Review on SOL REPUBLIC Jax Wired 3-Button In-Ear Headphones, Apple Compatible, Tangle-Free Cable, In-Ear Noise Isolation, 4 Ear Tip Sizes, Ideal for Calls, 1111-36 Blue by Chelsea Hernandez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good sound, but a very ugly cable that sticks to everything. Broke 3 days before I received an email for verification.

I'll start by saying I usually buy much more expensive headphones so my standard is higher than these but they were ok. They were temporary so I wasn't expecting much. But they still weren't good enough. Cons: The rubber cord was really easy to snag on anything. Since it was rubber and not plastic, it stuck to almost anything. I took them out a few times because my shirt didn't catch them properly. The angular design hurts a bit in the ear. If you want a proper seal you'll have to stick it in quite a bit (since the rubber tips were single flanges they don't extend that far) and the edge will sink into your ear cartilage. Pros: In-line mic With pricier headphones, upgrading to an in-line mic is usually a lot more expensive than regular headphones, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that it's actually affordable and worth buying a better pair. corner connector. If you have a phone like mine (Moto X) and the headphone jack is on top, you usually can't put your phone in your pocket or use the charging cable while it's in your pocket (I'm not wall mounted, I have an external charger) if plugged into a regular plug it will destroy the plug. It was nice to be able to listen to music without taking the phone out of your pocket. Finally, I would like to say that I broke these headphones 3 days ago; I was riding my bike and they caught the hem of my shorts, got out, wrapped around my gear and the cable broke between the mic and the jack. These headphones were (by far) the most disappointing headphones I've ever owned. Even the Apple Ear Pods were less uncomfortable (although they didn't close at all). If you are looking for good headphones at a great price for this quality, I recommend Klipsch. You have similarly priced headphones with much better sound and far less disappointment. If you're looking for more expensive headphones but don't know where to start, I recommend a pair of Shure or more expensive Klipsch models.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Hard to say
