"despite the fact that the headphones just don’t fit my ears mpow are sending me another set free of charge with a different fitting to see if that fixes the problem i can tell you that there are much bigger companies with more expensive headphones who wouldn’t bother to go to these lengths to ensure customer satisfaction so it’s a real credit to mpow that they are willing to do this for me"

"this allows the headphone to sink in deeper into your ear and provide the deeper bass and noise isolation"

"after 2hrs of use the skip button on the device stopped working"

"the only negative for me is that despite the ear loops once wet through sweat rain they don't feel secure in my ears and i need to resort to wearing a headband to keep them secure"

"my only problem is the design of the headphones"

"got these earphones as a replace for my bose over ear headphones which were £160"

"design and packaging good just a shame they’ve sound no good"

"i bought these as a replacement for a pair i lost"

"with these there’s little chance of losing them"

"after a while it gets extremely irritating and i'm forever pulling the cable lose"

"things went from bad to worse when i realised the sound had far too much low frequency bass and was both distracting and annoying"

"they will fall off again as the glue gun cannot re attach them fully and it was a big hassle"

"it's amazing the difference i personally found between the default large silicon buds sounded horribly tinny and the smallest too much bass and the medium buds ah perfect!"

"however in exchange for extremely loud bass comes the downside"

"have concerns over quality control and whilst cheap no good if only last a few months or try to burn your house down"

"typically i hate earbuds as i have awkward sized ears but the memory foam tips and wings are a game changer!"

"save your money truly awfully designed product"

"this seriously annoyed me whilst running so on that basis i can’t really recommend them"

"it is very bulky for my face ears and the over ear piece does not sit properly and a bit uncomfortable"

"one downside to these is the noice cancellation isn’t the best but it’s nowhere near the worst"

"i use my earpods the wired ones daily and they've been going for just over 2 years now with no signs of impending death"

"also it's noticeable that in the product handbook they don't mention noise cancellation at all as there's no control to enable disable it maybe because it doesn't exist at all"

"these earphones sound terrible"

"it's a crap product wrapped in nice packaging"

"if you want a cheap basic headphone buy this and you not will be disapointed if you fussy buy similar for hundreds euros not sure you will get more out"

"these are completely useless they are bulky and cumbersome and didn’t stay in my ears when i was sitting still much less running which is what i wanted them for"

"they do have a very frustrating flaw"

"the earphones don’t sit on my ears well making them fairly uncomfortable"

"start with the price so cheap"

"the gold on the side of the ear buds looks very cheap too"

"i have the most awkward ears in the world and up to now have spent a lot of money over the years on earbuds that claim to ‘fit any ear’ with the result being that they always fall out within 10 seconds of me wobbling my head!"

"i wasn’t overly optimistic as the ear hooks aren’t adjustable so i thought i’d yet again wasted my money"

"however they gave a low power warning and powered down within 30 minutes"

"sound and outside noise exclusion seems no different to the other more expensive ones i tried"

"a bonus is that i don’t annoy other people as they appear to not have noise leakage"

"after a while it gets extremely irritating and i'm forever pulling the cable lose"

"i understand they're fairly cheap and i guess you get what you pay for but the sound is very muffled unclear and shallow"

"in fact pants are useful they were rubbish"

"used for running and did not fall out once"

"the sound sometimes seems a bit bass heavy lacking vocal and treble range however i can't be sure if this is the watch or not and the lack of equaliser within spotify"

"it takes a little bit to finagle if you aren't super tech savvy i realize that sounds ridiculous because it's just headphones but i struggled a little"

"dislikes: complete failure after 10 months stopped during a workout and now can't get them to switch on even after a day of attempted charging no light "

"shame as there is nothing wrong with them really sound isnt great but when your hitting a max heart rate and on the limits of your strength you dont really care about sound quality"

"for the price and if you need a decent pair you don't mind throwing away these will do just fine"

"after so many exchanges and delay tactics"

"i haven't encountered any issues cutting out and they connect really fast so i really don't have much to complain about"

"they were very stiff and didn't stay in my ears so i was reluctant to buy but i am glad i did"

"not a single issue"

"i have another pair of bluetooth earbuds that have an inline control battery makes them useless when doing physical activities as the momentum weight pulls them out of my ears"

"on off button sticky and temperamental"

"on the other hand in my case the sound stutters sometimes even with my phone that's connected within 1 feet of my face"

"they’re highly uncomfortable though"

"would be better if battery low warning was an hour before it died"

"this whole thing takes a while before you figure out that it isn't user error or the fault of the other device you're trying to connect to"

"unfortunately the connecting earpiece cable sticks to a sweaty neck so then if you turn your head the earpiece to the other side gets pulled due to the cable not moving but being stuck"

"if it is bluetooth that's causing the problem then wired earphones are far better for a full range of sound"

"the cable wire is quite stiff so it won't flop about and get in the way"

"let me clarify that last statement it isn't clear when thes earbuds need to be recharged because the battery management system is massively inaccurate"

"all in all pretty poor"

"usually these difficulties arise because the instructions are not clear"

"my only gripe is the wire connecting them it’s awkward & not too long that you can hide it but not too short that it’s wrapped around your neck"

"don't bother wasting silly money on branded rubbish these will not disappoint!"

"this style of product is not suited to me as it keeps falling out my ears all permutation of sizes tested "

"i bought these as i listen to my own tunes in the gym and my old headsets always fell out or they were to bulky and got tangled up with the weight bars"

"if you don't have petite ears and don't mind having limited buttons that takes just a little bit longer to figure out then these are for you they are slick and do the job"

"and as a bonus if fitted well these cancel the majority of background noise able to take phone calls connects to pc cons: i’ve got really tiny ears so i look ridiculous wearing these!"

"unfortunately though this is as good as it gets for these headphones the sound quality gets distorted when turned up the battery life is poor"

"however if you plan to use them outdoors do not waste your time the wind noise is so severe very poorly designed in this regard"

"the two faulty sets have issues with volume control now working on the headphones and the bluetooth connectivity dropping so anything being streamed is interrupted"

"despite it's in the description of the product here and in the back of the box of the product misspelled as "advanced noisy cancellation" btw they do not have noise cancellation at all"

"great headphones"

"the headphones ability to produce bass is not what i'd call adequate for modern music but barring that the quality is passable for a pair of £20 sports headphones but i won't be replacing my daily non sports headphones anytime soon"

"i have purchased loads of different earphones over the last couple of years trying to find ones that fit my awkward shaped ears & that don’t fall out so that i’m not constantly trying to put them back in as i’m walking along"

"my only main gripe with them is you need to male sure you turn them off when finished because they don't automatically turn off after a certain amount of time"

"the standard earbuds are ok but not that comfy so wanted to use foam ones that are added turns out they are absolutely massive and won't fit in my ear!"

