great budget headset

I bought these for the in ear noise canceling properties after being disappointed with the much more expensive Etymotic headset. Compared to the latter, they have a much better base and an overall richer sound. The sound quality of the microphone is satisfactory. Fast forward controls feel trickier than the Etymotic. Cables don't coil up as neatly as Etymotic or iPhone OEM products, but that's more of an annoyance than a real problem. For the money - around $20 - I think it's very good value…

Pros
  • fingers crossed
Cons
  • update availability

Great for voice, mediocre for music

These headphones are a mixed bag. The microphone works great and I've even successfully used it with Siri while cycling. The controls are easy to use without looking. When it comes to voice calls, the sound is excellent. For music, however, they are tinny and lack range. High and low frequencies are missing and the cymbals almost sound out of tune. So they're great for phone calls, but not great for music. Update: After a longer runtime, the sound improved, especially at high frequencies. The…

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • expensive

Coss delivers 🏆. - In-ear headphones

High-quality, rich sound at an affordable price. Koss makes a premium product (I also have a PortaPro). I recommend it. They sound better than other headphones I've had for a lot of money. Rubber liners are another reason they're a winner. They kill outside noise. They are very comfortable, soft and strong enough to stay in your ear. I just returned a set of bass boosted phones from a major brand. This product just blows them away. With these Koss you get an excellent product for less than $50.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Makes me nervous

Big Advantage

For the price you can usually find ($17-25) they are very, very good value. Noise isolation works well, frequency response is good, bass is excellent. Interchangeable ear pads in 3 different sizes help you find the right fit. The mid-range headphones work well for me and are very comfortable, even when worn for long periods. The SPL (Sensitivity) on them is a mite on the low side. So if you're used to the explosive power of standard Apple buds, you'll have a hard time getting them to…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Long Term

Great product for the price!

I switched to these Skullcandy Ink'd buds. These little guys are amazing. Feel quality from the cable to the headphones. They have grooves in the nubs so they fit together perfectly when worn. They didn't come with a tote bag which wasn't in the description but I was a bit surprised Koss didn't provide one as they usually sell for $70. The sound quality is excellent, the music has depth and a bass feel without the buds vibrating like my old set. The noise cancellation works almost too well, I…

Pros
  • Finally bought it
