Sound isolation is very good. Earphones definitely seem based on the v-moda Vibe shell. Very attractive, and color is solid black. At the other end, the jack connector is slightly different than the Vibe's, and we'll have to see how the strain relief in the jack holds up.
Been listing to a broad variety of music for several hours (everything from soundtracks, rock, classical, blues, folk, hip-hop).
Sound quality is definitely a step up from the stock headphones! Highs are much clearer and more nuanced. I'm finding layers in the mid-and high-end that I don't usually hear. Vocals are very crisp.
At first, I was going to describe the bass levels as 'not very punchy'. But I realized that it was really just that the bass is delivered very 'clear'. Even on some hip-hop tracks, the bass is pretty clean and not muddled. I would almost describe it as a pretty tight frequency response To me, this is good, as I don't like overbearing bass. Those whose tastes are more hip-hop might prefer some more thump. I'll also need to see how these headphones sound with movies.
Haven't testing the mic quality to asses the value of the integrated windscreen. The hidden button on the mic is ever so slightly less responsive than the stock phone, but I got used to it very quickly.
So overal, my first impression is very favorable. For the recommended price, they seem like a they will be a great value. I'll keep putting them through the paces and update with more info soon.

My set came with 3, the ones that came on it are the med. size and seem to fit the best out of all though.