"i seem to have no luck with earphones and always have to replace them"

"would not go to the gym without them!"

"everything was great until the on off button managed to get damaged whilst in gym bag"

"however mine died while charging overnight and refused to turn on"

"they simply died anyway"

"because of this i wasn't interested in spending too much money and the mpow earphones fit the bill perfectly"

"there is one big drawback i have found with it and it's that when the battery reaches 30% theres a warning verbal continuously which really interrupts what you are doing"

"this should be a triple click to avoid this happening"

"on my mtb under my helmet these are the best headphones around the ear i've had because they look chunky but they really aren't fit perfectly in the air gaps so was mega pleased with that"

"i have a lot of spare buds lying around so managed to find a good fit"

"otherwise connection issues aside it's worth it overall i'd say"

"other models seem to have the same internals i'm guessing so will they be any better?"

"it’s barely noticeable though and i couldn’t care less about it just trying to write a balanced review"

"these have been great never fall out in rain while i'm on bike or in the gym etc"

"my issue is as happened today the indication was 70% charge"

"i would have got another pair but i’m two weeks past the possible return date and can no longer contact the seller"

"even when not exercising and have the device right next to the headphones the audio still suffers"

"previous ~after 2 months of light use the right bud has weaker sound i can only hear music with the left bud i thought it was a good product but i dont see it lasting for long maybe i had a defect i dont know but it was very sudden after a track i just lost sound from the right speaker and now are unusable"

"below average at best"

"in any case to fail so quickly is not a good sign and it seems that the electronics inside is on a cheap side"

"the only slight issue have is that the right bud does not fit into my ear canal quite enough to get the best sound quality so i am experimenting with the different pads supplied"

"a shame as they’re some of the best earphones i’ve purchased"

"with these there’s little chance of losing them"

"the volume control is pretty terrible they have made it dual purpose so the same button also skips ahead or back"

"the volume control is pretty terrible they have made it dual purpose so the same button also skips ahead or back"

"i paid a stupid price for a popular brand and it was money down the drain"

"for me these wouldn’t have worked in the gym as the wire would have annoyed me"

"4 easy music track navigation with buttons again no fumbling around looking for buttons or touching phone"

"also came with a little booklet which was easy to comprehend and set it all up with ease"

"i'll be keeping these little twats as they're perfect for the gym"

"i cycle wearing these gloves and also wear gloves"

"charged them up paired them to the phone a doddle switched the buds for the smallest size and gave them a go"

"however if you plan to use them outdoors do not waste your time the wind noise is so severe very poorly designed in this regard"

"my headphones nomlonger charge ive used different chargers and plugs but the problem is the headphones aren't receiving charge"

"this is my second pair since i lost the first one"

"didn't hold there charge very long and after a few uses they could no longer hold more than 30 seconds of charge even after being charged for hours and no longer work after only a few uses"

"but again for the money you pay for it you can't really complain i suppose"

"im not a serious runner so probably have used then for 20 mins max on the treadmill at a range of speeds"

"if you have problems it will be a hassle to get your money back"

"a bonus is that i don’t annoy other people as they appear to not have noise leakage"

"very poor service for otherwise a good set of headphones"

"if you don't have perfect sound reproduction you've got the wrong size buds fitted"

"i like the design of the headphone i’ve got small ear canals so i find ear buds a challenge to keep in but these headphone wrap around your ear and hold the headphones in place"

"the volume buttons are the wrong way round for my brain but that's my problem really"

"my main downside was that they have this little annoying flashing light on the side of one of the headphones that i have had to put a plaster over so when i use them i can’t see the flashing in my peripheral vision and so they do not disturb me at night"

"well i have had these headphones for four months and one ear has broken with no sound"

"in any case to fail so quickly is not a good sign and it seems that the electronics inside is on a cheap side"

"it's amazing the difference i personally found between the default large silicon buds sounded horribly tinny and the smallest too much bass and the medium buds ah perfect!"

"these headphones were bought because i needed some for my fitness and i didn’t want to lose my airpods i can happily say i’ve stopped using my airpods and i always use these now as the sound quality is just as good with better bass and loudness definelyy recommend!"

"so image you're going through a hard workout and you headphones just die on you!"

"this will drain the power of course"

"the rest isn't difficult to work out"

"i can't justify spending on expensive earphones because i have a worrying propensity for losing them"

"the ear buds are awkward to seat correctly in your ear and are not the most comfortable to wear"

"sent back to amazon for a full refund most disappointed"

"they are fairly comfortable and the sound quality is reasonable for the price however my biggest bugbear is that the battery life is awful!"

"i'm very disappointed as these pale in comparison to my older mpow earphones"

"the hooked part just kind of hangs off my ear phone call quality is rather poor and you’re not able to accept a call you’ll need to decline the call"

"i purchased these nearly a year ago as i have a tendency to break headphones etc so i wanted a nice cheap pair for cycling to work gym etc and if anything happens i'm not losing a ton of money"

"it takes a little bit to finagle if you aren't super tech savvy i realize that sounds ridiculous because it's just headphones but i struggled a little"

"i received these headphones today to replace my old mpow coach which broke due to water damage"

"so it’s more annoying that having a wired pair of headphones"

"battery seemed to drain even if switched off"

"despite the fact that the headphones just don’t fit my ears mpow are sending me another set free of charge with a different fitting to see if that fixes the problem i can tell you that there are much bigger companies with more expensive headphones who wouldn’t bother to go to these lengths to ensure customer satisfaction so it’s a real credit to mpow that they are willing to do this for me"

"hurts the ears for some reason but i guess that’s normal because of bluetooth waves"

"the sound quality is quite poor in comparison and i spend more time adjusting them when i get sweaty as they just aren’t secure enough"

"in fact it was hard to hear them anywhere slightly loud"

"shame as i’ve owned other mpow products with no issues whatsoever but was disappointed in these"

"would be better if battery low warning was an hour before it died"

"but this is a serious concern"

"i realy was looking forwaed for using these and bought these headfones after checking alot of reviews and as i started going gym again product says 9h battery time but trust me it has not lasted more than 2 hrs in the first week and now the battery goes low and shuts off after 1hr or max 1"

"now the audio quality is fairly bad not as bad as you'd expect for ~£20 but still pretty bad"

"unfortunately they have just died"

"one day they're fine then the next they just die"

"would’ve liked longer but the connecting wire seem to be broken and the sound drops out"

