The box may not show the right color

They look great and I enjoyed the thank you card

My favorite headphones!

I was looking for some good new headphones and man, these hit! Or should I say, rock? While they're not noise cancelling, they are VERY comfortable to wear and I forget I have them in. The cord is very flexible and is a good length so if you do get caught on something, there's more slack than normal headphones. The color I got (blue) is very pretty and I like it a lot. These seem to be made very well. The "HiFi" is no joke. I'm not an audiophile by any means but I think that's because I had garbage headphones. I never realized how many low-quality MP3s I have in my collection... I need to go acquire some higher bitrate ones to replace the bad quality ones I have. I initially bought these to replace some other headphones that caused vibrations if the cord was moved against any surface (it's hard to explain, but I think you might know what I'm talking about - you know like if you have headphones with a really good seal on your ear, everything becomes amplified in your skull? Yeah, they did that.) and it was just uncomfortable. I like these so much, even more than my AirPod Pros, that I bought a USB-C splitter with aux so that I could use these with my phone. 100% recommend. Great price for great headphones!

Amazing Quality

Amazing headphones honestly! I went from apple headphones to these and the quality difference is insane. My new favorites

Nice earbuds!

I really like these earbuds. They are very comfortable and easy to use. The price is very good. I got the lavender and they are quite pretty.

I especially like the sound quality. I will be very happy using these.

They have a detachable cable so you can store them separately if needed. It is also very handy if the thing little cables get wrapped around other things, and you have to untangle them.

There is also a nice little zippered case.

Several eartips in black and white are included, so you can choose the size that fits you best.

One thing I especially noticed is the nice packaging. These would make a nice gift for someone.

Very nice budget earbuds

I wasn't sure what to expect from these for such a low price, but I was pleasantly surprised at the build and sound quality! I've used a wide variety of in-ear monitors when playing music live, from Shure and M-Audio to KZ.

Pros:

- overall decent sound, with respectable definition throughout the spectrum

- good build quality and looks

- detachable cables, if you want to replace/upgrade

- lightweight and comfortable

- excellent value

Cons:

- only single driver

- unnatural eq boost around 50-150hz; it doesn't necessarily sound bad, but it's not completely accurate

- cable wire might not be as thick as it appears

In a world of wireless earbuds, these stand out

First of all I’m not a sound expert

Just a person who’s familiar with top end bose beats and Apple AirPods.

In many situations over the ear studios or qc35 are not ideal due to their larger size or travel footprint

And many times AirPods are useless due to them not having a 3.5mm jack

One of those times that both miss are in run n gun videography, where you need a 3.5mm headset in order to nail audio but can’t or it would be preferable not to have a massive headset to lug around

I hate most in ear headphones as they fall out quickly or they do not fit my inner ear. These however fit perfectly! And the wrap around portion makes it comfortable and ensures it won’t fall with ease .

The cable is thick but soft and plasticy (think Christmas lights) I could see these being durable for even light gym use but I wouldn’t expect them to last more than a year but the bang for buck of 30$ and relatively good audio I’d say these are a solid purchase . 4/5 I would recommend but for their cheap plastic feel I wouldn’t say run to get them.

Good Sound Great Look

These have an interesting look a rare see through translucent pinkish glass look these buds have I have never seen anything like this in ear buds/headphones technology and manufacturing this is revolutionary! lol seriously they look great even the cord is nice looking, it came in a nice package a nice presentation the package contains a nice quality case to carry the buds in but ok how is that sound?! In the past I have complained of quality buds that are good as far as Bluetooth connectivy and features like receiving calls etc, but the sound lacked "closeness" they just would pop out of my ear just a micro of a centimeter causing them to lose bass and sound quality so I personally like my buds stuck in very securely in my ears to get that best stereo surround fidelity blast cause I crank my volume up wooh! Loud! so they must be in there tight. These here yes! They do just that and that makes them great buds so to close that review with the cool radical look of these buds together with the awesome sound they have add to that a reasonable price all that makes them a great product worth buying I recommend them lastly I liked a video they have here that shows you how to put them on I been using buds all my life trust me but I followed somewhat these directions and you know what it's better trust me please take a quick look at the videos on how to wear them its quite important. Hey thank you for allowing me to review this cool product. Love em. Cheers.

Solid performer and great value

I own two sets of KZ-ZS10 Pro in ears that I primarily use in my recording studio for tracking acoustic guitars and drums. In ears work great when paired with a pair of isolation gun muffs to completely kill sound bleed from the click track or other bleed into the microphones.

These Vibes 202 are a solid performer for having just one driver. They are a little more on the bass and midrange frequency and can get a little muddy but still sound very good and can be remedied with some EQ. They are easily powered with my iPhone and I have to turn down a couple of clicks for a comfortable listening level.

The ZS10s have five drivers and are better tuned across all frequencies but can get harsh on the high frequencies. Overall they are better for more accurate reference listening and bring out more detail in the mix.

These Vibes 202 have a round single pin connector for the cable while the ZS10s use a 2 pin cable. Replacements are both readily available.

The included case and extra ear pieces with the Vibes 202 is a nice addition.

At the time I paid $50 for the ZS10s and did not come with a case so I spend another $10. These Vibes are $30 and I think are priced very fairly for what you get.

The only negative is the box packaging suggests it comes with lightning jack and usb-c jack adapters but neither are included. Just the 3.5mm jack. Maybe these are various styles that can be purchased.

Meh, about what you’d expect for the price

Granted, I compared these to Shure SE530s and Beyerdynamic DT700X cans but comparatively they are not great. The highs and lows are nonexistent, it’s ALL midrange. Don’t get me wrong, if you want a cheap pair of over-the-ear headphones for running or working out and you don’t care if they disappear or get broken, these are a good choice. If you’re looking for high fidelity, reference headphones, look elsewhere. The cables are kind of gummy and tangle VERY easily. I would imagine they will crack and break a few years after owning them because the plastic they used for the jacketing is low quality. The nice thing is that they’re replaceable but I wouldn’t spend the money on a replacement for these. The “deep bass” is a bit of a stretch too. They sound like the midrange is pushed so far forward that’s all you can hear. I reviewed these with two devices, my ipad and iphone. My ipad has high bitrate (24/192) songs and I used a FiiO Q3 DAC with the iPad and FiiO BTR5 (wired) with my iPhone. Both of the high resolution DACs are capable of converting the high bitrate music with little to no coloring of the sound. I wanted to review these with the least processing in the way. Again, if you need a super cheap pair of in-ear headphones that you don’t care if you lose or break them, sure, pick these up. If you’re looking for really good reproduction of the music you love, move on.
