my this earbud headphone is poor in bass response comapared to my sony mdr g-54lp(beware mdr-g54lp and mdr g54lp is two different models there is difference of – sign) actually in experts view this type small earbuds use to give poor sound this is true with any brand and model so never buy earbud type small headphone if you want small headphone buy IN THE EAR CANAL type headphone in experts view this type in ear earphone use to give good crystal clear sound example sony mdr ex 71 / 81, shure e2c etc. if bigger headphone is ok than buy mdr-g54lp

This is ok but a little bulky if you want to take it around places, so if you move around a lot while wearing headphones don’t get these

Pros:
- Earbuds fit comfortable in ears
- Earbuds don’t have any foam or rubber covering to get lost. I always lose the foam or rubber pieces that cover the earbuds I’ve previously owned. These are just a simple plastic but are still comfortable.
- Cord is a good length. Not ridiculously long but long enough for using with my laptop.
- Sound quality is decent. Not amazing, but not bad enough to bother me.
Cons:
- Cord has to be wound up manually. This isn’t so much a con as it is a misunderstanding I had about the product. I thought it came with something that the cord winds up into for some reason. It’s just a plain cord so I have to wind it up myself, but this is pretty standard for earbuds in this price range.
Overall a good product, I would recommend it if you just want something simple.

Very pleased with these headphones. The price is right, and the in-line volume control is pleasingly slim and compact. Would definitely buy these again.

I was a little hesitant to get these and actually would have cancelled the order had Amazon not shipped it earlier than the estimated shipping date. But now that I have them I’m glad I didn’t cancel. They were the least expensive brand-name buds I could find with a volume control and the reviews were mixed, but I’m quite happy with them. The sound is good, and while some noted that the volume control didn’t have a wide range, I think the range is perfectly adequate. With the volume control on the earbuds set at the max and my player set to my normal listening level, when I then turn the volume control all the way down you can barely hear the player. Like a previous reviewer noted though, it did *not* come with a carrying case as pictured which is disappointing. But I’m giving it 4 stars just for the earbuds themselves.
