victim to misinformation.

It's a fine headphone.However once you wear it for quite sometime you might get some headache and tremendous amount of earwax. The headphone pairs do not provide bass as much as I expect.

These earphones work very well. The sound is great and the separation of the sound is very good.

I've used exclusively Sennheiser headphones and earbuds for quite some time now, but these beat those hands down. Very clear audio and the volume needed on these isnt nearly as high as on the Sennheiser's. I will definitely buy Maximo ear buds again.

This product has the same specs as the V Moda Vibe Duo at a considerably lower cost. Sound quality is excellent for the price-point. We'll likely purchase their upcoming combined earphones/microphone product for our iPhones when they're released (promised date is January).

I have several pairs of in-ear headsets, including Sony and Bose, and these are my favorite. They come with a nice carrying case, extension cable, airline adapter, and extra ear tips, which can be used to create the perfect fit. Although they are metal and heavier than most cheaply made plastic earphones for about the same price, they are light enough to stay put in my ears while moving around. I travel frequently with these and listening at low volume levels they drown out the jet noise and crying kids in the cabin. With some slight EQ adjustments on my Sansa e280 I was able to create the perfect blend of bass and treble, where the bass sounds huge. Although these say they are Made for Sansa, they sound great on my iPod as well. If you are looking for a better pair of earphones to replace the earbuds that come with the Sansa or iPod, I highly recommend these.

The iM-490s earphones have great sound quality and are far superior to the earbuds that came with my e280. The package includes a nice carrying case, a 2 foot extension cable, and three sets of eartips. I changed the eartips to fit my ear perfectly and the extension cable has been useful when I need extra reach, which isn't too often. They are well built and are very comfortable to wear. Although they are metal and seem like they would be heavy, but they are lightweight and stay in the ear even when moving around a lot at the gym. I have used them several times while traveling and they do a great job in blocking out the jet noise and noisy passengers (even crying babies). They have heavy bass and with the Sansa equalizer I have been able to tune them perfectly to my preferences. Overall these are a great value and I would recommend to anyone who uses their Sansa frequently. Before spending two or three times on something else, try these, you won't be disappointed.
