One Side, Good Sound, Stereo-to-Mono Earbud Review: Great stereo-to-mono earpiece – TRRS plug works perfectly with Vocaster & Scarlett Solo, no adapter! - Exactly what I wanted for podcasting and voice-over: true stereo-to-mono (both channels summed), comfortable for long sessions, excellent isolation, and clear sound. It uses a TRRS (4-pole / three black rings) 3.5 mm plug instead of the usual 2-ring TRS. I was worried at first, but it plugs straight into both my Focusrite Vocaster and Scarlett Solo headphone outputs and works perfectly at full volume β€” no adapter, no low volume, no glitches, no issues at all. Just make sure the plug is fully seated (some cheap/recessed ¼” adapters can prevent that). Once it is, you’re good to go. Highly recommended for any podcaster or broadcaster who needs one ear free! Review: If you have Single Sided Deafness, this is the earbud for you! - This earbud has exceptional quality and sound. It is perfect for persons like myself who have Single Sided Deafness. I am deaf in my right ear and ear buds are useless to me because I cannot hear full stereo sound. This stereo to mono ear bud allows me to hear the L and R stereo sound in my one good ear. I purchased this earbud in 2022, and I have not had any problems with sound quality. In fact it has improved the quality of my TV sound. When I am up late at night watching TV, I do not wish to disturb my wife. I plug this stereo to mono earbud into my Roku remote and I hear background sounds and vocals that I never heard before with my surround sound system. I have returned to desertcart to purchase another earbud to use in my bedroom, and I thought I would leave this review. I have read some other reviews about the cord becoming kinked and tangled. Here is a tip: I used to wrap up the cord to stay better organized when I put it away in my backpack, but when I unwrapped it, it would be kinked up and never straighten out properly. So, I started just putting it loosely in my backpack, and now it has no kinks in it at all when I take it out. If you have Single Sided Deafness, this is the earbud for you. ## Features - 42 inch long nylon-reinforced TPU cord - Weighs in at 0.3 ounces (8 grams) - Includes 3 sizes of rubber ear tips, to find your best fit - Gold-plated Stereo 3.5mm plug (same as 1/8-inch size plug) - Circuitry mixes left and right stereo channels together into one earpiece ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01FECB318 | | Additional Features | Single Earphone is great for moms and nannys who want to listen to music and keep an ear open for little ones., Stereo-to-mono, Single Earphone Perfect for Running, Cycling, BMX, Snowboarding, Horseback Riding, Triathlon, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Fishing, Free Running, Motocross, Skating, Skateboarding, Slacklining, Parkour | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | Cycling, Running, Snowboarding | | Audio Driver Type | Balanced Armature Driver | | Best Sellers Rank | #37,087 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,960 in Earbud & In-Ear Headphones | | Brand | Far End Gear | | Brand Name | Far End Gear | | Built-In Media | 3 sizes of silicone ear-tips | | Cable Features | Retractable | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Devices with a 3.5mm headphone jack | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Media Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 841 Reviews | | Ear Placement | In Ear | | Earpiece Shape | Rounded Tip | | Enclosure Material | Tpu | | Form Factor | In Ear | | Frequency Range | 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz | | Headphone Folding Features | In Ear | | Headphone Jack | 3.5 mm Jack | | Headphones Ear Placement | In Ear | | Impedance | 16 Ohms | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Weight | 1.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Far End Gear | | Model Name | ECV1 | | Model Number | ECV1 | | Noise Control | Sound Isolation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Series Number | 1 | | Specific Uses For Product | Sports, Cycling, Running, BMX, Snowboarding, Horseback Riding, Triathlon, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Fishing, Free Running, Motocross, Skating, Skateboarding, Slacklining, Parkour, Monitoring Children | | Style Name | Minimalist | | Theme | Sports | | UPC | 854117003436 | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Manufacturer | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Wireless Technology | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Far End Gear - **Color:** Black - **Ear Placement:** In Ear - **Form Factor:** In Ear - **Impedance:** 16 Ohms ## Images ![Far End Gear XDU Pathfinder Single Stereo-to-Mono Noise Isolating Earphone, Reinforced Cord - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51k3XxRsebL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long is the cable?** A: Long enough to go through my shirt down to my pocket no problem.

It also comes at the highest cost. The JLabs at half the price is almost as good but the sound quality, especially the base is better here. They also seem to be well made. The apple ear phones are still the best for sound in my opinion. But sometimes I do not want both ears plugged in. ## Frequently Bought Together - Far End Gear XDU Pathfinder Single Stereo-to-Mono Noise Isolating Earphone, Reinforced Cord - JLab J6MS JBuds Stereo to Mono in-Ear Single Earbud, Style Headset with Enterprise Class Microphone, 3.5mm Headphone Jack, Black - LINHUIPAD Single Side Earphone in-Ear Mono Earbuds Disposable Headphone Low Cost Ear Buds for One Ear --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31431183-far-end-gear-xdu-pathfinder-single-stereo-to-mono-noise](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31431183-far-end-gear-xdu-pathfinder-single-stereo-to-mono-noise) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
