  1. Q2 202628/1001.0★4 reviews

    Buyers reported static buzzing, loose button components, and poor sound quality for the price, leading to a strong negative sentiment and a recommendation against purchase.

    • Static buzzing noise when plugged in
    • Loose button components cause clacking when cable moves
    • Sound quality does not justify full retail price
    • Overall not recommended by this reviewer
  2. Q1 202667/1003.7★3 reviews

    Buyers in Q1 2026 reported mixed experiences: one praised quality and noise isolation, another called them great cheap earbuds, but one unit failed after two weeks.

    • Earphones have great quality and block outer noise.
    • Cheap earbuds are seen as great value by some users.
    • One unit stopped working after two weeks due to sound failure.
  3. Q4 202526/1002.4★5 reviews

    Buyers report severe volume and microphone problems, cable noise, and poor build reliability. Fit is praised but audio and durability are heavily criticized.

    • Volume is extremely quiet, unusable outdoors or on flights—worse than free airline earbuds.
    • Microphone makes callers think user is underwater; nearly unusable for calls.
    • Cable noise is constant: every movement creates distracting rubbery sounds or tugs out earbuds.
    • One unit failed after two weeks (volume resetting to zero), and support refused to fix.
  4. Q3 202582/1004.7★3 reviews

    Reviewers praised comfort, sound, and noise isolation for casual use. One noted the flat cord is slightly noisy, and the built-in volume limiter is a valued safety feature.

    • Comfortable fit and secure during activities like airplane use.
    • Effective noise isolation for blocking ambient sound.
    • Sound quality decent and comparable to EarPods for casual listening.
    • Flat cord design can be audible when moving; not a major issue.
  5. Q4 202482/1004.3★4 reviews

    Buyers in Q4 2024 found these earbuds good for casual, wired use with decent sound and noise cancellation, but comfort issues (ear pain) and polarizing flat cable design were noted.

    • Sound quality is loud and clear, with effective noise cancellation.
    • Earbuds cause ear pain when worn too long for some users.
    • Flat cable design is disliked by some users, and sound quality is okay but not premium.
    • Product is simple, inexpensive, and reliable for daily use without issues.
  6. Q3 202220/1002.0★4 reviews

    Buyers report constant static/hissing noise that makes earbuds nearly unusable. Sound quality is poor even at max volume, and reliability is very low.

    • Persistent static/hissing noise in all units, even after exchange.
    • Sound is distant and quiet at max volume; underperforms.
    • Product works only 25% of the time; reliability is poor.
    • Design is nice, but functionality does not match price.
  7. Q4 201982/1004.5★45 reviews

    Buyers in Q4 2019 praise the comfort, build quality, and sound for the price, though some note fit issues and lack of track skip controls.

    • Comfortable fit and secure with multiple ear tip sizes; many find them suitable for long use.
    • Good build quality with durable, tangle-free flat cable and reinforced connectors.
    • Sound quality is decent for the price, but some report muddy bass or suppressed highs.
    • Lack of track skip/next controls frustrates some users; only volume and play/pause available.