"decent headphones when you can use them but the battery life was awful"

"i own a couple of headphones with real noise cancellation and when i am in the office i just enable it and they just kill the constant murmur from the heating system"

"dislikes: complete failure after 10 months stopped during a workout and now can't get them to switch on even after a day of attempted charging no light "

"sadly i have discarded the box so cannot return the product"

"i must say for an unknown brand the sound quality is pretty good and they are great noise cancelling earphones"

"because of this i wasn't interested in spending too much money and the mpow earphones fit the bill perfectly"

"i’ve been desperate for some wireless earphones but didn’t want to spend much because i’m waiting for the new bose earphones to come out next year"

"ignoring cost i would say all aspects such as sound comfort and durability are above average"

"i don’t understand why it’s so low my previous over ear sony bluetooth legitimately had 24 hours plus battery life and the only reason i don’t use those is because they’re too loose for sport"

"the button placement for forward and backward track skipping and volume up and down should be the opposite way round but this is easy to get used to"

"at this price any complaints would be unjustified"

"for the price you can't expect much however the sound quality is really poor"

"the sound sometimes seems a bit bass heavy lacking vocal and treble range however i can't be sure if this is the watch or not and the lack of equaliser within spotify"

"don't know about sound control or noise cancellation bought for a christmas present but will say its beautifully packaged and comes with it's own case holder bought as a couple people i know bought it and they say its brilliant"

"it's just that when it does drop to 40% it will keep interrupting your sound to remind you there's a low battery"

"typically i hate earbuds as i have awkward sized ears but the memory foam tips and wings are a game changer!"

"these are pretty good headphones & i used them for around a month or a month & a half maybe then today after the gym i put them onto charge using the charger cable that they came with & they caught fire now i know they’re call mpow flame but i wasn’t expecting them to actually catch fire"

"not sure if i got a bad pair though"

"i would prefer getting these in a simple plastic bag rather than getting all the nice looking packaging and the product itself being poor"

"bad for make call mic is bad but if you only need for run than is good"

"design and packaging good just a shame they’ve sound no good"

"waste of time and money"

"however i find that the audio keeps skipping jumping and subsequently dropping out meaning my music is choppy and just isn't worth listening to"

"they are much louder"

"however i suspect improving this would lead to an increase in the costs of making the product which will eventually be reflected in the price the consumer pays and 2 the volume control is not the easiest to operate in that it is not very intuitive but it most certainly is not problem enough for me to criticise the product"

"no active noise cancelling"

"my biggest complaint so far is that the beeping for low battery tends to happen about 15 minutes before they die"

"these are not perfect they do still fall out when i'm doing high impact exercise but nowhere near as often as my previous ones have"

"the standard earbuds are ok but not that comfy so wanted to use foam ones that are added turns out they are absolutely massive and won't fit in my ear!"

"running i find am alot sweater and they try and un seat in my ears but get past that i changed the buds to slightly larger for running and had no issues so sweat bit less you'll be more than fine"

"was concerned at this price these might not be great but i was proved very wrong"

"only issue is for more vigorous activity the headphones sometimes come away from the ear which is slightly irritating"

"i’ve been desperate for some wireless earphones but didn’t want to spend much because i’m waiting for the new bose earphones to come out next year"

"my main downside was that they have this little annoying flashing light on the side of one of the headphones that i have had to put a plaster over so when i use them i can’t see the flashing in my peripheral vision and so they do not disturb me at night"

"🤔 these are unusable"

"i first thought that it was because of the bad design of having the on off button on the side and can easily be switched off in my bag so i used the chunky case they came with"

"there is almost no noise cancellation and on the tube i have to keep changing the volume which is annoying"

"in any case to fail so quickly is not a good sign and it seems that the electronics inside is on a cheap side"

"i don't really leave reviews that often but about an hour ago in work the fire alarm went off"

"dislikes: complete failure after 10 months stopped during a workout and now can't get them to switch on even after a day of attempted charging no light "

"i realy was looking forwaed for using these and bought these headfones after checking alot of reviews and as i started going gym again product says 9h battery time but trust me it has not lasted more than 2 hrs in the first week and now the battery goes low and shuts off after 1hr or max 1"

"biggest downside is that when the battery is low you have maybe 10 minutes left before it dies"

"the battery life is good but when it dies"

"after using these headphones after a few weeks i can honestly say they are not worth it!"

"i would have no hesitation in recommending them"

"which can be annoying"

"the volume control is a little fiddly but not a major issue and the skip track function is a bit clunky"

"will be returning asap"

"but now they are flat and the battery will not charge i have also missed the returns deadline by a few days so i'm not happy because now not only am i throwing £20 in the bin but i am left with no headphones!"

"magnetisation would help them not fly around when both are removed and sitting around your neck"

"went jogging a few times with it and it sometimes just started slipping off and i had to keep fitting it back in while jogging which is quite annoying"

"wire too long and uncomfortable on the neck"

"as they are for me useless for running"

"however mine died while charging overnight and refused to turn on"

"i’m still getting it wrong!"

"they are great headphones but aren't so good underground on the train unless you put the volume on full and blast the music loudly which than it will cancel all noise but make you feel like your going deaf"

"doesn't fast charge but when you use probably best to top it up"

"update:since my first review have to change for one of the best for long runnig im traning for marathon do long tranings great battery life and very comforable for long hours"

"they are fairly comfortable and the sound quality is reasonable for the price however my biggest bugbear is that the battery life is awful!"

"before i went away i noticed that not using the headphones for only a day with over 50% battery life would leave me with a useless pair of headphones for the gym that were flat"

"they hurt the inner ear and ear canal if you push them in too far if you don’t push them in far enough you get an awful tinny sound"

"only downsize for me is that when you're in the treadmill its a pain because the cable keeps sliding down which means i have to re adjust it quite a lot"

"clearly this indication is wrong or they are powering down while still significantly charged"

"my biggest complaint so far is that the beeping for low battery tends to happen about 15 minutes before they die"

"so i recently upgraded my phone to one with no earphone jack and the lightning adaptor wouldn’t take my trusty old earphones and the ones supplied with the phone fall out so no joy there although my daughter is happy with her new free pair "

"misleading advertising hence the 3 stars headset itself is pretty much identical to my previous set and sounds ok"

"the control box on each one just makes them heavier than they need to be and causes them to fall out"

"this is my first pair of bluetooth headphones and i'll never go back to wired!"

