New Earphones!

My current earphones are one of my parting gifts when I left HP.
Typically when a colleague leaves, we would buy a gift for him/her that costs up to $50, and have a simple Zi Char at Villa Bali nearby...

For mine, I was asked what I want (since I am part of the "Gift Committee").
I jokingly requested for a screen protector, coz that was all I urgently lacked at that time. But I left it up to Cherie and Will to plan for mine.

To my surprise, I got the premium Apple Earphones! (amongst other gifts ^^)
During our lunch breaks, I had talked about wanted an earphone with noise cancellation earbuds, and they remembered!
Good stuff!
So... now my current Apple Earphones is almost dead from wear and tear.
Volume Up - mostly doesn't respond.
Volume Down - either mostly doesn't respond or Volume Up instead of Down
Pause/Stop - mostly doesn't respond

I even lost one of the earbuds (getting very loose) recently!
Now I'm wearing one side Medium and the other Small (feels loose, music is soft and ambience noise gets in to disrupt everything!)

During one of my lunch breaks, I whined about my earphones and one of my colleagues recommended this brand: a-JAYS.

So during today's lunch break, I saw it in Challenger!
I try, I like, I buy!

Then after that I searched the Internet for reviews about it (rightfully should be read reviews first before buy LOL).
Luckily for me, the reviews were good (;

Here's some pics of how it looks like


Here are the reviews I've read in case you're interested too:

My verdict?
I'll try out for a few days first :P
Also, it supposedly sounds better after you "burn in" after 10-20hours of usage.
