Symphonized Wired Earbuds with Microphone – 90% Noise Cancelling Ear buds with Mic, in Ear Headphones Wire for Computer & Phone, Earphones 3.5 mm Jack

Being a fan of the legendary Ink'd earbuds by Skullcandy, I was disappointed when they were discontinued. I had since been on a search for the best pair of cheap earbuds I could find. This is definitely the best comparison I have found. First off, I read the reviews before purchasing these. I read a lot of great reviews, and I also saw some questionable reviews. However, the terrible reviews that I saw left me impressed because they had been updated saying that the seller had dealt with the problem promptly and had been very considerate. That was a major selling point for me. If I had any problems, I knew from the history that the providers would take care of any problem without much hassle. Fortunately, I have not had any problems. If anyone sees any review about poor quality and breaking, they were not treating these correctly. After using these frequently for quite some time, I have definitely felt for durability. What I have found: - The microphone is very well built. Seams are small and hardly noticeable, making it difficult to separate and break. - The buttons are firm (but not too firm) and deliberate with movements, making it feel very sturdy and durable. - The connector is definitely interesting. It's a mix between the elbow and the straight connector. I will follow up on the review later to explain how this holds up after time. However, it is not a weak point in the build as it commonly is with headphones. Looks like it will last a while. - The black part under the earbuds themselves are very sturdy (yet somewhat flexible) pieces of plastic, creating an environment that is difficult to lose connection because of the lack of mobility, but just enough to not have too much resistance. - The cable itself is a little stiffer than the average auxiliary cable, making it feel more protected from bending and connection problems. To sum it up, these are very well-built and do not feel like they will break any time soon. Next, I will address the quality of the sound. The first thing I do with any pair of headphones or earbuds is test the sound. I test the quality and the limits of the sound. Most headphones can reach fairly high sound levels, however you probably don't ever want to because it will hurt your ears or the quality is compromised significantly. I have played these with minimal sound, and I have played with maximum sound. I have played classical music to rock to dubstep. I can say that the sound quality is not compromised by playing too low or too loud. It is just as good loud as it is low. They have a great range of sound. I have had a lot of headphones that do not have any depth. Most can go pretty loud, but it feels like they are missing something. These earbuds do not feel like they are missing anything. I honestly feel just as immersed in the music wearing these as I do when I use my Studio Beats (which is why I honestly don't use my beats much anymore.) Sounds great on the highs and sounds amazing on the lows. They do have great bass, I'll give them that. I love the fact that they can produce so much bass, but it's honestly not a feature I will use often because they can tickle the inside of your ear because of the bass. In other words, you literally can feel the bass, which is great I think. Just be careful because it can be a weird sensation if you are not prepared to have your eardrum tickled (try it, its definitely worth trying) Well-made, beautiful design, sound great, no problems so far, therefore I give them 5 stars.

