Review on House Marley Cancelling Headphones Microphone Headphones by Ben Rodriguez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Soft sound quality, good build quality.

The braided cable played a big part in my decision to purchase these cables. I used to use much cheaper headphones with a very rubbery cable that was very grippy so they kept pulling out of my ears due to friction. Braided cable has a lot less friction so it's not a problem. Also, braided cables are generally better because they are stronger. So I'm not worried about them breaking in the near future. Also, I seem to have oddly shaped ears, one bigger than the other. As a result, I've always had trouble keeping the earbuds in my ears, but they're great for the standard-sized gels. So that's another plus. But I'm very picky about the sound quality and in that regard they are quite disappointing even at this price point. It's very tinny, even low notes sound tinny at high volumes, which is weird. The mids and highs are difficult to hear because they are so tinny. That's perfectly acceptable to me, though, as the sound profile is almost perfectly flat, which I personally prefer. I had higher expectations for the sound quality based on all the rave reviews, but I can safely say they don't sound very good. They sound average at best. If you're looking for quality sound at a low price, I recommend looking elsewhere. However, if you're looking for a balance between quality sound and quality build, design and comfort, this might be for you. This review may seem harsh in tone, but I'm really happy with my purchase, it's just that I wasn't impressed with the sound.
