Betron B25 Earphones, Noise Isolating in-Ear Wired Headphones with Strong Bass, Tangle-Free Cord, Lightweight, Carry Case and Soft Earbud Tips, Black

I use earbuds with an old iPod Shuffle when I'm cycling. I've always used Skull Candy simply because they're cheap, durable (for the most part) and easy to find at Target or Walmart. When my latest Skulls bit the dust due to overuse, sweat, etc... I decided to see what was out there besides the old standby. I purchased these Betron's on a whim. The reviews were good and they were just a bit more expensive than the Skull Candy. I just opened them and took them for a test ride... here's my experience. After opening the packaging, I noticed they offered 6 different sizes of ear buds from infant to Dumbo the elephant. I settled into a med/large set and plugged them into the ol' iPod Shuffle. First song Roseanna by Toto. The bass was insanely deep and buttery. The highs were crisp without being like chewing on tinfoil and the midrange was just under flat, which is where it's supposed to be. I was blown away! Jazz, rock, blues, etc... Solid! Standing in my kitchen, I give them a 10 out of 10. Out on the road was just as good. I knocked out 40 miles on the bike and the buds stayed sealed in my ears, the sound was great and most importantly... the wind didn't whistle in my ears during high-speed descents. I'm a happy as a bum eating a ham sandwich! A+

Initial Review: Just opened box - came with a jack cover, nice bag, and a few comfort sizes - perfect for me. Plugged them into iPhone for HD sound testing - out-performed the cheap Phillips I bought for my comparison. This model can't compare to Bose's or top end earphones - but I didn't pay or expect that. However, for the $ the range, noise isolation, comfort and general dynamic bass is impressive at this level. I highly recommend these if you're on a budget and don't mind the wires. Best in class. The only downfall I expect (I just opened them) would be durability. The connectors (at plug in and split) appear mid-heavy-duty/bulky, and the mesh chord cover also has clean plastic coating - appears highly durable, however - the plug-in is a straight-in, meaning not 90 degree corner, which is good for pockets, but tends to be less durable, because there is less material to bend/absorb movement.. we shall see. I'll update if anything changes. Impressive sound for the $!

I was skeptical at first when I purchased these, and to be honest, I think I'm leaving a bit impressed. I primarily use these at an office, and it tends to help cancel out any excess chatter in the background, and allows me to listen to my music.Sound Quality: When the subject of quality come to music, especially popular formats such as MP3's, discussions can be had. The device itself will play it's best with it's capabilities, including the digital content provided. For instance, 128 and 320 mp3 standards are different. My opinon, given the best quality of mp3 format you can with your music, these play them on a 3/5 scale. NOT THAT ITS BAD, but because with anything as low price as this, you're not experiencing the true audio quality. This is good for you're "standard" listening, or shopping on a budget, or travelling.Noise Cancellation: I use these at an office regularly, and I've found that I've not been able to hear the people sitting next to me when I wear this. Sometimes, vaguely, you can hear something, but not enough to be disturbed. There are probably better on the market, but for these at their current value, you're getting a good exchange. 4/5For working out: 3/5 The cord is a bit to long, and I find it always being an issue for when I'm running or exchanging weights from the gym equipment. If you're intending to just do a walk on a treadmill for a half a mile or two, you'll be fine, but as far as running; you'll need to be careful. I think these are mediocre, at best, for actual gym equipment. You'll need to make sure you have the right sized in-ear bud to fit you're ear snug enough for it to not jar out of place and causing an problem.Overall: The cord is a bit long, the noise cancellation the better feature, with good enough sound quality to satisfy most people. I'd say for the price you're getting these, with the included In-ear bud sizes and than some in case you lose any is a bargain. I've bought worse pairs for 5-10 dollars more, to be honest. I'd say these are a great pair for travel, work, and sometimes the gym depending on the exercise. Overall, 4/5 for the bargain and noise cancellation.

+Metal body+Small size+Very good bass+Excellent sound for the price-Trebles sounded a bit "stuffy" until "broken-in" after first 12hrs.-Replacement tips from other earbuds are a very tight fit on these.-They don't seem to muffle outside noise quite as well as other earbuds I've used, even with memory foam tips._I bought these mainly for use with my VR headset, as they required a wired set of earbuds. My initial impression was not good, but "the price was right". I shelved these for a few months until recently, after I read somewhere that some earbuds need to be "broken in" with 12 hours of playback.They do sound much better afterwards! For sure, there are better earbuds out there in the $30-$60 range, but these sound excellent for the ~$10 price point. These single 10mm drivers surprised me with how good they sounded once broken in. Really good bass and clear trebles.Nice build quality. Metal body with textures to grip for removal. They are quite small compared to other earbuds I've used. This gives them a more sleek profile that sits a little more flush in your ear. They don't seem to block outside sounds quite as well as other earbuds (even with memory foam tips), but they certainly still isolate from noise.My only real complaint is that replacement tips from other earbuds don't fit these without stretching out; the tip interface is wider than all my other earbuds. This is the only time I've encountered this issue across five different sets of earbuds, but it still works out.
