Criteria Comments Rating
  • Sound quality Smooth, detailed sound for any price, pretty flat signature. Can get seriously distorted at high volumes though, and in-the-ear soundstage good
  • Design and form factor Harder to put on than other clip-ons, but very light and sturdy, albeit really ugly good
  • Comfort Hard clips can be tiresome after a while, but comfort improves if you adjust the clips' positions to better match your ear so-so
  • Noise isolation Not applicable awful!
  • Durability Any moving part will come off before anything breaks, but the mostly solid-state design seems durable good
Detailed review
For the price, I have heard the sound quality is the best there is, and though I haven't thoroughly tested that claim I can say they sound pretty fun, with good detail and solid bass and I haven't personally heard anything better for less than $80. Most importantly though, these things are light and latch onto your ear like a clamp, making them ideal for running/working out
