The Sound Quality is Much Better than 4.5 Stars
I can’t believe the overall review on these earphones averages out to a 4.5. Maybe it’s because athletes were expecting these to last forever, or have a tendency to do things that put a lot of stress on the cord, or it’s ends, or they’re getting tons of sweat or rain inside them.My perspective on these, I’ve probably tried at least 20 different corded earphones, and I’m talking premium name brands, plus the same with earbuds and headphones. I guess you’d say I’m always on a quest for the best, and sometimes for the lowest cost. For $20, I think these are the best.When I purchased these I wasn’t expecting much. I’ve tried the JBL 110, JBL Live 100. For what they are, they’re ok. I just did a side by side comparison with those, and these, playing specific songs I like, gave the best overall balance of tone, with much higher volume than those other JBL’s, and enhanced dynamic presence on each song, as if I was hearing the song live in-concert. The drums and cymbals, the bass, the guitar, and the vocals, were all incredibly balanced, crystal clear with no distortion, incredibly present as if the band was right in front of me, and that was for studio recorded songs.I think one of the biggest problems with earphones achieving all the above, is partially related to how well they seat deeply in your ear, and remain that way. Most earphones don’t achieve that but these do, and they do it extremely well.I had been thinking about these earphones for months, and kept talking myself out of buying them, due to the reviews for them only averaging out to 4.5, I typically won’t buy anything on Amazon unless the review for it is over 4.5. Plus, I almost didn’t buy these because I thought since they were for running, excercise and for active wear, that maybe the sound quality made certain sacrifices, compared to other JBL earphones. Not buying these would’ve been a huge mistake, they’re not only the best sounding JBL earphones, they’re the best earphones of any big name brand that I’ve ever tried, and I own some that cost way more than these. Now my plan is to order 2-3 more boxes of these, because JBL does have a tendency to stop making certain earphone models.As for the grade I gave this, I’m giving these a 5.0, because for $20, the sound is incredible, so incredible, I would’ve been willing to pay at least $50 for them, and still been happy with my purchase, the sound quality is that good. I’ve spent a lots of name brand earphones and this $20 pair puts an end to my earphone tone quest, I’m getting more of them as back-upsNow for the 4.5 reviews on here, and athletes or those that exercise and use these, I’m guessing with your phone in your pocket, and jumping up-and-down, twisting and turning, and putting stress on the ends of the cord of these, and stretching it out too far, or getting the inside of the earphones contantly wet with sweat or rain, yeah maybe they do stop working after a while, so what, they’re only $20. If I was an athlete and purchased these for $20, and was exercising daily, and stressing and pulling on the ends of the cord, and drowning the inside of them with sweat or rain, and they stopped working after a few months, I wouldn’t care if I had to buy another pair every few months, the sound the provide is incredible for $20. Stop whinning, suck it up and buy another pair if you’re abusing the cord everyday. And if you’re looking for something with a lifetime gurantee that’s indestructible no-matter-what, and sounds this good for $20, please let me know when you find it.So whether you exercise or not, I dare you try these and say the sound they provide isn’t worth $20. And if you find a pair that does sound better for $20, please let me know.

great for the price, and fits in my ears!
I love these! As someone who has always had issues with earbuds slowly falling out of my ears over time, these stay nice and snug. The sound quality is great for what you pay for, I have no complaints there. I haven’t tested the microphone yet, but I’ll be using these for my ipod so that’s not something I’m worried about. I think these are worth the price alone for the fact that they don’t fall out of my ears. 🙂

Hace tiempo compré el mismo modelo pero en azul y blanco (que aún tengo), y puedo decir que en calidad de materiales y audio son lo mismo, unos audífonos con muy buena definición de audio; quizá, no destacan por sus bajos, pero se nota una buena calidad de sonido (yo los uso para videojuegos y ejercicio). Los otros audífonos azul y blanco, venía en una caja de mejor calidad que incluso abre y cierra por imanes como si fuese un libro; aunque claro, se reflejó en el precio, ya que costaron unos $200 MXN más que estos. Y lo que más me gusta, es su función de imanes, ya que si alguien quiere hablarme o necesito dejar un momento mis audífonos sobre la mesa, esto facilita su uso y para mis los hace súper prácticos.

Esse fone me surpreendeu. Após eu fazer três compras de fones ”baratos” em lojinhas de eletrônicos, e todos eles estragarem em pouco tempo, resolvi investir um pouco mais num fone original com fio. Pesquisando na amazon encontrei boas avaliações sobre esse e achei que o preço compensava bastante, visto que os três fones que eu comprei deram por volta de uns 90 reais no total, e todos iam e davam defeito de um jeito ou de outro. Comprei ele e estou usando não sei exatamente quanto tempo, mas já tem por volta de quase um ano. Não não deu nenhum problema, uso para treinar, no trabalho e sempre que necessário, a qualidade continua a mesma. Na época acho que paguei uns 100 reais. Ele as vezes entra em promoção e já peguei ele em promoção por 87 em outro momento. Não decepciona, ele também dá uma isolada no som externo e tem um encaixe maravilhoso no meu ouvido, muito difícil cair, diferente dos outros que eu já experimentei, detalhe é que eu não gostava desse fones com a borrachinha, mas esse eu gostei e deu super certo no meu ouvido. Enfim, fica a recomendação, quem tiver pesquisando, pode apostar nesse pois vale a pena e não vai decepcionar.