"without i've not really much exp using them without the eq on but it's just less bass"

"these are good but i have a couple of issues"

"i followed the instructions to the letter yet it still took 40mins and several attempts before this product successfully paired with my phone"

"using them for running diy and calls in general"

"also the brackets that go around your ears aren’t adjustable nothing on them are so for my ears they sit a little too high"

"i paid a stupid price for a popular brand and it was money down the drain"

"not being a techy it was a bit of a fiddle for me to bind it with alexa but i managed with some reassurance from an online video"

"cheap & cheerfull fully water proof i have taken these on a run in the hammering rain still work no shocks and if the did break due to water damage i'm not going to complain i'm just going to buy another pair :"

"so i spent more more than i should and the other company lost a sale"

"this is a bloody shame cos they would easily have been a 5 star item had they dealt with this issue at development"

"the only problem is the on off bottom as i haven’t worked out a way not the hurt my ear when pressing it guess you have to be used to it would like it to be slithery smaller as well"

"i wanted these to replace cabled iphone headphones but cannot get along with these"

"i found them to sound far too muddy 100 200hz being very prominent and a huge lack of frequencies from 8khz onwards"

"ive had many pairs of bluetooth wireless headphones that have not came close tho these mpow ones these are the cheapest ones i have but cheap does not mean poor quality im very surprised how much quality is packed into these no connection issues sound quality is good great and they are comfy"

"so i spent more more than i should and the other company lost a sale"

"the hooked part just kind of hangs off my ear phone call quality is rather poor and you’re not able to accept a call you’ll need to decline the call"

"things went from bad to worse when i realised the sound had far too much low frequency bass and was both distracting and annoying"

"updatenov 2019: after leaving this review i was contacted by mpow customer service offering to send out a new pair to replace the broken ones!"

"the only reason i don't return them is because it isn't worth the hassle for their price"

"maybe separate buttons on the other ear piece would have been a better idea than to have to hold down for a few seconds every time you want to skip a track skipping backwards more than one track is a bit of an ordeal but i guess normally you wont need to do this"

"the previous pair lasted just over a year before needing to be replaced"

"the skip button is hard to find with big gloves on"

"i have the most awkward ears in the world and up to now have spent a lot of money over the years on earbuds that claim to ‘fit any ear’ with the result being that they always fall out within 10 seconds of me wobbling my head!"

"my main downside was that they have this little annoying flashing light on the side of one of the headphones that i have had to put a plaster over so when i use them i can’t see the flashing in my peripheral vision and so they do not disturb me at night"

"battery life felt short about 4 5 hrs"

"imagine my surprise when the box itself says the running time is only 7 hours"

"so it came as no surprise when i lost them yet again this week"

"however it did not last long"

"after second or third recharge the sound on one ear has almost stopped"

"i finally admitted defeat and wore over the ear earphones for years which were okay but not ideal for running"

"i usually wouldn’t order them but having walked and run with them a couple of times i don’t mind it and can barely notice it"

"i'm not usually one for this type of earphone i prefer earbuds like iphone ones i could never really get comfortable with the other type but these actually fit really well"

"not for small ears"

"it will connect to bluetooth for a few short minutes and then disconnect which is really disturbing when listening to music"

"what's especially annoying is that it starts to fall even more when i pick up my running pace which encourages me to slow down to keep it in place"

"i'm afraid they are going to fall off"

"microphone is horrible"

"the earphones do not feel comfortable when worn due to the weight of the ear pieces and the mic is very poor for calls"

"it was frustrating i wanted bluetooth headphones but didn't know which"

"i am yet to test in that capacity but cannot foresee any issues because they have a flush fit and are not too bulky"

"was a bit fiddly to get them to sit right but didn't take long"

"one downside to these is the noice cancellation isn’t the best but it’s nowhere near the worst"

"it's not a base machine but for the price it's more than loud enough"

"but now they are flat and the battery will not charge i have also missed the returns deadline by a few days so i'm not happy because now not only am i throwing £20 in the bin but i am left with no headphones!"

"after having attempted 5 runs with these headphones i've found them to not be exactly usable"

"i don't usually write reviews"

"if you don't have petite ears and don't mind having limited buttons that takes just a little bit longer to figure out then these are for you they are slick and do the job"

"i've used them to connect to my iphone my apple watch my ipad and even tv"

"your headset is connected beep your headset is not connected beep your headset is connected beep your headset is not connected beep your headset is connected beep your headset is not connected beep"

"light use generally not everyday for hours"

"wanted a cheap set off headphones for the gym and running i wasn't expecting too much from thee at the price they were but i was totally taken back by the sound quality!"

"packaging 10 10 came with a case & accessories sound very loud bassy no fault on the sound however haven’t moved about with them so can’t comment on that "

"just come back from a holiday and not only is the battery totally flat but it won't even charge!"

"the last straw was when i realised that my phone's sound equaliser settings really didn't make much difference and within 1 hour of receiving it the item was packaged up again ready for return"

"distance is a little short only across a small house if on the same floor but it's eliminated the frustration of catching my headphones and ripping one out"

"i would bench mark these at around the equivalent of a cheap £5 pair of wired headphone you can get in a supermarket"

"maybe separate buttons on the other ear piece would have been a better idea than to have to hold down for a few seconds every time you want to skip a track skipping backwards more than one track is a bit of an ordeal but i guess normally you wont need to do this"

"just come back from a holiday and not only is the battery totally flat but it won't even charge!"

"however i find that the audio keeps skipping jumping and subsequently dropping out meaning my music is choppy and just isn't worth listening to"

"i recently broke two different cheap bluetooth headphones since inferior quality"

"previous ~after 2 months of light use the right bud has weaker sound i can only hear music with the left bud i thought it was a good product but i dont see it lasting for long maybe i had a defect i dont know but it was very sudden after a track i just lost sound from the right speaker and now are unusable"

"i’m going to look for other earphones now as i can’t trust that this won’t happen again"

"never again"

"also it's noticeable that in the product handbook they don't mention noise cancellation at all as there's no control to enable disable it maybe because it doesn't exist at all"

"previous ~after 2 months of light use the right bud has weaker sound i can only hear music with the left bud i thought it was a good product but i dont see it lasting for long maybe i had a defect i dont know but it was very sudden after a track i just lost sound from the right speaker and now are unusable"

"could do with some slightly smaller memory foam ear pads as l think this would stop this issue"

"anyway these broke in one ear after about 2 months and i returned them"

"99 as a second set to live in my backpack in case i forgot to bring my more expensive daily drivers out with me"

"only problem is they really do cancel noise and he can't hear me when he has them in"

"i bought these to use while travelling as i didn't want to use my huge sennheisers and risk losing them"

"* the noise isolation is pretty decent as to be expected from most in ear headphones they let louder sources through just as well but do a pretty good job of cutting conversational levels of background chatter"

