🎧 XDU Pathfinder: Premium Noise Isolating Earphone with Mic, Enhanced Durability and Stereo-to-Mono Conversion Review

Very satisfied with the quality of this product. The sound is great. It is very strong and durable. I read in another review that there was an issue with the cable not straightening out after it came out of the box. It just stays folded. That's right. I solved the problem by taking my wife's hair dryer and blowing on the cord and pulling it straight out. This solved the problem. It only took 3 minutes!

Good fidelity from microphone and speaker. True stereo to mono conversion. The wire is stiff and appears to be very durable, a fair price for longer life! Overall very satisfied, however the device could benefit from a small clip to attach the cord to clothing.———————— November 2018 Cord loosens to some extent. But, oops, the pants were washed/dried. The speaker survived, but the microphone isn't very good. Every day in my pocket, I miss it. I will buy again.

Well as described the cord is reinforced and very strong. The problem is that it stays twisted. So when my phone is in my back pocket, the twists in the cord pull the receiver out. Doesn't judge. I need to slip a cord over my ear and then plug in an earphone (which puts the mic in the wrong place) or keep my phone in my front shirt pocket. But I still have to pull the cable through my ear because the weight of the cable being crushed on my chest yanks the phone out. Therefore, the usefulness of

I am very satisfied with this monopod earphone. I hate being cut off from what's going on around me with two sets of headphones. It's not safe if you ride a bike or even walk down the street. That's really good sound in a headphone. The wire is durable. And I prefer the soft part that goes in the ear instead of the hard plastic. Best of all, the adapter for my iPhone fits straight in and not at an angle like the other pair I had. I just wish it had the right connection so I didn't even need an…

I don't know why other people give negative reviews. I have only good things to say about this product. The earbud is quite heavy and sounds good for whatever you throw at it. The fact that the cable is stiff and swivels makes it ideal for use in the car as it can be quickly rolled up and stowed away. The button on the microphone part works great with my phone. By holding the button for about 3 seconds I can make voice calls, send prompts, answer calls, end calls, and it sits in a comfortable…

I work in a clothing store and company policy says I can only wear one earphone. So after months of figuring out what to do with a second earbud that can snag on things and break out. I met this bad boy. I no longer miss the parts of the songs that were in stereo. Let me tell you about the abuse I put this thing through for a year and a half, I used it 40 hours a week. I've washed it in the washing machine several times and once it's dried it's fine. I've had a bud hit a hard concrete floor…

I bought these stereo mono headphones to use with my Nintendo 3DS games console so I could play while my wife watched TV and I could still hear all 3. The other headphones I bought were advertised as having stereo mono capability, but when I tested them by searching the web for stereo channel test videos, none of the others passed the test. I only heard one of the channels. I was able to hear both channels in one pair of headphones with these XDU Pathfinder headphones, just as described! The…

Advantages: good sound. Sticks great in the ears. Comes with multiple ear tips for different sizes. Cons: Even a light touch on the headphone jack during playback will cause the music to stop. I think the connection is bad and my iPhone goes on silent when the cable is unplugged. Barely moving the cord, my phone thinks it's off and the music stops. I also find the cable too short for my taste. Update: Far End Gear contacted me to send a replacement and return my broken earbud. free for me. I…
