I've found that just during the course of a normal bus ride I'll have to adjust the headphones in my ears at least once or twice, because the natural tension of the ear canal pushes the tapered body of the earplug "sleeves" out. I've tried the smaller size, but as could be expected they just fall out of their own accord; a lack of tension in this case. The orange earplug-foam ones you used for the demo are really the best earbud sleeves for the job, but they can get rather uncomfortable in the long run. In short, the headphones are fantastic for crystal-clear audio work in a comfortable environment not necessitating very much movement or traffic (where I've experienced them best), but not so much as everyday on-the-go headphones; you're better off with something that'll sit inside the natural cup of your earlobe, at least.

The sound is great, and you can easily hear at low volume! Not to mention that they block out any outside sound. I used them while listening to my cousin's friend's iPod, and plan to get some soon!

At least one could be eliminated to simplify adjustments.  The manual does not explain many of the features and only has 20 pages in each language and left me wanting for more.  There is a learning curve to navigating around comfortably using the two toggle switches, but I was comfortable after about 2 days.  The buttons are on the smaller side, and users with larger fingers may have some difficulty.  Speaking of smaller, the info on the display is very small as well.  I was frustrated that I could not build playlists from the device.  Also, there is no removable storage slot to expand the memory so I recommend you buy the larger 512 MB or 1 GB model.  The player takes several seconds to start up, or shut down, which delays the start of the music.  Audiophiles (as with just about all players they buy) will want to upgrade the headphones to a better model. Conclusion  The iAudio 5 is a very stylish music player, with enough features to keep even advanced users satisfied for some time.  The colorful display is clearly the standout feature.  The use of a common AAA battery for power minimizes down time.  The FM tuner means you never run out of new music during long layovers at the airport.  The variety of recording modes and options extends the possibilities and usefulness of the device to a variety of applications.  The number of supported file formats for playback complements these options.  I envision this device for the young executive who likes to exercise with music, and travel without being weighed down with a heavier device.  With all these possibilities, I’m sure they’ll find something worth listening to.  For the extra dough, you can have something that is far more exclusive and feature rich than just another iPod Shuffle.  When your friends see the multiple color display they’ll know why you chose the iAudio 5 and will be envious.
