TOUGH TESTED TT-HF-MAR Marine Noise-Isolating Earbuds with Microphone

So how can these be so costly when other brands are cheaper?There are not many solid reviews on these, so here goes.1 - You get what you pay for. The materials are really good. I don't feel like the ends of the cables are going to pull out if I yank on them my accident. The rubber is a real silicone, not PCV coated. I don't see these fraying with use.2 - Tips, lots of tips. 2 Sets of flex foam tips and 2 sets of layered silicone tips. The Flex foam tips remind me of the disposable "squishy" types of hearing protection. I picture these doing a better job of sound insulation than the other tips included, however I also picture them getting sticky with ear wax over time. I prefer the silicone layered tips, these remind me of the design of a reusable ear plug. I prefer the silicone style since I can wash them and dry them. The centers of both designs are hollow and allow the sound from the headphones to pass through them. There is also a neoprene case to carry them with, this is nice to store spare tips. Tips feel fine and don’t bother my ears.3 - The ear "fins" do a good enough job at keeping the tips from falling out. Fairly comfortable. Get annoying with real dirt and sweat. Soft enough to trim or remove if needed. They just slip over the buds. Side note - they are marked L/R, the buds are not clearly marked - however insert marine terminology here. They are Green/Red bands on them - Port/Starboard!4 - Controls - the little control box is SWEET. It has a coated METAL clip on the backside to keep things in place. An EQ switch allows you to switch between voice calls and music. The buttons also answer a call/hang up/pause music. The up/down arrow raises and lowers volume. This is great since I hate reaching into my pocket with dirty hands to fiddle with the volume or take a call. I like the coiled cord and the 90 degree headphone jack. An extension jack is included for larger bulky cases. Switch case rotates on clip. A nice touch.5 - Warranty - These have a 5 year warranty. Yea, try that with your $10 Target headphones.So, do I like them? Yes I do. I got them for weekend yard work or loud house projects. I mow, walk, work with them in, no problems as of yet. Sound quality is decent for what they are. Chances are the drivers are cheap, its clear they spent money on the basic materials and packaging for them. They get loud, sound fine, after all you are trying to protect your hearing. Ive tried them with two iPhones the corded control work fine on those units. Again, these are somewhat expensive when you look at them VS $10 headphones, but since they are also hearing protection, and have nice extras, its worth it.NOTE: There are generally listed wrong - and do not have BlueTooth. They plug in.

This is a tough set of hearing protection/ in ear headphones. They have good sound which can be switched to enhance music or for voices in phone calls just by sliding a switch. They can take heavy use. I use them for work as they are quite good for hearing protection with the added bonus of good sounding music and phone calls. As with any in ear device you must pay attention to your music or phone sound/ volume levels otherwise you're only replacing one noise for another and will continue to damage hearing. They work as good or better than my $100.00 a pair of custom molded hearing protection with the added benefit of getting to listen to music and take phone calls. However windy or loud noise conditions effect the microphone making difficulty for the person on the other end. Would like to see this unit made in Bluetooth giving room for power cells capable of functioning for a 14-16 hr. day.3-31-2020 UpdateInsulation breaking up similarly to my multi year old set, that should not be happening, I don't know what happened and need to contact them for replacement or refund NOT happy to receive such an inferior product compared to the original.

I have been frustrated in the past with earbuds that stop transmitting on one side after a few months. I have had a set of Tough Tested for years, and they still work perfectly. I bought another set to have on hand if I ever lose these. The mic/volume control is kind of heavy, and I need to clip it to my shirt or jacket so it doesn't swing around.

Unlike the product listing says, these are not bluetooth enabled. I knew that before buying, so was not disappointed by it.The headphones fit pretty good, with multiple size tips and fin hooks, and I have not yet had them yanked out of my ears. That said, both types of tips do get a little uncomfortable after extended periods, and even more so with sweat involved.Sound is decent, but I do have issues with the volume limiting feature, and the microphone has been described to me as very muffled. This is probably because they are not designed as an Xbox live headset.The volume limiting feature is probably due to how much ambient noise these block.

Sadly Not so tough. On day one my wife wore them. The sheath on the wires broke.I repaired it wit a fob of vinyl adhesive.Although sound and comfort were very goodPretty disappointed in materials failure

I was expecting good quality headphones, but I was very disappointed. They are GREAT if you want them to just listen to music. They do cancel loud noises very well. The problem is the microphone. When I want to call someone, they cannot understand me. I can hear them perfectly fine, but they hear me very muffled. I would not buy these again.

Had purchased this brand many times in the past without a problem - this time one side stopped working 13 days after first use. Requested refund.

Good sound quality but the volume buttons don't seem to work on mine. The middle pause button does so I'm not entirely sure what the deal is.

Bluetooth Noise-Isolating Headset - Retail Packaging al leer el titulo pensé que eran audífonos Bluetooth y son con cable..

Son muy resistentes, pero lo que me hace poner solo dos estrellas es que cada ratito tiene un sonido de interferencia y eso me hace tener una mala experiencia y eso que soy fan de esta marca
