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.

    Better than Skullcandy

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

    I was torn between these and the Skullcandy for the same price. I've been a fan of my titan Skullcandy but was in need for new earbuds. To be honest I only chose these because they were on sale for $30 off regular $50 price. Glad I gave it a shot, hits harder than my old Skullcandy earbuds. The angled earbuds does take some time to get used to but hits hard and was worth it. This coming from a Skullcandy fan boy.

    I am very picky about my music and it's quality and have experimented with many pairs of headphones. In my opinion, these are the best headphones around. I love the highs and lows, and have great bass.

    Excellent Earbuds

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

    After days of researching for the best earbuds I landed on these and have absolutely no regrets. I wanted something that would isolates outside noise (mostly for long flights), would be comfortable, and would have great sound (including bass). I was prepared to purchase something ten times the price of these Sony's. After using these for a while now, I love them and have recommended them to everyone I know. My wife enjoyed them so much she had to immediate go purchase a pair for herself. The noise isolation is great from the silicon earbuds (three sizes are provided). I'm not sure what the dB reduction is rated at, however, I personally think it's much better than any noise cancellation earbud which only cancels out certain frequencies. One reason I wanted these was for long flights to block out the loud engine noise, while still being able to listen to music and movies without turning up the volume too high. As marketed, these buds also have amazing bass. I didn't know know it was possible to get that out of something so small. Treble and clarity is great also.

    We each bought a pair for our upcoming trip and love them. Great sounds and lightweight. The carry case is nice too. They're pretty comfy, although after a while my ears need a break, but they're comfy for a long time and they seem to have noise canceling in them to somde degree, they block out much of what's around you. I felt like I was in a movie theater listening to the bass on them. Very happy, and would buy again and recommend them.

    Good earbuds

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

    Decided to purchase a pair of earbuds for the gym and running. These are a good set. The sound is great and the bass is deep. The only downside is the in line remote. It only fast forwards and pauses music. No volume control. A bit of a drag as ive had a cheaper set of sony's that had the volume control. Minus the volume control I highyly recommend these headphones. For 50 buck its a steal.

    I got these headphones expecting some moments of powerful base in my songs and I wasn't disappointed. Music and videos are usually clear but in some uncommon moments I hear just a little bit of distortion.

    Excellent sound quality but way too loud

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

    These headphones do sound fantastic and the bass is excellent. The mic seems to work pretty well, and the earbuds provide fairly good sound isolation (as well as a white noise hiss that is always present). However, given that these headphones have a mic, you'd think they were made with talking on phone calls in mind, wouldn't you? These headphones do work for calls, but you'll probably have to ask the person on the other end to hold their phone roughly a foot away from their face so that your eardrums aren't blown out. Even at the lowest volume that my phone will allow, phone conversations are unpleasantly loud (unless I'm in a particularly noisy place). Maybe it's just my phone (Moto G5S Plus with Android 8.1.0) or something, but I don't know. Likewise, music on my phone is louder than I'd prefer, even at the minimum volume level. If you have any plans to ever use headphones on phone calls, I can't honestly recommend these headphones. If you're just trying to listen to music (especially music that's not on your phone), then go ahead and get these, they're great for that.