"just a shame about the whole listening experience being miserable"

"i ordered it about 2 and a half years ago and recently the left earphone stopped working"

"to avoid this i have to balance the headphone just infront of my ear cannel which negates the whole point of the “ear plug” design of the headphones"

"now after just 4 weeks all vocals on any songs or soundtrack are barely a whisper whilst the bass booms and thumps along making listening to music with these earbuds a complete waste of time and also money"

"they do an excellent job of blocking out the noise of people typing texts on their phones with keypad tones on crying babies and even the disapproving mutterings of city workers who couldn't stretch to a first class ticket"

"additionally what i found extremely annoying was that when i was wearing them outside while walking and was trying to have a conversation with people they were complaining they could not hear me and could only hear banging and strange noises"

"i was really disappointing that these broke after 2 months of use so i could not even refund them"

"just a shame about the whole listening experience being miserable"

"it seems that nobody tested them for a start they are a bigger diameter than most not much but enough to make them uncomfortable and the worst problem is the sharp edge which hurts your ears after 10 minutes!"

"i brought these after getting disappointed after my wireless earbuds i recently purchased failed to work"

"upon receiving this product earlier today i was disappointed to see that the cables weren't in fact braided as i thought by looking at the pictures and the "powerful bass" is actually rather pathetic"

"the headphones look good quality but i was very disappointed when i plugged them in"

"they are unbelievably loud!"

"it’s a health and safety hazard really annoying because i have to buy a new pair now and that’s another 10 quid :"

"if you will be lucky enough you will get these earphones without any defect as mine the right ear provide more sound than left so they came unbalanced "

"on previous occasions i have paid a hefty price for good quality earphones from other manufacturers only to be disappointed with performance and durability"

"horrible mistake and would recommend purchasing a better for slightly more"

"bassy quite muddy missing some mids and average highs"

"do not bother buying"

"i bought these as a cheap stop gap for my annual dose of blocking the horrible sounds of other people out for 2 hours on a train to london"

"i don't write a lot of reviews but after what i thought would be an unmitigated disaster i had to come to rate these bad boys five stars"

"they're the worst earphones i've bought"

"the biggest problem was always a tangled wire as i would often rip it off and one headphone would not work annoying if you listen to music!"

"so after all the trial and error and using an equalizer they're sounding quite decent but would definitely say the treble is quite harsh whatever the tip"

"when i find my peace disturbed on the bus or train by a fellow passenger's leaky earphones which clearly don't work properly i shall have to restrain myself from telling them about betron b 25s and why they should get a pair"

"they get quite cold because of this so be warned when putting them into your ears on a cold day!"

"my verdict: these are cheap and if you need a replacement fast because your current pair is broken or just too crappy and don't have enough time to read reviews and ponder on which earphone to buy have these as a temporary filler"

"i havent tested them out while running but considering that my daily bus ride is extremely bumpy id say they would be fine for running if that's your style"

"these headphones earphones won’t blow you away but they easily compete with my previous purchases from klipsch and pioneer which both cost me in the region of £40 £50"

"one set was brought at christmas 2016 the other pair in jaunary 2016 and so far they have performed perfectly"

"however after wearing for some time i found these to be really uncomfortable"

"i brought them for my recent holiday as i like to watch a film on my phone trouble is because there is there constant drone of the plane engine i am usually struggling to hear the film and it's pointless however this was not a problem with these eat phones the volume was"

"i bought these headphones due to the positive reviews for myself however they are the most irritating headphones i've ever had!"

"the wire gets weirdly stiff after some use but they do have amazing sound quality and the bass is to die for edit : the wire broke today don't use them roughly the wire tubing popped out of the left bud strangely"

"at first they were terrible but then i realised had to change the size of the rubber part they provide you with a variety of sizes but even after i found the right size the sound was better but still bad"

"furthermore i didn’t need to send them the old pair of headphones that were broken back which would have been very difficult "

"within the first 100m of walking while using these yesterday just after they had arrived the intermittent crackle and hiss became permanent and was as horrible to hear as it was disappointing"

"i really cannot fault these the only person who does not like them is our dog as he is getting walked so much more as i can now enjoy my music on the move"

"furthermore i didn’t need to send them the old pair of headphones that were broken back which would have been very difficult "

"tinny uncomfortable top heavy and generally crap"

"a light nudge on the jack or line causes crackling or silence so if you are sitting down listening to an audiobook they would probably be sufficient but there are probably other earphones out there that do the same job for less money"

"however i was wrong these earphones produce a much clearer sound than the classic apple earphones that most people own the sound quality and noise cancellation is the best i've heard"

"can't fault them for the price really"

"not peaceful or restful and this was a cardiac ward not bedlam!"

"i use these with an mp3 player noise rejection quite very good especially if you push them hard into the ear to get the best possible seal sound quality extremely good astonishing bass price low well worth taking a chance on overall excellent much better than you might expect for the price"

"after wasting money on various different earphones i bought these ones based on others' reviews stating how good they were for the price and also in terms of the noise cancelling quality"

"the headphones were up to basic headphone standard the noise cancelling isn’t life changing or anything but do cancel out more than average headphones"

"the headphones themselves have a very good sound and are lovely to listen to music too the only issue i can find is the bass being too loud sometimes which muffles all the other sound"

"what suprises me the most is that both ears are still working fine at their max volume 1 year and 2 months later most 10 quid earphones fall apart after a few hours ive had 7 pairs of sienheisser in ear where one ear has failed within 6 months so i have a good headset for stationary and good quality music and a cheap pair of in ears for mobility rather than waste quadrupple the price on good in ears like jbls skullcandies and sienhiessers that break immediately"

"i have had several over the years and always the wires go hard which is a massive shame"

"perhaps i've been unfortunate but at least i can vouch for the sound quality and how much sound it can block for earphones"

"i thought maybe mine were faulty but looking at the other low reviews this seems to be common so either the quality control isn't very good or there's a lot of fake reviews"

"i consider myself as someone who looked after these headphones returning them to the pouch neatly folded after every use however after less than 2 3 months one of the earphones broke"

"these headphones have a fairly good sound with an obvious and somewhat overzealous emphasis on bass"

"they're still disappointing"

"my husband bought these for me because i am getting ready to start a degree and we live in noisy neighbourhood i must say they do exactly what i expect them to do"

"i guess the good reviewers for this product must have inferior ears or just haven't heard good sound quality before"

"for this reason i usually buy cheap earphones"

"feeling very mislead after spending my hard earned money on this product would highly recommend looking for a different brand with a higher level of quality as there are many better headphones at the same price point"

