Introduction
There are so many headphones to choose from when it comes to listening to music on your iPod. There are questions you need to ask yourself before you drop your money on any pair. Do you like bass more or treble? Do you want in ear phones or over the ear cans? How much are you willing to spend? What kind of music will you be listening to the most? All of these are critical to making the right choice when it comes to what you put in/on your ears.
Features/Design
The FS1, FS stands for Future Sonics, are a wonderful set of in ear phones. When you first open the package you are hit with the design. It may seem just a little odd at first but once you slide them into your ears you will understand that the look works into the feel. The sleek design helps the FS1’s slide right into the ear and rest comfortably in your ear. You have two choices for how they fit into the ear canal. There is a three tier silicone tip that comes in three sizes, small, medium, and large, and there is a moldable foam option that you can compress and then slide into your ear and it expands to fit your ear canal perfectly. Both do a great job at blocking out noise and allowing you total immersive ability to enjoy your music.
The drivers in the FS1’s are amazing. Their ability to represent all aspects of the music blew me away the first time I plugged them in. I could not find a style of music that did not sound great in these phones. The highs are loud enough to hear but not so overpowering as to give you a headache. The mids are clear and clean and the bass is strong but not overpowering. The bass resonates in your head and is very comfortable for listing to anything form Hip-Hop to Classical to Jazz. The phones them self sit so well in the ear that you can wear them for hours with no problems.

Final Thoughts
I am blown away by the over all sound of the FS1’s. These are the best I have listened to so far and I love listening to them on a regular basis. If you are looking for a good pair of phones and are willing to pay for them then the FS1’s might just be for you.
