All we can say is NiiiCE! The Maximo iMetal iM590 are amongst the clearest-sounding in ear headphones we have heard priced under $50. The iMetal are truly an astonishing value given their near-reference audio performance. Expect rich, full, well-balanced bass response and cleanly extended, detailed highs with a non-fatiguing presentation that is smoothly even-toned up and down the entire musical frequency range. Fast-response 9mm neodymium drivers ensure accurate and clean high-definition of even very complex music. The iM590's strong isolation / noise-blocking ability effectively factors out environmental ambient sounds for maximum listening privacy even in the noisiest of settings. Great price for a great headphone product all in-ear listeners can definitely enjoy.
The Maximo iMetal iM590 offer an all-metal earpiece construction and modern streamlined looks along with a complete selection of variously sized eartip sleeves that assure a personalized, comfortable in-ear fit. The all-metal earpiece housing serves to eliminate vibration artifacts for absolute minimum distortion and purest sound. The cloth-braided cord resists microphonic contact resonances and extends about 4 ft in length; a useful 2ft extension 'mini' cable is provided along with a full array of plug adaptors suitable for smartphones and airline systems. The hard-sided clamshell carrying case provides secure transit for the iM590 earphones during your travels. Available in Black or Platinum White color schemes.

Recommend Product: No
Pros: comfortable fit, good sound
Cons: very fragile, tangles and kinks in wires.
After a month or so of light use the housing for one of the earphones popped apart. I repaired it with superglue. A couple months later the other one did the same thing. Why didn't they use better glue on them in the first place?
The fabric cover on the cables frayed, then started to let the wires pop through. Repaired with some black duct tape, and again superglue where wires hadn't yet popped.
Then the wires shorted out just above the microphone bead.
$50 for the headphones. $5 for the glue and tape. About a year of light duty service.
