Review on Technica ATH EQ300M BK Ear Fit Headphones by Jessie Wright

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Really good at still working but really bad at staying together.

It's a bit confusing because all the expensive high quality headphones I've used in the past have lasted less than a year before one earbud stopped working. These earbuds, on the other hand, have lasted more than two years and are still working (June 2014 - January 2017). An amazing performance for such cheap headphones. But like other budget headphones, they're cheap. Inexpensive in physical assembly. Thin plastic clips can be easily removed and broken if you are not careful. I had to superglue them again. And the long hole along the clip doesn't help either. I also had to glue this part together. And the cords are made of brittle rubber. Say you're hanging your headphones around your neck, with each pair of headphones on each shoulder, the rubber where the two cables connect will start to tear and if it breaks, the wires inside will be exposed. I had to prevent the cord from breaking completely by wrapping a rubber band and tie clip around the broken part. , it still works and I still use it actively every day. I'm genuinely amazed that the only inexpensive headphone model I expected to buy and replace turned out to be the most durable I've ever had. Although not of high quality given its low price, it can take some damage and still work perfectly. Cons: - Fragile construction and details. Expected damage and tips: - Ear clips. If you don't mind, you can use super glue to reattach the clips. It will no longer be able to rotate, but will otherwise be ready for use again. Cable. The part that is most likely to break is the part where the two cords connect. One of them will hang and bend for a long time, and then the rubber will break, exposing the wire inside.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Almost never
