Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the superb sound quality, deep bass, and comfortable fit of these earbud headphones. Many appreciate their lightweight design and reasonable price. A common suggestion is the addition of volume control on the cord. The tangle-free cord is also a frequently praised feature.

    These have a great full sound with surprising base. But I only got to use them twice. The wire at the plug end snapped and broke. If you’re going to sit and listen to them and not move then they’d be ok. If you’re going to do any activity with them then I would definitely stay away.

    I purchased one for me and one for my daughter. She loves hers. I think they are good for music playback but not for conversations.

    Very late review, but good earbuds

    Sounded great. They lasted me a solid 3 years, but are now cutting out when the cord is bent a certain way. More my fault than anything. Pretty durable considering how long I had them. Good range of sound. Heavy on bass. Could barely hear anything else when they were in my ears.

    I do not recommend this product since the ear buds keep falling out of my ears. They are uncomfortable plus they will not stay in my ear. The sound is great if you can tolerate the discomfort plus the constant loss of sound from the buds not staying in your ears!

    I bought these based on the frequency range. They aren’t are crisp and clear as I was hoping. Don’t get me wrong, they sound okay, just not great.

    Basically you get for what you paid for. It's not a Bose, but at the same time they're not some cheap knockoff headphones either.

    Amazing headphones

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

    I have owned these headphones for around 3 1/2 years. I paid $50 at the time I bought mine, but well worth it. I use them everyday and play them wide open on my galaxy s5. When I put them away I usually just wad them up and throw them in my pocket. I know I should be taking better care of them, but it just amazes me that all that I have put them through and they still look and sound like new. My brother buys a different set every month just trying to find some that will out do my Sony because I brag on them so much. He still has not found any. Final word simply amazing.

    A little bulky for in-ear use especially if you use them while sleeping. Sound is good but you definitely need to "stuff" into ears for full bass sound.

    I bought this for my son who is in high school. He goes through a lot of earbuds. He said that the quality is okay. Would not spend more than $30 for it.

    The only issue I have is that the design is a little weird and you can't put the left earbud in your right ear or vice versa without it feeling uncomfortable.

    It's a decent headphone set but it does wear and tear at the port and earbuds' split pretty quickly, this is the second pair I've had to purchase.

    Wrll I lave had these wired headphones about a month now and bought so could use at work since my bluetooth headphones battery won't last all day. Very disappointed with these as now one of the earbuds suddenly stopped producing sound! This happened with very minimal use and not anything close to being abused. Don't WASTE your money on these!