"they do an excellent job of blocking out the noise of people typing texts on their phones with keypad tones on crying babies and even the disapproving mutterings of city workers who couldn't stretch to a first class ticket"

"in less than 8 months i'm already at my third pair as my previous two had suffered from sound output and connection problems while another had fallen apart through use"

"the selection of earbuds provided allowed me to find the perfect fit for my ears and these headphones truly do cancel out nearly all external sound perfect when working in a noisy environment"

"just plain old rubbish don't bother"

"the sound was pretty awful initially but after much wrangling for solutions managed to find some fluff in the headphone socket of my phone and once that was removed the sound was now tolerable"

"absolute nightmare"

"even sitting or just walking along i constantly have to readjust them and put them back in my ears as the weight and rigidity of the cables have forced them out"

"perhaps i've just been very unlucky and received faulty ones in a mostly perfect batch but imo just fork out a bit more for something that can withstand more than two weeks"

"i've bought from this company before and have never been disappointed so when i needed replacement earbuds i decided to check these out"

"as well as this i assumed there were in line controls for the headphones but after opening the packaging it's apparently just a decorative lump where the two headphone cables join would've cost pennies to add a few buttons here"

"i've had cheap senheisers which were better detailed in the highs but lacked bass and were cheaper build quality so these although not perfect they are very good value overall and the cable itself seems like it will last"

"i swapped them for my usual panasonic earphones which were about the same price and they seemed much better balanced"

"on the plane these were decent at blocking out noise although one of the first annoyances was the cable noise"

"edit sept 2019 four years on and i am still buying these headphones every time they break"

"you will hear deep bass much clearer without crackle or ringing sounds and high pitched tones are gentle there were parts of songs i never even noticed existed until i had truly heard them with these earphones and i used the apple iphone earphones beforehand"

"i bought these as a replacement for a pair of sony earphones that eventually fell apart after a decade of faithful service"

"i thought maybe mine were faulty but looking at the other low reviews this seems to be common so either the quality control isn't very good or there's a lot of fake reviews"

"i have not attempted working out with them because it would be impossible!"

"hi i lost my very expensive ear phones"

"also they don't leak noise like some headphones so you keep your music to yourself"

"i was then asked to write a review of the product i don't like leaving negative reviews so i wasn't so sure"

"50 these are no better than my samsung cheap ones that are 2"

"these betron were to be for connecting to an mp3 player whilst walking through the noisy city"

"good quality sound comfortable and nice wiring until it gets stiff later down the line"

"the rubber ear plugs effectively seal out most extraneous noise"

"no such problem with betron honestly!"

"still i'd highly recommend to make good use of the pouch for transporting in your pocket the plastic covers for the ears don't retract compress so easily unlike others i've used so they'll happily stick into your thighs if you have tight pockets"

"actually i was wrong water did not make any damage or any difference within sound quality and that made me so surprised even though there was no information about product being waterproof which means it never was!"

"the metal shell started coming apart and it used to give me static electric shock in my ear when i would insert them sometimes which makes me think these are really cheaply made"

"it's a big sound thick note presentation and deep bass which will do well for edm style music but i fund it overbearing and slow"

"also the metal feels cold when first put in your ear but warms up with the heat of your body and soon feels little hot"

"i bought them about 4 or 5 months ago and they still have the quality in them that they did when i first opened the packet despite my admittedly rough way of storing them i"

"these looked great at first but after only 5 uses the sound quality started getting worse and after onky a couole more uses on of the sides stopped working completely"

"niggles: head units are a little large heavy i'm talking relatively here "

"one major problem is that on average the product has a lifespan of 3 4 months before either one or both insert earphones stop working"

"to be fair it did do a decent job of blocking out 2 lawnmowers and i know i was expecting a lot for £10 but some of the photos do make it look like the outside of the earphone contains a microphone when it's just a bit of plastic that looks like a mic"

"i previously purchased earphones from then and kept having problems"

"they didn't disappoint at all from the moment i got the packaging and would definitely repurchase them really isolated other noises around me gym airport flights cafe "

"i have really small ears so those 'sporty' type styles with the part that hooks over your ear to hold them in place just doesn't work they always fall off and i end up having to force the in ear part further into my ear just to keep them on very uncomfortable!"

"i've had much better quality sound from samsung earphones which they supply with their phones or can be bought for around £3 i'm almost inclined to believe these are faulty as the sound from them is that underwhelming"

"have been using these earphones for years now because they are in my opinion the best value for money and amazing quality i've spent double this and got half the quality and duration these earphones are honestly the best money can buy without spending £40+"

"at the moment it is too soon to give them 5 as that would depend on the time they last since that is the main problem with earphones"

"as for wear and tear they have took some punishment far more than most of the earphones i have bought and i have spent more than double on higher end models"

"terrible headphones i'm so sorry i've missed the opportunity to return them"

"on the plane these were decent at blocking out noise although one of the first annoyances was the cable noise"

"they're also quite heavy and bulky and the weight makes them fall out easily unless you jam them right into the ear canal"

"i bought these by mistake as i got myself somewhat lost clicking link after link looking for the right noise cancellation earphones"

"i brought them for my recent holiday as i like to watch a film on my phone trouble is because there is there constant drone of the plane engine i am usually struggling to hear the film and it's pointless however this was not a problem with these eat phones the volume was"

"the sound of the tv programme is not completely eliminated at low volume levels"

"found my old earphones were lacking clarity"

"unfortunately i've had 2 sets develop a fault after about 6 months use both due to the same design flaw"

"dumped th first pair as i thought it was faulty but th second pair is doing the same thing"

"although because there is no microphone it’s more difficult but not impossible obviously to know which is left or right"

"build quality: they lose points here"

"contact customer service about it because the product has a one year warranty and they may send you a replacement if you return the defective ones"

"duration is not good"

"as many people do i bought these on the strength of other reviews but am sadly disappointed"

"the only issue is that it wont last very long if you're a constant user"

"however sadly due to the lack of covering around wire near the earpiece area ive found it isn't long before the plastic comes out exposing the actual wire and causing the earpiece to stop working"

"most minor or problems and hardly noticeable disappears when something is playing 11 10"

"is nice they come with a carrring pouch and spare earbuds for larger ears or smaller ones"

"i suspect a slight manufacturing issue with my pair"

"the sealing between the jack and the wire tends to become weak after 3 weeks i've had a few of these models "

"given i paid under a tenner for them and the only more effective alternative is bulky extremely expensive noise cancelling headphones they are a great choice"

"these headphones would better suit audio books as the base and wack ass lows would make the talker a little more defined but nothing aside from that and for heavens sake dont use these for any professional manner"

"the sound was pretty awful initially but after much wrangling for solutions managed to find some fluff in the headphone socket of my phone and once that was removed the sound was now tolerable"

"ok first of all after 2 years of my bose true sounds earphones serving me great unfortunately they gave up on me!"

