Review on 🎧 Symphonized NRG X Wood Earbuds: Wired with Mic, Powerful In-Ear Headphones for Computer, Laptop, and Android Cell Phone, White Earphones with Booming Bass by Katrina Wright

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good sound, bad handling

The sound quality of these headphones is pretty good and they give you enough advice to easily pick a set that you feel comfortable wearing. Unfortunately, the experience is spoiled by the cheapest built-in controls I've ever used. They're poorly constructed (with small bulges that come close to compression zones), but the biggest problem is that they rarely work properly (or not at all). The 'volume up' button on my pair randomly switches between 'up' and 'down' so often that you can usually only oscillate between two levels. The "Volume Down" button toggles between "Volume Down" and "Do nothing". The play/pause button works intermittently and not well enough to reliably use forward/backward. And then he mostly works – often just doing nothing. Symphonized has to spend the extra penny and get a mockup of Apple's built-in controls. They would have had a great product back then, but with terrible management I can't recommend them.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Volume