These are truly impressive headphones! Opinions on these things are unavoidably subjective and depend heavily on personal tastes and listening habits, so it's probably relevant to state those of mine upfront: My enthusiasm for classical music veers dangerously close to the nutty edge, as my collection of 2,100+ CDs (about 95% classical) would attest. For decades, I have also attended (and sometimes participated in) performances of symphony orchestras, choral groups big and small, as well as chamber ensembles and individual recitals. So, even though I am not "audiophile" enough to be equipped with headphone amps, I sure know what my music should sound like. I also have a bunch of headphones for comparison listening, including -Sony XBAH1 -Sony XBA-C10IP -Marshall Mode -Brainwavz Delta -Panasonic RP-TCM125 Ergo Fit All of these were among Wirecutter.com's top picks one time or another recently, and all of them I have found pleasing in one way or another. After a few months of living with my Symphonized NRG 3.0 headphones, I come to the conclusion that, over all, I would prefer these headphones to all the others. The very first thing I noticed right away with my Symphonized NRG 3.0 pair was the exceptional efficiency of volume production. At the usual volume setting I listen with other pairs, these are considerably louder. I like to listen to music loud enough so that the full sound quality of the instruments/voices can be clearly discerned, but not so loud as to bust ear-drums. It is known that people tend to favor louder speakers/headphones during listening comparisons, so in forming my opinions I have tried my best to reduce the player's volume setting to offset its higher efficiency when I listened with the Symphonized pair. The first few recordings I listened to using the Symphonized pair happened to be string quartets. I was awe-struck by how good they sounded. It took a while before I figured out what gave the additional listening pleasure: The four instruments are presented vividly at four individual locales in the sound stage. And thankfully, this was not accomplished with edgy or shrill sound. The tones are pliant and alive and the instruments are clearly and palpably THERE! The quality of the Sony pairs listed above that I appreciate the most is their ability to render individual instruments with air around them (so to speak). But the Symponized pair presents the instruments with a steady vividness unlike anything I heard before. This effect may be a little less noticeable with other instruments or orchestral sections but still quite noticeable. I have no idea whether this has anything to do with the fact that wood rather than plastic is used for the ear-pieces, and honestly I really don't care. Sound quality is what matters to me. Like most people, I often wish headphone could produce a bit more bass than they are usually capable of. Here the Symphonized 3.0 pair also does a lot better than most other headphones. Better yet, the bass sound is musical, sounding like real low strings or timpani should, not at all boomy or boxy. It's probably not for people who prefer to hear heavy drumbeats over everything else, but it's plenty satisfying for me. I want the bass to provide firm support for the music, not be the prima donna of it all unless during a timpani or double-bass solo. On good stereo recordings, the Symphonized 3.0 pair produces the sense of an unusually wide sound stage and a fairy nice sense of depth too. It fills the whole sound stage with a warm, unforced, and very musical sound. Though occasionally I hear some hollow piano tones, I suspect that's more the faults of the recordings. All in all, I have found the Symphonized NRG 3.0 headphones a very happy purchase that makes extremely pleasurable listening, especially if your musical tastes and listening habit resemble mine. You will find their sounds warm and full. More than any other headphones I have listened to, these give a lot of vivid presence to the music. Very very impressive indeed! I could wish for clearer indications on the ear-pieces to distinguish the left from the right, but that probably amounts to ungrateful nit-picking.

Espectacular sonido. Lo mejor es que el sonido incluso más alto no se escucha en el exterior por lo que no molesta a la gente de alrededor. El microfono lo he usado en videolladas y me han dicho que se escuchaba super bien. Don ya los 2dos cascos iguales que me compro en los últimos 5 años. Me han durado muchísimo.

Belle qualité de son. Isole bien des bruits ambiants

El sonido es bueno, especialmente con los graves que son potentes y sin distorsión. Los agudos son muy limpios también, pero tal vez le falte un poco de volumen en esas frecuencias, pero en general me parece que la calidad es muy buena. Estéticamente me parece que son feos, claro que es cuestión de gustos, pero no me gusta el cable bicolor ni me entusiasma el color de la madera y me parece que tal vez son muy grandes. El cable es más largo de lo habitual y más grueso, que por un lado me parece bien porque serán más resistentes, pero por otro lado son menos flexibles y es algo más incómodo que otros que he probado.

Gibt nix auszusetzen in der Preisklasse unschlagbar Nachtrag die Kopfhörer haben nach nem halben Jahr nen Wackelkontakt der immer schlimmer wird wie immer liegt es an der form des Anschlusses welcher ja bei allen symphonized produkten gleich ist meiner Meinung nach ist das eine Fehlkonstruktion welche die Laufzeit stark verringert da muss symphonized endlich was ändern einfach ein Anschluss im 90 grad Winkel verbauen der nicht so lang ist damit auch keine große Hebelwirkung auf die Kopfhörer buchse wird was auch ein Problem dieses Anschlusses ist er kann sehr leicht die Kopfhörer buchse eines Smartphones kaputt machen

Immediately, I can tell this is a step up. Beautiful definition in the sound. Full and not harsh. It brought out new detail in Herbie Hancock Actual Proof, People Music as well as classical Messiaen Turangalila Symphony!
