I'll have to compare these headphones to my Jlab headphones to check fit but I'll compare them to the wired Beats in Ear - Compare headphones I also have it to compare the sound because it is such a popular in-ear headphone. Just touch the interface of these headphones and they work. No side pressing on the head and no shifting of the earbuds as is the case with the jlab brand. The Jlab headphones have long seemed to fit my big ole ears more comfortably. The BassPal earbuds aren't uncomfortable at first, but the little stretch nub on the back does eventually start to irritate my ears, but at this point the earbuds are either close to loading time or only twist slightly, causing the point of contact at one other is location. in my ear and his problem is solved. Battery life when I use it to listen to podcasts is over four hours. On music I listen louder and closer at 4 o'clock on the nose. I've noticed that volume is directly related to how long the battery lasts, but I didn't think how that could make sense until I first bought truly wireless headphones. They last over an hour longer than the Jlab Jbud. They also built a lot more loading time into their case, but the case is also 4x or more heavier than Jlabs. I think they are more moisture resistant than jbuds. The BassPals manual states that they cannot be submerged in water. Aside from the fact that the wireless signal doesn't penetrate water, don't expect to be able to swim with them. I wouldn't worry. wear them in or near pools/hot tubs until I plan to go underwater as they are. My wife and I find a comfortable fit and haven't been able to shake it out of our heads yet. I've had instances where they fell out when I fell asleep in them and rolled onto the pillow, but that's to be expected. Volume levels compared to Beats, BassPal headphones achieve 80% of what Beats achieve. Sound Quality: As far as sound quality goes, this is of course a subjective area. I will only compare them to Beats in Ear and Jlab Jbuds Air. I have an extensive collection of headphones and earbuds because they can all sound different and most of them color the music in one way or another. I run the equalizer. These headphones don't have the built-in EQ setting like their wireless Jbuds competitors. So for this test I used Jbuds in balanced mode and the EQ on the phone is flat. I simply connected Beats to 3.5mm headphones via a Lightning adapter. As a comparison I chose "Cannon in D Major" by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. I like the warmer sound of my music, and with the heavy bass of the beats, I like them a little more than the other two overall. This is because BassPal headphones are brighter in the mid and high frequencies. The bass is still there and the cello isn't a problem to hear, but the mids and highs are definitely boosted. They sound good and can be tamed with an equalizer, especially considering the value for money. But just by listening to Cannon over and over while writing I stopped changing headphones and the bass pals are still musical and the strings aren't harsh and your ears quickly get used to the sound and it's still on pleasure to hear them. The bass in the BassPal is clean and present, but of course it can't quite match the Beats as they are bass-heavy and partly due to Bluetooth volume limiting on in-ear headphones as far as I've tried. I haven't tried Apple AirPods so I have no idea how loud they can be, but I plan to test them, but we're talking about a headphone that costs 10 times less than AirPods Pro. So I want to try to get back into business and focus. Due to the narrowness of the BassPal headphones, you need to know how to equalize the pressure in the ear canals, otherwise the sound will be poor and the bass will not be heard. Basically just lift the top back of your ear cartilage (coil) and listen until you hear it's a bad fit or you hear outside noise getting louder. This makes the air more even, giving you a full, clear sound. But if you just stuff them in your ears under pressure, you won't get a decent sound out of these headphones. The same goes for most in-ear headphones, and the main reason people can have a decent pair of headphones but not think they have bass or bad sound is because of the poor fit. The shock absorbers aren't sealed internally, so your ear can still align even when you put them in, and it can lead people who don't know (like my wife for a number of years) to think that good headphones are useless . . So compared to JLab Jbuds they are above average. High frequencies on jlab and BassPal are boosted. Bass is on both. BassPal headphones deliver clear, undistorted bass when properly fitted. "System Checka" Bass Mekanik from the album "V 5.0" can be played without problems and all frequencies are reproduced without problems. Again, this is at full volume with no EQs. So I hope I haven't been too confusing in trying to explain the sound of these headphones because again this is subjective, what may sound musical to me may not sound to you. YMMV The build quality is good so far. The case is covered or made of soft-touch plastic, so it's not slippery and easily tries to slip out of your hands. The earphones have a rubber surface that can be easily removed and placed in the ear. I can't say either of these things about the Jlab Jbuds. Made of hard, smooth plastic, the Jlab is easy to drop and difficult to get out of the case in a hurry. These Basspal buds are also smaller than other buds and therefore less noisy in your ears than others. Are they for everyone? no But for less than $40 tax-adjusted, they're pretty darn hard to beat. So if you're looking for a headphone that lets you fast forward or rewind songs, pause or answer calls / launch Google or Siri, this might be a good choice for you. However, if I could only buy one of the two wireless devices I've mentioned here and the source I'm using didn't have an equalizer available, I'd go with another brand. Just because the headphones have three built-in EQ presets and they have a warmer quality out of the box doesn't mean they're without their downsides either.