"cant move head too much at lower volume as they are so flimsy that you can hear them folding moving in you ear"

"the biggest problem was always a tangled wire as i would often rip it off and one headphone would not work annoying if you listen to music!"

"just a quick review regarding these little earbuds yep do a good job with my i pad sending me off to sleep in no time i do go thru a lot of these ear buds in a year though no fault of any particular seller or make just me turning over in my sleep sometimes drags the i pad off it's desk and the easiest"

"tried these little beauties and even whilst mowing the lawn or vacuuming i only use 75% volume and its crystal clear"

"i initially wrote a poor review of these but having spent more time with them i need to correct this slightly and explain the good bad better in my opinion "

"used the earphones for less than a week and the one ear is already broken"

"also the back is slightly bent which seems like it's unstable as i've been super careful with them"

"overall apart from some minor gripes it is a solid quality budget set of in ear headphones"

"the packaging threw me off course as i didn't expect a cheap headphone will be well packaged"

"i've had cheap senheisers which were better detailed in the highs but lacked bass and were cheaper build quality so these although not perfect they are very good value overall and the cable itself seems like it will last"

"good over noise quality and they stayed in ear even through some hard snowboarding"

"these fall out easily when you're moving about"

"it says noise isolating"

"most frail part of the connection is normally the bud end which after a few twangs of strain will disconnect from soldered end of mini speaker solution: headphones or sod the neighbours lol!"

"only small criticism is that whilst it states compatible with iphone you do need an adapter and this isn’t very clear"

"as to the sound it's fine for the reason i chose them which is to exercise in the gym and being able to listen to my choice of music not the incessant techno rubbish they put out over the gym's speakers"

"don't waste your money on headphones that cost £100+ when these are a million times better"

"not sure why they didnt use a rubber sleeve so you can move it up so the ear pieces are kept together when rolling the cable up after use"

"last 5 years i've bought an almost endless supply of cheap chinese imitation apple earphones"

"they just lack the punch"

"sound quality was tinny and always sounded way too high"

"i like these earphones a lot they do exactly what they claim to noise cancelling in an ever busy noisy world are a godsend to someone like me who loves peace and quiet"

"however sadly due to the lack of covering around wire near the earpiece area ive found it isn't long before the plastic comes out exposing the actual wire and causing the earpiece to stop working"

"but the truth is these come nowhere as close as the sound quality of basic apple earphones"

"like every two minutes one would come loose or fall out"

"i don't believe these do have noise cancellation though as background noise is only reduced as much as you'd expect from shoving rubber earbuds in your ears"

"i have tried all the different rubber attachments to see which make them fit my ears the best and i must say none of them do"

"99 they were unlikely to be any kind of decent quality but i keep breaking and losing my headphones as i use them for cycling etc alot"

"while not completely noise cancelling they are as advertised "noise isolating " blocking out much of the sound around you aside from loud music or conversations"

"my son has a habit of breaking earphones with alarming regularity they don't make them like they used to i suppose mine lasted for 3 years with me just a weekend when i lent them to him not this brand "

"sound is impressive for the price but at full volume i did hear a loud car exhaust over my music recently"

"only couple minor criticisms e"

"the metal shell is very heavy so it is difficult to get them to stay in"

"sadly the left side broke after 3 months"

"terrible packaging that looks ancient"

"i've had a few pairs in time including really expensive ones and these are as good if not better than all of them they look good with a metal effect wire and solid looking ear pieces sound quality is excellent and probably better than my old expensive pair"

"and then they fell out"

"also i was in a bay with other ladies including snorers and ones who needed attention during the night regularly along with people yelling in other bays because he was in with a snorer too"

"if you're like me and you just want a second pair of headphones that doesn't break the bag in case of emergencies then really you can't fault these little in ears"

"so i won't be using these down the gym again maybe just at home when i can sit still and not risk them falling out all the time"

"the item i purchased also falls out of the ears quite easily too sound clarity is not great and i just can't seem to get on with them"

"i brought these after getting disappointed after my wireless earbuds i recently purchased failed to work"

"i’ve been buying sennhieser for about 10 years now & these are just as good for a quarter of the price"

"however i probably won't be buying betrons again"

"bought these before a long haul flight and although the dreamliner is quieter than other planes still couldn't hear any external noise actually missed the pilot's announcement!"

"while not really 'noise isolating' as they are simply in ear and more like ear plugs rather than active noise cancelling they are pretty decent for the cheap price"

"i brought them for my recent holiday as i like to watch a film on my phone trouble is because there is there constant drone of the plane engine i am usually struggling to hear the film and it's pointless however this was not a problem with these eat phones the volume was"

"i genuinely only think these survived so long thanks to the metallic construction"

"so far these have made it through spring downfalls which is where others gave up the ghost"

"however immediately testing them for first time i could tell they weren't up to scratch and were simply cheapo quality but given a fairly fancy looking exterior or at least looks good in product photos "

"the sound quality is a little lacking in bass but i think this is a universal issue in this price range"

"also the small speaker is incredible value "

"feeling very mislead after spending my hard earned money on this product would highly recommend looking for a different brand with a higher level of quality as there are many better headphones at the same price point"

"finding good quality but cheap headphones can be difficult however these certainly tick the box"

"my samsung earphones that came with my phone we're dreadful at isolating noise so i could hardly hear anything on my phone or tablet when flying"

"the connecting cable is tougher than anything else apart from my syncwire charging cables and the design of the back of the earbud is less prone to damage or wera and tear"

"had several failed deliveries including a recent order which was recorded as being delivered and was nowhere to be found with no response from amazon when i reported that the product was not delivered "

"they are easy to break and very fragile"

"not dubstep tho never dubstep"

"despite this it is not ideal to have to request one every 4 months due to a failing product time and again"

"5 years of using them in bed pretty much every night falling asleep and mangling them running in the rain generally abusing them"

"sound quality is ok but the pieces are just slotted together and made of cheap plastic so it falls apart"

"however if you want a decent pair of earphones that will last you and you appreciate a well balanced sound don't touch this with a mile long jack"

"for the price of the headphones i was not expecting too much so i put a drop of superglue on the plastic and glued the metal cover back"

"but after a couple of months you will probably replace them during that time you will enjoy some really good sound"

"maybe a little too weighted on the low end but given 5 stars because i’m taking into account the price"

