Build quality:
They have a very Chinese look and field to them- $20 price class not $100 – Think counterfeit sennhieser from ebay if you are familiar. Within two days the metal screen came off inside my ear.
SQ:
The sound quality is poor too it is very shrill and probably due to a poor impedance match at higher frequencies. The bass is non existent even with boost and it doesnt improve after “Break in”
Comfort:
Painful. The ear pieces are very cheap and thin. I used some earpieces from one of my many dead vmoda vibes and it improved. Also, I have a hard time getting them to sit without creating air pressure in my ear and being unable to hear. I have never had that problem before
MIC:
there is no clip to hold the mice in place. Nobody can hear me- Complaints every phone call. I took a clip off of one of my dead Vmodas and I still get complaints
Id look elsewhere…these are getting returned
I bought the original JBuds several years ago. I was happy with that purchase. The sound quality was decent and they were EXTREMELY comfortable. I would leave them in all day while I studied with no problem. I recently got a new iPod Touch and wanted a pair of good headphones with a microphone and I saw that JLabs made these new ones.
Right out of the package these feel quality built and solid. I am no audiophile but I think the sound quality on these is good (make sure you burn them in as recommended). I saw other reviewers complaining about no bass and sounding tinny. I found these to be well balanced with good bass response. You really have to shove these into your ears for them to sound good. The microphone seems to work well too with good quality sound.
I only have two complaints. One, the cord is a little too short for me. It works fine for my iPod but when I have it plugged into my computer it is too short. Two, I wish it had volume control like the Apple earphones. Other than that I am happy with my purchase.
Side note: I had ordered mine when it was mislabeled on Amazon to come with a carrying case. I contacted JLabs and they sent me a case of my choice. Talk about great customer service!
