Review on Altigo Neckband Earbuds Black by Sean Purnomo

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad fit for me; Not enough customization options

I bought this from Woot! Revain website. First, they are very odd as they have power/play/volume controls on the left side. Every other one of the 15-20 sets I've bought (wired or wireless) had it on the right side. Strange. Also, I like all in-ear headphones that have a flange that pushes against the inside of the ear cup. (Cartilaginous lip above the canal). This type of design uses more than just the kidney (which enters the duct) to support itself. But I couldn't get them to fit snugly in my ears and they kept falling out. The headphone could be stiffer even when I use the big one, but the flange doesn't stay in my ear. My other headsets that work well have large flanges. There was only one flange size in this set, while the others I've bought may come in multiple sizes. Because of this, not only do they keep falling out, but I don't get the snug fit I need for the music to sound right. Generally not worth it even if it is on sale.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
