    Sound works great, and it comes with YouTube premium for a couple of months. I use these on my rog ally, because any Bluetooth headphones would be lagging behind the screen which is annoying. It even comes with the extra rubber tip sizes for your unique ears.

    I've been using these headphones and have been thoroughly impressed with their performance, especially considering the price. The sound quality is fair, and they are comfortable to wear for short periods. I initially bought them as a backup pair, but I find myself reaching for them more often than I expected. Highly recommend if you're looking for a reliable and affordable option!"

    I have an iPod that's so old only wired headphones will work with it. These have a great sound and are more comfortable than the original Apple earbuds that came with the device.

    It's a little louder and more clear than most headphones of this price that I've tried, and good bass and noise cancellation (again, for price)

    Nothing to shout about. Just a basic set of phones for a portable device. Works as expected. No issues at all. If you want hi-fidelty sound then invest in something else. If you need good quality sound and a great price, here you have it.

      It's great to hear that the earbuds are serving you well, especially with their manual pause/mute mechanism. Having that feature can indeed be incredibly useful, particularly in environments with background noise. If you have any other feedback or questions about the earbuds, feel free to share.

    I’ve been using the Insignia 3.5 mm Wired Earbud Headphones for a few weeks now, and they have exceeded my expectations for the price. The sound quality is surprisingly good, with clear highs and decent bass. They are comfortable to wear for extended periods, and the earbuds fit snugly in my ears without falling out. The build quality is solid, and the cable feels durable enough to withstand daily use. These earbuds are perfect for listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls on the go. Overall, they offer excellent value for money and are a reliable choice for anyone looking for affordable wired earbuds.

    Ive bee through a lot of headphones and these are by FAR the best.Especially for the price theyre selling that at its a SNATCH.The anti tangle feature and snug fitting covers are forbme personally a perfect match. And usually when most go out in about a month? Or even less sometimes these have lasted me so long and longer already.

    Excellent sound quality for the price...

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    ...but not a whole lot more. Pros: + The default (non-EQ'd) sound signature has good balance and clarity. Bass (low frequencies) are not exaggerated too much to the point of being "muddy" or distorted. Mid frequencies are clear. Treble (high frequencies) have good detail and not exaggerated to the point of being "tinny" or "ear-piercingly sharp" either. The "soundstage" (referring to the sound being more natural versus more "in your head") is not wide at all, resulting in a more "in your head" sound. That is normal for most IEMs (In-Ear Monitors) though... especially as these earbuds are enclosed (no outer vent holes). Having no outer vent holes is also good for adding a slight bit of water/sweat resistance, as well as preventing sound leakage (meaning others are less likely to hear your music playing). Overall sound quality is above average for the price, as they sound even better than some earbuds that are 2x-3x the price. Pro Tip: For some people who prefer more bass, it's easy enough to add some using free equalizer (EQ) software, which will work on many headphones/earbuds. I personally use ViPER4Android (which requires rooted Android), and "Easy Effects"/"PulseEffects" in Linux... which are also advanced enough to have effects for widening the soundstage and adding spatial audio/surround sound. For Windows, you can use EqualizerAPO with the PeaceGUI; and HeSuVi for spatial audio/surround sound. As of writing this review, there are no EQ profiles for the Insignia 3.5 mm Wired Earbuds Model: NS-HP35MM23 on autoeq.app. + The noise isolation is average. The earbud tips are not angled, but they do include 3 sizes or rubber tips to accommodate multiple ear sizes and stay in better. + A microphone with a single button for Play/Pause Control is present. + Unlike wireless earbuds, these wired earbuds don't have a battery to charge! Of course your device will require a 3.5mm headphone jack... otherwise you'll need a compatible adapter "dongle" for your device. + Price. These are the cheapest pair of wired earbuds I have found as of writing this review on Best Buy's website. At $8, you could easily do worse by buying some generic earbuds at a dollar store... which would likely sound worse, and aren't made any better "build quality" wise. At this low of budget (<$10), you probably won't find any decent quality wireless earbuds anyway. Heck, even a typical "fast food" meal cost more than these. So I can easily recommend these for those on a budget, or for those wanting a "backup" to some more expensive earbuds... or for when the battery dies on your wireless ones while on a long trip. LOL Cons: - The build quality is not exactly stellar, but that is to be expected for the price. The cable is thin and made of soft plastic; as opposed to nicer and more flexible silicone rubber, or the more durable braided cables used in higher end earbuds. The cable is not an "anti-tangle" as it's round, not flat. The earbuds themselves are made of cheap, lightweight plastic, which does also help them stay in better... but aren't durable. With that said... if you take good care of your stuff, these should last you a decent amount of time before they break.

    Great Extra Backup Pair

    I was looking for something inexpensive for my Quest 3 headset that was also lite and comfortable. I found these and decided to give them a try. For the price, these sound really good for either music, games or movies. They are veery lite weight, but not so lite weight that they fall out of your ear. Very comfortable to wear and the ear tips block out a decent amount of noise while in use. These are great for anyone looking for an extra pair, or a set of traditional ear plugs.

      Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re glad you found a lightweight and comfortable option that works well with your Quest 3 headset. It’s great to hear that the sound quality holds up across music, games, and movies, and that the fit is secure without being too light. We’re happy the ear tips also help block out noise, making your experience even better. This sounds like a solid choice for anyone needing an extra pair or a reliable set of traditional ear plugs.