"in addition one pair we bought is no longer usable as the wire is now exposed where it comes out of the plug so the sound quality and level is drastically reduced"

"i use headphones every day: music to and from work gym weekends long walks on the phone "

"only downside is they dont have a microphone but for this price i really cant complain"

"i can't complain for the price but based on the 3 000+ positive i guess i had higher expectations"

"at first they were terrible but then i realised had to change the size of the rubber part they provide you with a variety of sizes but even after i found the right size the sound was better but still bad"

"unfortunately after thirteen months of me falling asleep and getting tangled up in them my b25's have finally expired "

"i only need to listen to them on 1 or 2 volume to get the volume i like which isn't really really loud as i'm a bit sensitive to sounds but instead it's enough to get rid of the outside sounds and enjoy my music "

"the headphones are completely sealed so when you insert the headphone into your ear you can hear the speaker pop and crackle as the vacuum pressure inside your ear pushes back on the speaker"

"they are very comfortable and come with a selection of sizes in a bag along with them that you can then use to store your earphones if you choose to which i only do when i am storing them somewhere in my room or somewhere over night "

"absolutely no base treble and mid is way to high and it says that they cancel out noise but it sounds as if you aren’t wearing headphones at all"

"what suprises me the most is that both ears are still working fine at their max volume 1 year and 2 months later most 10 quid earphones fall apart after a few hours ive had 7 pairs of sienheisser in ear where one ear has failed within 6 months so i have a good headset for stationary and good quality music and a cheap pair of in ears for mobility rather than waste quadrupple the price on good in ears like jbls skullcandies and sienhiessers that break immediately"

"don't wrap the cable round the mp3 when not in use as it will eventually damage the inner wiring!"

"i don't know if i recieved a faulty pair but after about a week only one side was making any sound"

"you will hear deep bass much clearer without crackle or ringing sounds and high pitched tones are gentle there were parts of songs i never even noticed existed until i had truly heard them with these earphones and i used the apple iphone earphones beforehand"

"hopefully this set of earphones will be of a higher standard since the last pair may have been abnormal"

"🤣🤣 so i know the noise cancellation works and the volume control"

"sadly the left side broke after 3 months"

"falls out from ears"

"this is the 5th pair bought within 3 months for my daughter i never asked questions when she keeps asking for a new pair as they stopped working again"

"my verdict: these are cheap and if you need a replacement fast because your current pair is broken or just too crappy and don't have enough time to read reviews and ponder on which earphone to buy have these as a temporary filler"

"comfort if it's simply comfortable to wear or if it could hurt your ears after a certain amount of time while wearing them different types of volume high low 4"

"but once i had received the product i soon found out that they definitely did not live up to these claims at least most of them the sound quality definitely reflects the price of these headphones with a heavy lean on treble and lacking in bass and mids"

"edit: these headphones finally failed after 1"

"ps only con i can think of is that there’s is a slight buzz when plugged in and nothing is playing"

"these headphones have been a disappointment for me"

"the sound especially noticeable in the bus and train was louder than my previous earphones at the same volume indicator"

"after reading a lot of good reviews and also bad reviews i thought i would try these"

"these headphones would better suit audio books as the base and wack ass lows would make the talker a little more defined but nothing aside from that and for heavens sake dont use these for any professional manner"

"the base is poor the sound feels distant and muted there is no sound isolation and they are uncomfortable"

"they don't sound cheap or particularly nasty"

"i used to go through earphones at the rate of one a month"

"so i decided to pay more hoping they would last sometime"

"strong cable doesn’t get tangled"

"got 2 pairs and here is my honest and similar review for both pairs metal part of earphones are not insulated and hence it gives me shock due to static charge in the ears when walking or jogging"

"no volume adjust but that is advertised so can’t fault it on that but it would be nice"

"not awful mind and i imagine that if you didn't have an ear for audio mix downs you wouldn't care but for me it just sounds bad"

"i bought these as a replacement for a pair of sony earphones that eventually fell apart after a decade of faithful service"

"bass is not that good as you think don't expect much from it your music app could do a lot better"

"the base is poor the sound feels distant and muted there is no sound isolation and they are uncomfortable"

"i have a range of headphones ranging from mega cheap 99p ones to branded expensive ones £200+ which i use for different things"

"i'd suggest just go for some basic sony in ears for the same price and don't bother with this brand update: after three weeks now the left headphone has started intermittently cutting out curious about when it finally dies"

"also these feel weird in the ear: most of the weight seems to be angled outwards towards the rear of the earphone"

"had several failed deliveries including a recent order which was recorded as being delivered and was nowhere to be found with no response from amazon when i reported that the product was not delivered "

"nevertheless it was enjoyable to use on a day to day basis however its biggest downfall the durability is so poor it only lasted me three months improvements need to be made in quality testing and material choice by the manufacturer as a good seller i hope you take this feedback and provide this information to the manufacturing and improve your quality"

"i've had these earphones before the only negative thing i can say is that the wires get a bit stiff after a lot of use"

"however i won't buy them again"

"one major problem is that on average the product has a lifespan of 3 4 months before either one or both insert earphones stop working"

"i've been buying betron headphones earphones for a number of years but this is around the point where i'm probably going to start shopping around for alternative brands as this pair have lasted me around three months in total before getting sound dropping issues when the right side cable isn't in a certain position"

"i wear these for commuting and i am usually pretty careful however the plastic inside the gold trim yes i got the gold ones cracked which means that the jack itself is crooked something i have never had happen on any jack before usually its the wires that go first"

"they make the treble and all the high frequency sounds way louder than everything else songs i normally like hurt my ears even on very quiet volume"

"i bought these by mistake as i got myself somewhat lost clicking link after link looking for the right noise cancellation earphones"

"the first pair i lost"

"what suprises me the most is that both ears are still working fine at their max volume 1 year and 2 months later most 10 quid earphones fall apart after a few hours ive had 7 pairs of sienheisser in ear where one ear has failed within 6 months so i have a good headset for stationary and good quality music and a cheap pair of in ears for mobility rather than waste quadrupple the price on good in ears like jbls skullcandies and sienhiessers that break immediately"

"i've paid a lot more for earphones that have been far inferior to these so i'm very pleased with them"

"l and r could be more visible but not a lot of people care about those kind of things"

"my only downside is in order to maximise the bass you need to push the earphones deep into your ears but by doing this the bud seems to create a suction within your ear canal which is quite uncomfortable"

"cons: * the cable is not long enough"

"it has not moved since"

"they have lots of ear bud sizes and they come in a lovely little bag but other than that i wouldn't buy again"
