These are identical to the HF3, except they are designed to interface with Apple devices; these with Blackberry, Android etc. The phones themselves are absolutely the same design so how come these are only 4 stars, when the HF3 are 5??
Makes no sense.
We've just been comparing two versions of Apple's new in-ears, one with in-line mic and one without. The only physical difference as far as I can tell is the inclusion of the mic, and yet the two sound clearly different. Sometimes the smallest changes affect outright performance notably.
Did you come across any build issues when reviewing these?
I may be interested in getting a set as I love the idea of custom fit but have read a number of reviews from people saying the build quality was terrible and the headphones failed within a short period of time.
