Title: Really good for price range, but there's a better option
Review: I was looking for new earphones specifically for fitness with the main usage test being running. I wanted to test across several price points to see which would be most worth the money. I've only had cheap running earphones before (though I have nicer cans that I use to listen with in other scenarios and some nice wired in ears for when I perform live). I don't really care about noise cancelling. My primary criteria were about comfort (and if it can stay in my ear while running), and the sound quality vs price (how much marginal return do I get per dollar). I ended up picking a premium pair because you can really notice how much more digital/fake the audio sounds when testing side by side, the lower down in price you go.(note: a lot of what I put were just notes I was jotting down while testing them. I try to do a more succinct summary in the first line of each option, and then it gets more rambly/random after that)In the running:Sony WF-1000XM4 $189.00 | Beats Fit Pro - $179 | Power Beats Pro - $179 | Jabra Elite 4 Active - $89 | JBL Endurance Peak 3 - $89.95 | Soundcore Sport X10 - $69.99 | JLab JBuds Air Sport - $69.88 | Golrex $29.99 | BMani T16 $39.99Here are my thoughts:Power Beats Pro - $179 (149) - My winner overallSounds great. It is not the best sound I've heard in earphones, but doesn't seem to lack anything. Has good thumpy bass, presence in the mids, and good clarity up high. Nothing to complain about the sound.Big/heavy case (doesn't matter that much, but I do take these on big hikes so smaller case would have been nicer)I think ultimately will be more comfortable for long use than the Fit pro. The stock medium tips fit fine, unlike the fit pro for some reason.Sounds essentially the exact same as the fit pro which makes senseBeats Fit Pro - $179I wanted this to be my favorite. It's light, small, has fun color options, and sounds great. But it ultimately was just not comfortable enough to leave in my ears for longer than 45 minutes. This would vary from person to person obviously.Pretty comfortable, but had to switch to the small eartips (only earbuds I had to switch from the medium/stock tips). Stays in the ears well, but I think that the whole thing being in there will get uncomfortable pushing my ears after a while. Really little case which is nice.Really great clarity, feels perfectCan't find any eq in the app, but I didn't feel the need to adjust any eq settings either, every band/frequency was very satisfying, so that's kind of nice not having to set it myselfSony WF-1000XM4 $189.00I believe this has a slightly fuller sound quality to it. Can't really pinpoint how or why, but seems to be the most superior sound quality of all of them. I thought it might be better bass but that's not it. I can't pick a part any individual component that seem superior, it just has an overall fuller soundThere just doesn't seem to be any way that these are going to stay in during a run. Would be great for any non-exercise application, but just wasn't what I was looking for. I would choose these if I were looking for just walk around town kind of earbuds.Jabra Elite 4 Active - $89Great clarity and bass out of the box. I am the kind of guy who can only really tell sound differences when a/b testing it. If I only listened to these earbuds, I would have been fully satisfied with the sound quality, the comfort, and the security. It's only because I tested it next to the premium models above that I decided not to go with this. But if this is your budget range, these are definitely the winners.Excessively comfortable, like the most comfortable of any of the earbuds (premiums included), and feel like they will stay in on a run even though they don't have any sort of little hook like the soundcore or powerbeats, or over ear hook like the others. Definitely the best ergonomics. Would take this over the JBL endurance or any other in the sub $150 price range.Soundcore Sport X10 - $69.99more satisfying for non edm music than the other options down below. Better separation for instruments and vocals.Compared against JLabs with blue tips in, the bass is more comparable. Soundcore keeps more clarity than on higher end (albeit a little tinny sounding), than JLabsBass is definitely much better than JLabs. It does feel a bit more muddy because of the heavier bass, there may have been better vocal clarity with JLabsEverything else seems fineANC is decentsmall profile is light, really comfortable and stays in the earsJLab JBuds Air Sport - $69.88bigger profile, slightly less comfortable than the Soundcore. Bass is lacking out of the box. There's better mid and high clarity on these than the soundcore.Bass improves a noticeable amount by switching to blue tips, but you lose some clarity higher upbass feels punchier in edm in these than x10These are definitely more satisfying for thumpy edm music than the x10The sound quality just feels lacking in depth, no matter which eq setting you choose.Has a connected usb charger on the case as a charger (rather than a separate chord to plug into both charger and power), which I don't think I likeJBL Endurance Peak 3 - $89.95Clear vocals and instruments in mids and highs. Slightly more clear and crisp than the soundcoreNice bass as well, (slightly worse bass than soundcore), less satisfying than the sound core on lyrical song but actually has punchier bass on edmPlenty loud (other reviews saying they don't get loud)The equalizer app gives lots of controlThis bass is also superior once equalized. So both bass and instrumental/vocals have more clarity. After messing with eq, is better than soundcore.This sounded perfectly fine until compared with higher tier, then when a/b compared it sounded a bit more fake, a bit more digital, definitely enough to notice a differenceGolrex $29.99It is okay sound, probably the best in this price range. If you just want something cheap that will give you sound, these are fine. If you care about sound quality even a little bit, it's worth it to get a better headset.There is no clarity at any frequency, just a decent amount of noise.Has an attempted cheap premium look with led interfaces.BMani T16 $39.99Sounds way below average, worse than the golrex.Really similar packaging and look to the golrex, so they're either just copying each other or made by the same people

