Betron DC950HI Earbuds with Microphone and Volume Control Noise Isolating Earphone Tips Wired in Ear Headphones Black

Good sound, value, comfort and sound isolation!

I purchased these for an MP3 player (AGPtek A20) to use instead of the uncomfortable set that came with it. The player turns off the back-light after 20 seconds or so, at which point it seems to go into a sort of "semi-sleep" mode. You can still listen but can't adjust anything without powering it back up, unless you have the inline control. So my comments here relate to how I found these earbuds work with this particular player. The volume feature works well. The pause/play will only work when the back-light is on. The "mic" feature isn't relevant in this case. (See "edit" below for next/previous feature.) The sound is better than you would expect for the price. The cord is flat, not round & fairly long- in excess of 4 feet. They're supposed to come with 3 sets of tips - one pair each of S, M, L (although mine had a fourth set inside the little carrying bag). They also have a small shirt clip, but I can't anything about it as I haven't used it. They seem well made & sturdy enough although I haven't used them during anything strenuous. I plugged them into the laptop just to experiment- none of the inline features worked there, but as this is meant to be used with a phone, that wasn't really a surprise. I'm extremely satisfied with them so far.Edited to add- the next track/previous track feature doesn't seem to work well with the AGPtek A20 player. I also plugged these into my Sony Walkman NWZ series player & none of the inline functions work. They still work as earbuds though & I'd recommend them based on the quality of the sound & the moderate price!Another thing to be aware of is they're not a good choice for sleeping in- at least not for side sleepers. Even with the smallest tips, they stick too far out of the ear canal to be comfortable. The comfort level is fine otherwise.

I purchased these Betron earbuds after a disappointing experience with a brand from another manufacturer.Initially, I wasn't certain about the Betron DC950HI earbuds. Compared to an earlier release of the headphones from the other manufacturer, those may seem to be a better quality, but the other manufacturer has since cheapened their build. After trying out another model of earbuds from Betron, I actually hope that the DC950HI will stick around.In the comparison, I'm using Pandora and alternately the Poweramp App, both on an Android tablet from the Samsung brand. This tablet has Dolby Atmos support. The Poweramp audio output is configured to bypass the Atmos support, using an alternate audio output. With the other manufacturer's earlier headphone builds, there was a consistently impressive level of audio quality available with Poweramp.I've also tested these with a OnePlus phone.I've configured Poweramp's equalizer to what I think is the best audio quality available for a certain album in comparison. For Pandora, I've configured the Android device's system equalizer to a roughly similar state of audio quality.In comparison, these headphones from Betron may seem to have a narrower range of "Ideal volume," or a volume range in which the audio quality is nearest to "Good". Beside the really uncertain level of quality in earbuds in the broader market, I'd say it's not really "Bad" though.With at least some DC950HI builds, the bass is solid and well balanced with an overall crisp kind of sound. This will hopefully not change much, over time, as the manufacturer would make any adjustment to their build process...With the Poweramp app, the audio may not seem as high-fidelity as with the earlier build from the other manufacturer, but it's consistent though.At a louder overall volume than the previous earbuds, these work out for most albums.I've updated my earlier review to reflect my present impression of these earbuds. I'd tried another model of Betron earbuds, one ending with a "BS" suffix. Those really didn't have a clear sound, in the build I purchased.Even with Betron, I'm really not certain if the latest build is as high-quality as the previous, in the DC950Hi. There may not be a lot of any more consistent options around, in an affordable price range in earbuds?I'd recommend these headphones anyway. The audio quality has its quirks and the junction between the headphone cable and the jack might be kind of weak, compared to other models. At a louder volume, with some equalizer adjustments on the listening device, and with any great amount of care to avoid tension on where the cable meets the audio jack, these work out.

If I could give these earphones 6 stars, I would. These earphones have completely exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend them. First, they have fantastic sound quality. The audio hrz spanned by these earphones are fantastic. Secondly, because the sound quality is so good and clear, I find that I can cut the volume in half of what I normally used to listen to on previous other earphones. This is great, as I don't want to damage my ear by needing to turn up the volume to have a pleasurable listening experience. I use these when I work out, in a noisy room. I don't hear the sounds of the gym, and I don't have to turn up the volume of the earphones to 'drown' out other noise. All the while, I get the great quality of the audio being played. Third, I was perhaps a little concerned that the "bass driven" description would mean that there is too much bass in the audio mix. That is definitely not the case. The mix of bass, mids and treble are great. I'm really pleased with it. Indeed, these earphones CAPTURE the low tones, but they certainly do not overwhelm or throw the mix out of balance. The best way to describe the sound quality, other than "really good", is to say it is very "full-bodied." Again, I'm super pleased with this about the earphones. Fourth, the "tangle free" feature of the cord is legitimate. I haven't had one tangling issue yet, and I've used them a lot already. It sucks fighting the cords; that isn't an issue with these earphones.In sum, I would absolutely recommend these earphones. Too boot, the price is a steal. I've never been more pleased spending $10 on a pair of earphones. Betron got it right with these!
