Compared to regular wired earbuds, these are just okay. They don't have much "oomph", either in volume or low end. However, these are designed to be worn for sleep, and at that they excel. Without a ton of competing noise, you can hear the notes much clearer. The lack of bass and flattening of the overall sound actually seems to help my brain feel less overstimulated as I try to fall asleep. These are also the first earbuds I can tolerate sleeping on my side with. As a side/ back alternating sleeper, every other pair I've tried causes immense ear pain unless I stay on my back the whole night. The "sleep headband" I tried suffered from being too warm and sliding around too easily, while blocking out no sound. These headphones, happily, have none of those problems. They provide a small amount of noise reduction and stay comfortably in place throughout the night. They transition acceptably well into daytime headphones; while the sound quality is fairly low, they're good enough for commuting and the in-line microphone has reasonably good quality for calls. As far as the lack of different-sized tips go, I don't really mind as I've found the stock size to work well even in my small ear canals. The buds are soft enough that they don't put uncomfortable pressure on my ears. The case is helpful for keeping them tucked safely away next to my bed but out of the cats' reach and free from dust. While I wouldn't recommend these for audiophiles or gym rats, these work great for people who need a little audio help getting to sleep. Read more
If you're like me, you enjoy listening to podcasts or long form videos at night, and sometimes you fall asleep with your headphones in and wake up with sore ears and a headache. These headphones eliminate all that. Designed with a low profile and small drivers, these headphones are very slim and do don't take up much space in your ears. The soft tips are small creating a good seal for cancelling out some sound while remaining very comfortable not to hurt your ears even if you fall asleep with them in. The quality of the drivers aren't that good, its very shallow with not a lot of bass or clear high ends which means music is not going to be very enjoyable but anything spoken like podcasts, lectures, talk shows, or long form YouTube videos with mostly dialogue are where these shine and is usually what I like to actually "fall asleep" too. Durability is OK, at least as good as any other headphone I've used I've been using these a lot for the last couple months and they still work just as when I had gotten them. For $10 I think that's a fair value. They're great, not as normal headphones, but for the comfort of wearing them overnight without ear-aches. Read more
I got these as a backup pair to bring on a plane for when my Bluetooth headphones run out of battery. For the price, they’ve worked pretty well. The sound quality isn’t perfect, but it’s way better than the free headphones given out on the plane. The earbuds themselves are pretty comfortable to wear, and I appreciate that the design allows me to lean on a pillow without making my ears sore. The cord length is standard, so it allows me to put my phone in my pocket even when these are plugged in, and I can still move and look around without pulling on the cord. The mic quality is also okay for the cost, and it’s a nice little extra feature for the cost. I also like the case, because it makes these even easier to pack and it prevents the cord from getting tangled up. There is no Bluetooth connection, but that makes them a good set to have on hand for when I’m having technical difficulties. For the cost, this is a good value set of earbuds and it’s been a great travel item for me. Read more
These earbuds are for a very niche use, and generally do well as advertised. You are buying these to sleep with them on comfortably, maybe even relax on a long trip, but not really as general earbuds to walk around with. The angled plug in really helps keep the plug locked in, and I wish more wired earbuds went back to this design. Volume control works just fine. The duel earbuds surprisingly help to keep sound in, and the smaller one really locks into the ear and lets you sleep well without getting irritation some of the other in ear versions give off. They were surprisingly soft, allowing me to lay on my side without it bothering me. They also stayed in place without much trouble. The main thing I want to point out to potential buyers is that the audio is gonna be hit or miss for people. The audio comes in very soft, and what I mean by that is the bass heavy audio doesn't work great. If you don't listen to bass heavy audio, then I suppose these will do you just fine. The audio quality feels like it was made to help you relax, and that range comes in clear, but if you buy these as general earbuds I feel like you will come away disappointed. There are better general earbuds out there, and I don't these work well as ones you use in every situation. Overall, for what they are marketed for, they do a good god. They are helpful relaxing earbuds, they are easy to sleep with, and are made in general just to relax with. If that is what you are looking for then these do well. Read more

These earbuds are great because they do exactly what they are supposed to do. They fit well and are small enough that they do not protrude from your ears if you are laying on your side. You can lay any way you want and they do not cause discomfort like most do. Sound quality is about average but they are well built and feel like they will last. The price is excellent and in my opinion, they do exactly what they are made for. Read more