Title: Pretty awesome headphones
Review: I bought these because I wanted something for running on a budget and it really surprise me how well they sound. The app is easy to use and it gives you an equalizer which is also easy to use. Iâm not going to say that they sound better than beats or other more expensive brands but it may be very hard to mark a real difference, the sound quality is just great. The battery life is as advertised, and also as advertise, after an intense work out you can just wash them under the faucet and they are good to go. I totally LOVE how they fit, they stay in place and I can barely feel Iâm wearing them. Only con is that they do not have sound cancelling, but they do have a mode for hearing around you, when this mode not on, I feel they do a good job even without the technology, just donât expect them to give you that real sound cancelling. In summary, if you are looking for a great pair of wireless headphones and you donât care about sound cancelling these are a great deal for the buck.

Title: Good for the price.
Review: Ok so this headphone are a love hate relationship.Pro: customisable eq Sound is good Secure in the ear Long battery lifeCons: the over the ear loop turns off the headphones if it gets to close to the off Magnetic touch button this makes it annoying as it may turn off accidentally while running with it. That may be more of the shape and size of my ear than an issue with the product because it only happens on my right ear. The hear through has some white noise to it. And the touch controls are very sensitive.Overall the headphones are worth the price and I would pick them over the beats only because I have had the beats and I had very bad experience with connectivity with the beats.My review comes from the perspective of a runner. If you are weight training the issues I mention will most likely not apply to my thoughts on the product. Case is big but all over the ear headphones have a large case is just part of the design.

Title: CANT GO WRONG WITH JBL
Review: So, I have had these EarPods for a little over 2 weeks now and let me tell cover everything for you.1. The Battery, phenomenal, tested it the first day I got it , 10 hours on the EarPods is absolutely crazy, plus 40 Hours on the case ?? Are kidding me, I charge my case once every 3 or 4 days and ALSO 0 CONNECTIVITY issues.2. These are the best Waterproof EarPods I have ever gotten, I donât know what IP68 means but it must mean itâs up there. As soon as I got them I back tested them in the shower. Fantastic, besides the fact that the water will sometimes get involved with the touch ability to pause music, itâs such a minute issue that being able to listen to music in the shower with no water issues outweighs everything else.3. Comfort? Takes Alittle getting used to the hook but itâs crazy comfortable, but the only issue Iâm having is finding the right ear bud rubber size for myself (it does come with different sizes)4. BEST VALUE FOR MONEY EARPODS.The Ambient aware works like a charm on medium to medium high volumes of music.The ability to turn ambient aware on and off with just a tap and the ability to turn on speaking mode with 2 taps makes it the easiest to use.The Stabilty of the EarPods, My connection has never been broken, the EarPods themselves are solid asf.

Review: Vi que algunos les incomoda en la oreja, pero creo depende de la oreja de cada quien...hay gente que tiene un poco rara la forma de la oreja, o muy pequeñas y seguramente les incomodarÃa, pero yo creo que tengo oreja tamaño estándar y me embonan perfectamente. toma eso en cuenta antes de comprarlos. Por lo demás son los mejores audÃfonos que pude comprar, ya que los necesito para correr y para hacer bicicleta y cumplen perfectamente: se enganchan en la oreja para no caerse aun con movimientos bruscos y continuos como correr, suenan de maravilla con bajos profundos que me encanta, son contra agua y sudor, tiene función para oÃr lo que pasa afuera o incluso para hablar con alguien y escuchar tu voz y se baja el volumen de la música. Ya solo con esos beneficios son una maravilla, vale la pena pagar ese precio ya que lo barato sale caro....yo habÃa comprado otros mas baratos de marca china y en 2 usos se descompusieron, pero con estos se nota la calidad y durabilidad....para mucho tiempo. los recomiendo amplia mente.

Review: If your buying these you ain't buying them for the sound quality..not that it's bad it's just there are better options if that the intend. If you looking for something that fits well, and looks good and doesn't break the bank at 80$ CAD these are a steal. As per usual here are the Pros and ConsPros:* last almost an entire say on earbuds* case has massive battery for portable charging ( can't listen while charging)* Earbuds well built and good quality* if you can get it for 70$ cheaper it's a steal.Cons:* The Charging / carrying case is cheaply made looks cheaply made* The tone will need EQ tuning in the appIf anything changes in 6 month I will update the review.

Review: I bought these for myself, and I loved them, mostly. They were light, easy to put in, the app is great, the sound quality was great, the whole shebang. the only issue is that I have tiny little ear holes, and even the smallest size wound up causing discomfort. I returned them, but then my husband was looking for a pair of good headphones, so I talked him into these, and he loves them so much! Great purchase (unless you have teeny tiny ear holes, of course).
