Urbanears - Sumpan Hooked Up Earbuds - Black (04091379), Wired

Recommended

I bought these to replace my urbanears Kransen set from around 2014. I was a little concerned about the shape of the earbud being comfortable, but they're soft and malleable, they don't hurt at all. They're not as noise-cancelling as the Kransen, but they're good for what I want, just casual listening. I honestly prefer the button placement on these than the Kransen; on these the button is more flat and easy to access while multitasking. My only complaint is that the headphones arrived with a really intense artificial scent. My assumption is that it was sitting by an air vent that had an air freshener in it to disperse the scent around the warehouse. I'm allergic to artificial scents, so I ended up putting these headphones in my linen closet for a week or so to air out. I can use them without getting a headache or sneezing now so it's all good. I don't recommend against purchasing them because of the smell, just be aware that you need to expect it.

got these as a replacement for the stock apple buds I've been using for years, and I'm definitelt impressed. They have the bass I loved the apple buds for, but with more clarity in the higher frequencies. These definitely aren't for people with small ears though, even I had a little trouble getting them to sit properly in my ears at first. They also emit a steady buzz when my phone is charging, no matter the angle. Not sure if that's something to do with how they interact with my phone, or just the buds themselves. My one final gripe is that the loop advertised for keeping your headphones tidy and out of the way is very close to the jack itself, and I worry how constant use of the loop (which requires bending the rubber near the jack quite a bit) will affect longevity. But hey, other than that these are a solid pair of earbuds. Would definitely recommend.

I'm on web conferences constantly, and like to listen to my music on the go. Between work and general use, I generally go through a pair of earbuds every few months - faster, depending on the quality of cable & mic. The past two headsets I had ordered in a similar price range ($25-50) had worse mic's and sound quality. Especially for these being an "external" earbud that sits in, rather than jams in to your ear, I was surprised by how good the sound quality is. No tangle cord seems pretty durable, and the hook design + rubber bit to wrap the cord is pretty neat. So far, I'm impressed - especially for the price. The mic is great, and has great pick up without grabbing too much background white noise (eg. wind). Recommend.

Great sound

the sound quality is okay but the cable was a bit too short for me
