Review on 🎧 Audio-Technica ATH-CLR100iSBK SonicFuel In-Ear Headphones with Inline Mic & Control, Black by John Langdon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It sounds good at best. I have several Metal Base Earbuds that sound better.

I used to use Audio-Technica gear and I still have two mixers that I use for playing guitar and singing. That aside, I expected more from these headphones, but for just over $10 I think you get what you pay for. First, the input for the connector is poorly made. The wires just go into the case, they are not part of the case. Not being a kid who doesn't mind my stuff, I still get a bit scared if my clumsy personality could drop my iPod while I'm carrying it and destroy the connection to the 3/8 inch connector. As you can also see in mine in the photos, the 3/8" plug isn't at a 90 degree angle, it's straight. It doesn't bother me much. The microphone receiver is on the right side of the headphone (at least on the mine. the case is poorly assembled plastic which in 2 pieces barely sticks together. a few more months to arrive with lots of use. I bought lime green and unfortunately I got the neon yellow kit. Product looks aside it sounds at best good I have the Metal Base Earbuds they play music better with less noise and distortion when I try to pump bass through them I get noise and distortion I have to turn the bass down low I listen to a lot of EDM music and we all know That this noise is very bass heavy Very comfortable in my ears Once I put on the right size silicone pads I had no pain in my ears After putting them 8 Worn hours at a time at work while doing mindless office work, I rated them 3 stars because I know Audio-Technica's products as a musician, as a hobbyist and audiophile I'm disappointed with the few of these headphones and how cheap they are in the market Compare to Skull Candy and counterfeit trademarks at the same price. I think I can retire them asap to use with my PS4 controller as I don't see them lasting much more than 3 months max with daily use.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • unreliable
