Decent enough headphones, while they lasted. It took the better part of 6 months, but there is now no sound in the left channel, thanks to a problem where the wire meets the base of the jack. It is very frustrating to have to replace them already. They didn't stay in my ear all that well, either.

I purchased these and a pair that cost less than $5, both from Amazon. I can't really tell the difference, which makes these a massive rip-off. Both work as headsets with microphones for Blackberry Bold and iPod Touch. Go with the bargain version.

I'm outing myself: I'm a headphone abuser. The original Apple lasted a couple months until they fell apart, and the Skullcandy replacements broke after a week. But these - I've had them for a year and every day, I've been tossing them into my gym bag (with the shoes and all), and stuffing them into my trousers. Last week - which is why I felt compelled to post a review - I accidentally WASHED them on cold cycle and they still work!
These are isolating headphones. Once you get used to the "stethoscope" feeling of hearing your own breathing more, these headphones are great to listen to music at lower sound levels in noisy environments such as going to work on the subway. I also find them great for the office to tune out those coworkers who never learned to close their mouths while eating. Sound- wise, I find them fine after setting the iPhone EQ to "Bass Reducer".
This set is actually not the greatest to use for hands- free calling. For starters, the microphone seems to be a tad worse than the original Apple's, plus the isolation effect makes it a bit uncomfortable to talk - now I know how it must be to be hearing impaired, when you speak but can't hear your own voice. Still, it's nice to have a microphone to quickly take that call as well as for voice control with the new 3gs.

I made my purchase based on user reviews, so I was hopeful.
However, the first drawback was that even with the smallest ear sleeve, these did not fit into my ear canal. Consequently, they never delivered the kind of sound quality promised and fell out of my ear with regularity. And I lost one of the ear sleeves the first day and had to purchase replacements (that were not the same as the original equipment) from Radio Shack. I thought, okay, I'll deal with the not really fitting in my ear dilemma.
While I like the way that the cord wraps behind the head, it really needs a clip because like others, I was constantly catching the cord on something. I finally used a small binder clip (or paperclip) to attach to my bra strap which helped. Still, this is a design flaw that could be easily remedied.
But I haven't even owned them for a month and the right speaker is out. So they are trash as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to try and get a partial refund or something, but assume this is just money down the drain.
If you have small ear canals (and I don't think mine are abnormal or anything), these are not a good choice. And, based on my experience, the production quality seems to be inconsistent as some users have no trouble and I'm one of the ones who did.

I had these for a little over 3 months before I can no longer get reliable sound from the left earbud. The bud itself is fine, the problem is the plug. Other headphones and buds in the same device work fine. It's very frustrating to know that the buds are perfectly intact, yet I cannot use these because a $1 plug doesn't make good contact. For this reason, I simply can't recommend them.
The pros are that they had pretty good sound quality, they did not sound tinny or screechy in my ear. Decent bass. The buds cut out sound very well, great for airplanes, cars or anywhere with a lot of ambient noise. The mic and button also worked pretty well - more reliably than the stock apple earbuds which seem to always require a spin or two in the jack before they work. Mic quality was at least as good as the stock apple earbuds, but I didn't buy them to talk.
The primary con is that they are built cheaply and did not last long. For starters, there is no strain relief where the cord meets the plug, so it's extremely easy to kink the cord. The wires leading to the buds themselves are also very thin, making them more prone to knots and tangles.
Other things that people may find annoying are that the mic and pushbutton are on the left side, opposite of the stock apple earbuds. Also, any rubbing or bumping of the cord transfers to your ear with loud booming noises - you aren't going to want to do anything vigorous while wearing these. Forget jogging. The cord to the left earbud is much shorter than the right, so any tension on the cord is only felt in one ear. Sennheiser tried making the mic and pushbutton more bullet shaped, but it still constantly catches on shirt collars, pockets, seatbelts, lanyards, etc. and creates loud noise in your left ear, pulls your earbud loose, or both. The pushbutton is the only useful component, the mic will probably not matter since most folks will not want to talk with these in (extreme vibrational feedback).
My suggestion is to get a cheaper pair of earbuds, particularly if you don't need the pushbutton on the cord.
