Getting used to my new phone. I say SE-UIQ3 beats the hell out of Nokia's Symbian Series * , sorry Msameer.
The earphones have little rubber buds that wedge into your outer ear canal and block any noise from the outside. It really is amazing, over an hour in transportation without hearing any noise ! Peace and serenity, reaching home calm and not drained !
The earphones are clear and loud , without being too loud to cause ear damage.
