I am a Consumer Reports subscriber and find their reports have good information and guidance, but sometimes they totally miss the boat. This is one of those times. Ease of use, moving from device to device, size, range, and more make these an amazing bit of techno magic. I didn't buy these for their sound quality. The transparency of external sounds make these much safer for outdoors or in situations where you want to have awareness of what's going on around you. For what these were designed for they are among the best if not the best. If you are looking for quality audio there are much better choices than either of these. You really cannot compare isolating and non-isolating earphones. If you don't like the the sound quality, fine. But to not recommend. Not a fair evaluation.
