The ear buds work great and sound quality is good enough for me.
This is my second pair of this brand and style of ear buds. The first pair were purchased more than 20 years ago because I had a sickly wife and son and was spending many hours in hospital waiting rooms.They don’t block out all the ambient noise so I was still able to hear things going on around me and listen for my name being called. Of course with the volume turned up they block everything out. Certain songs like “We Will Rock You”, “Phantom of the Opera” beg to be played at high volumes and these earbuds sound good to me. They don’t break up or get raspy and background hiss isn’t noticeable. They work great for YouTube videos and podcasts because the voice clarity is quite good.The earbuds have lasted through the days of portable CD players, to digital players similar to iPods to the port on my smart phone for listening to music. The old pair still works well most of the time but was having problems related to a kitty tooth mark in the wire.I wanted the same kind of ear buds because they are most used when plugged into the headphone port of my desktop computer. It’s an old desktop and I didn’t want to spend the money on Bluetooth or have to deal with charging the buds. For my use these are simple and reliable.I used to use the ear buds while working out or walking and they tend to stay in place well.I think the sound quality of these is very good considering the cost. They seem to have a fair range and music sounds good enough for me.

Good Enough
I used to have a pair of these through a tie in with a different company. Loved them so much and they lasted through a lot of years. I cherished them. I have small ear holes and cannot wear wireless ear or even wired plugs, it has to be only via ear cover. I hate wearing heavy earphones. When over the ear came out — before jog plug design — game changer as even buds were a pain to deal with. I checked. This design should be a close match to the tie-in one I had. Absent some sparkle and upgrade materials, it’s the same. The sound seemed decent enough. Function wise, the buds seemed too large and not as flexible to turn as the ones I had. And the over ear too small. Everything just pops off frequently. Sigh. Reminds me to always buy 2-3-lifetime amounts of things that seem designed for me. Price wise, these are just fine and in the greater scheme, glad the features exist as I would be utterly out of luck.

Ear buds themselves fall apart.
I was foolish enough to buy two pairs of these. Had the same problem with both pairs. There is a rubber retention ring on the ear bud itself that won’t stay on. Once the rubber ring is lost, despite the care taken to protect them, it exposes a mess screen that makes it impossible to use without having the exposed screen scratch your ears. As of this writing these earbuds are no longer available. My guess is I’m not the first or only person to have had this problem.

Good quality sound and perfect fit.
Struggle with in ear earbuds as my ear canals are quite small. It is one more step you put these on but they work perfectly. Highly recommend.

Fabulous sound quality, safe and secure while exercising
