The Ribbons produce solid bass, balanced by sweet middle and high notes. They feature noise isolation technology which blocks out annoying background sounds and deliver high definition and rich, articulate sound. They have a high-quality metal finish, a flat cable to keep them tangle free so you can use whenever you want, and they come with small, medium and large silicone tips to give you the most comfortable fit.The Ribbons allow you to make or take calls using the in-line microphone, with your music automatically fading out when you press the multi-function button to receive a call. The music fades back in when you press again to end your conversation.
