Best Earbuds
I seldom take time to review anything, but I absolutely love these earbuds. I listen to music and audiobooks constantly. I keep earbuds with me at all times and go to sleep in them every night. My favorite $4.99 RCA earbuds from the dollar store were discontinued a while back. For years I've bought a pair every 3-6 months. I roll them up in my pocket and they don't last. Still, at $5, they were a miracle. It's seriously difficult to find cheap buds that sound good. When those were gone, I went through at least 5 or 6 pair in the $5-$15 price range (all with glowing reviews, I might add) that were absolute crap in the audio department. Most were very uncomfortable when sleeping on my side as well. These are different. In fact, they're the best I've ever had period. They beat those RCA's all to hell. I haven't found a better sound at anywhere near this price, and I can barely feel them on my pillow.I already mentioned the sound quality, but for you audiophiles out there, my Sony MDR-V700 DJ headphones (originally $150 and the greatest sound I've ever experienced including $300 Beats) do edge them out in terms of clarity, but only marginally. It takes a back and forth comparison on an album as complex and layered as The Sunlandic Twins or the Dark Side of the Moon to hear a remotely significant difference. The highs, mids and lows are all still incredibly crisp, properly leveled and fairly well separated.Are they durable? I don't know. They do get twisted up when I sleep sometimes, and they seems okay. I stopped carrying them in my pocket though. At $6.99, they're hardly precious or irreplaceable, but I can no longer run down to the corner and pick up another pair if they short out, so I'm a little more careful with them. Are they water resistant? Ha! No. No, they are not. I wore one of my two pair in the tub once. I was very careful not to get them wet, but they must have caught some moisture at some point, because the talk/pause button and the mic both quit working.I have mixed feelings about the "silicon gel" rubber that cover these from tips to jack. On one hand, the tips block noise better than standard buds, and they make a great seal without popping eardrums. That I absolutely love. They also clean easily and don't attract buildup in the first place, which is a must, because I'm semi-obsessive about keeping my ears clean. Unfortunately, every inch of them has this incredible and unnecessary grip. They don't tangle often (partially because of that grip,) but when they do, it's a little bit of a chore to straighten them out because the cable clings to itself. The bigger problem though is that they catch on everything else. They remind me of those sticky-hand-on-a-rubber-string toys. Obviously they're less sticky than that, because that would be gross and weird, but really, I've accidentally unplugged or ripped them out of my ears (somewhat painfully) so many times I can't count. They even create friction on glass. This also causes me to lose tips like mad! I hang them around my neck. A tip snags, and it's gone without me even noticing. If it happens outside of the house, I never see it again. I would pay an extra buck or two for a pile of spare medium tips. I'm down to one pair of originals from the three pair I bought. (One pair was for my mother, and she uses the small tips, so I took hers too.) In fact, if anyone knows where to find replacement tips in this exact material, PLEASE let me know.Even with that one con (I suppose they could use volume controls, so call it a con and a half,) I still freaking love these earbuds and will no doubt buy more when I finally trash these two pair completely.

Best headphones in their class!
UPDATE: AFter over a week of hard use they are still great! I dont know why all these people are saying they suck! They work great! .....These are just as good as expensive brands if not better, the 10mm driver sounds amazing! Soft anti-tangle wire is very nice. By far the best in their price class. My 5yr old has a hard time with earbuds falling out, but the ergonomic design on these makes them fit great in his little ears. And with the 3 sizes of inner ear bud I can change them & put them in my ears to fit great as well! Definitely buying more!

Good ear buds at quality price!
Great ear buds with good sound! The color is odd but I like them. Durable, have been using them during exercise and no problems, so far. Good bass!

Excellent price for a real QUALITY pair of earbuds!
Not only were these very affordable, they are of excellent quality. The sound is great, it’s easy to find them in the dim light of my bag, or on my nightstand (“day-glow green”...), and I found them to be very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Now, that comfort detail made it very clear to me that someone in the company’s “R & D department” did their job. And I thank you for that. I will absolutely be buying a few backup pairs. Highly recommended 😊

Crackle and cut out
I needed a backup pair of earbuds and these were a good price, fit great BUT they crackle probably every 30 seconds which is disappointing especially since I use them for running. So they will just stay a backup pair and I will hope I never need them.

I use these while watching YouTube videos and they work perfectly! Would buy again!
So far I've had these earbuds for about a month and I didn't really have high expectations however I was pleasantly surprised when I used them, the sound quality was pretty good, I don't really know how they are for listening to music, I use mine for watching YouTube videos. I haven't used the mic feature so I can't speak for that. The wires are kind of thin but again I have had no issues with them as of yet and hopefully they will last me for a good while before I need to replace them. I would say definitely worth the money!

Hit or miss
Really frustrated I don’t know if I got a broken pair or what I have not had them a month and they already only work out one ear ?.... these I’ve purchased once a year this one is just not working right. The sound quality was out of the box scream and that’s not normal for these. The value for the money was not worth it for this pair this time hopefully with new one I ordered they will work properly.

Cute and functional at a bargain price
I splurge on certain things, but not on earbuds because I tend to lose them. For me, comfort is key. These lime green earbuds are super comfortable. The default size is perfect for me, but there are smaller and bigger ones in case they don't fit properly. Sound is decent, which is great for my purpose (streaming shows and movies on my devices). I would definitely recommend.
