DefenderShield Air Tube Stereo Wired Earbuds with Memory Foam Ear Tips – Universal Acoustic Headphones with Built-in Mic & Audio Controls - Secure Fit Wired Headphones with 3.5mm Audio

Excellent sound quality (i was quite surprised!). Granted, the sound delivery is not super high-fidelity, and unless you are accustomed to in-studio type headphones or ear buds, these perform very well. With that in mind, you absolutely must spend the time to achieve a proper fitment (or as other's have noted, they will fall out of your ears). The in-line controls are intuitive and easy to use, just be careful to not pull from your ear when adjusting them (if not using your device controls for functions). These are not anything like the conventional and EMF dangerous Apple or standard ear buds! Note to the lazy or convenience oriented users.... spend the time and follow the instructions included, or your experience will be less than favorable. Regarding physical activity usage (as opposed to static activity, such as reading or working at your desk), again, I highly recommend initial proper fitment (and they will stay inserted!), or wear something else without EMF protection, and potentially damage your brain. Edit 12/13/2025: Noticed other reviewers having issues wearing these while sleeping... what? You should never be listening to headsets while sleeping in bed (particularly with the typical wireless, or wired styles)! And wearing with a hoodie, of course there will be ergonomic complications rubbing the blue tubes, etc.) so it's not recommended to wear hoodies while using these.

The sound is fine. It's comparable to my regular headphones (I was using iPhone headphones that come with my phone). I'm mostly using these for conference calls, so don't need great quality. What I found were 2 issues. 1) The earbuds keep falling out of my ears. The tube doesn't move as fluidly as a wire and it's heavy with the metal piece it connects to, so if you move, the ear buds kept popping out of my ears. I've tried the other earbud accessories w/ the hooks, but those weren't hooking into the rook of my ear well, so I would jam the ear bud and hook as hard as I could into my ear to stay put, which was very uncomfortable. I tried the plastic hooks, but those loosely clip to the ear buds and loosely sit on my ear, and awkward to put on. They're also uncomfortable on the ear, unless you're used to that. 2) I wear hoodies a lot, and the metal joint connected to the end of the tube plus the volume control kept rubbing against the zipper of my hoodie, and I could hear all of that noise. I used the included clip to restrict the tubes from touching the zipper, but that was a delicate balance between the of wire available before the volume control and my head movement. The clip prevented the metal from rubbing on the zipper, but doesn't prevent the ear buds from falling out bc now you're limited to your movement and the tubes flare out like a stethoscope. Overall, it's more grief to use these headphones. These are my first pair of airtubes, so I'm not used to them, so as my first experience with them, they're frustrating to use. It's a bummer bc the sound is good.

Updated review 2.25.2025 I am changing my review thanks to the company's customer service. Defender Shield quickly attended to my complaint and promptly addressed it. My faulty earbuds (that gained them just one star originally as per my review below) were replaced. I really do love how they work, so I am happy to be able to use them again.. Thanks for the exceptional customer service. ------- older review----- I purchased this earbuds late February 2024 and about a month ago they started not working properly. if I am moving while plugged in it often shorts out. While on the phone, it cuts me off, or It causes Spotify to start automatically while I'm having a Whatsapp or FT conversation. I tried another headset and I don't have the same problem. These earbuds stopped working 10 months after my purchase, I cannot justify this for the price I paid. I had another earbud set (from another company) that lasted over 3 years and cost about the same. I will go back to those.

At first they seemed great. Decent packaging and it felt like a quality product. It was a bit weird getting used to using wired headphones again. Felt like I went back in time 10 years. Once the nostalgia (of running the wire underneath my shirt and into my pocket) wore off. I immediately noticed the air tubes make a horrible sound when they touch ANYTHING. Whether it was ran thru my shirt or not. The length of the air tubes makes them rub on everything. And it puts a static sound into your ear. Quite painful to deal with to be honest. The ear bud pieces are garbage and I had to try all sizes and every way of jamming them in my ear holes before ultimately resorting to the sport buds with the hooks on them. Two weeks in the right side bud completely quit on me. And the volume control on the wires never worked. Nor could it be used as a phone call as advertised. Oh, and the SOUND QUALITY ! I don’t know if the volume scale is different between wired and wireless headphones. At low volume they are quite smooth sounding. But damnit you can’t go past 1/3 volume on your phone before these things are completely BLOWN OUT. They cannot handle any bit of bass note. The sound has a very limited range of depth to it. Which gets very apparent as soon as you increase the volume. I’ve heard better sound quality from a soda can. I will say these are more ideal for walking, laying down, or light to mild activity. (if you use the provided clips to clip the air tubes from rubbing your collar) the audio quality is only really adequate for podcasts, e books, or some mellow tunes. The idea of an EMF free headphone is awesome to me. I certainly look forward to this technology to get better. But for now I have to give a 2/5 review. I had high hopes for these but now I’m past the return window stuck with 70 dollar headphones that are about the quality of what I had in 2011.

Great product and works well. Great sound!

Ne fonctionne pas Le vendeur ne veux pas reprendre

Damaged after less than 1 year, and I only used it occasionally. Also, I always stored it in the casing provided. There was totally no sound on the left tube, and overall sound quality is muffled and unclear. Unreliable product.

tolles Headset mit super Soundqualität und verschiedenen Ohrpads. Super Verpackung. Die Preis ist etwas hoch, aber das nimmt man dann gern in Kauf.

I like these headphones (always use them when on the phone) so much I bought my son a pair for this birthday (I warned him about his bluetooth ear buds and how they fry your brain)!
