Betron YSM1000 Wired in-Ear Headphones, Noise Isolating Earbuds with Powerful Bass Sound, Tangle-Free Cable and 3.5mm Jack for Phone, Laptop, Tablet

2018 August update: One full year later and still working. Nor many of my prior earbuds can say the same. Here is the original 2017 review ... These days the under $50 headphones have been getting better and better, so when i saw this well rated $40 earbud discounted to $20, I decided to take a chance. I have poor tolerance for bad earbuds and have tossed out more than a few pairs rather than let them ruin my music. So for $20, I figured it was was worth taking a chance. When I tried it, my reaction was Wow! This is good, very good. It reproduces great music that is loud and clear. In fact, it's louder than all of my other earbuds. It hit's the highs, the midrange, and some of the base . Most importantly, the singers voice are sharp and clear. Even at $40, it would be worth the money. So what does doesn't it do?. You noticed I said "some of the base." It gets enough bass for easy listening and you'll definitely know it's there, but it wont shake your head, rock your socks, or kick your boots. A few of my other headphones get more bass. However, for under $50, I have to trade off something, volume, clarity, highs, mid-range, or bass. If you want to get all of this, you'll need to buy a Bose Soundsport Pulse or another $200 earbud. (I haven't tried all of the pricey buds, but I just tried out the Soundsport Pulse this morning. I'd love to have one, but it's way outside my budget.) 2018 Update Orignal "good earbud should last at least a year. If it doesn't make the cut, I will update this rating." It's August 2018 and they are still going strong. It made the cut.

Excellent Ear Headphones Very Comfortable,Cord length, Perfect Fix,Functionality Sound Very Clear

Decent. Worth the cost. It's nice they include a pair of memory foam earbuds. To me that is a huge bonus because the other sizes they include are your typical flimsy plastic or what ever material they are. I can never seem to find a pair to fit my ear properly besides the memory foam ones, so that is greatly appreciated. I bought these to listen to asmr and music occasionally when I'm about to go to sleep. I can sleep on my side with these, but I think that's because of my pillow. I have a very soft pillow so my head kinda sinks right in. I cant say the same if you have a stiff pillow. Or maybe you have a shallow ear canal, who knows. All I can say is, they work wonderful for what i needed them for. As for sound quality .... its .... alright. These are not exactly expensive earbuds, you get what you pay for. But they are nice and heavy, and feel of good build quality. The bass is also nice and thumpy as well. All n all a decent pair of earbuds for the price. Only reason I didnt give this a 5 star is because of the cord. The cord itself strikes me as very cheap and over time will become brittle. I've owned these for a few months now and no issues. But I am also a light user. I cant say the same for someone else who might use these for exercise or are a bit tougher on them. The cord just feels of cheap material. Everything else feels nice and solid though. Once again, great product for the price. I would definitely buy again if these broke or were lost or stolen

Purchased these to use for watching movies on airplane. Very happy with them - they are comfortable, sound is good and when they fit in the ears correctly, they blocked out a lot of the airplane noise. Comes with extra ear pieces & a nice little case for traveling. Definitely worth it.

I've had these for 5 days now and I will say the physical presentation and materials are good, the sound is ok and the quality (longevity) is far too soon to tell. They look and feel great, especially at the price point. They fit my ears just fine and come with a few different sized tips. The metal construction looks very nice. I like the weight of the cable used. It doesn't look all wavy/bent when you take it out of it's packaging like some thinner cables sometimes do. The cable is also somewhat translucent so you can see the twisted wires inside which looks nice. I find the sound of the headphones to not match their visual appeal. My first impression was that they seem more efficient (louder at the same volume level) than several other in-ears that I use, but the sound is not as clear. The highs sound a bit muffled as if you are listing to music through bedsheets. It's not terrible, but I wouldn't call it good. The bass is muddy and not well defined. I think if you were to pick these up and have nothing to compare them to and/or you are not someone who tends to over scrutinize the nuances of sound in your headphones, you will probably like these just fine. I did find that after exclusively wearing these for a few days at 30-60minute intervals, they started to sound a little better. I wondered if they were truly breaking in and sounding better or just getting my ears accustomed to their sound. As soon as I put in my other headphones I confirmed that I was just getting used to the sound. They still lacked clarity and have muddy bass (to my ears). For the price, they're not bad. If you can do without the good looks and just prefer better sound (from the opinion of this reviewer) I recommend either the Panasonic RP-HJE120 or Panasonic RP-HJE125. Both are inexpensive and while they sound different from one another, I have a hard time determining which I prefer. I do have other in-ear headphones that are considerably more expensive that also sound better but it's not a fair comparison considering the difference in price. I've read other reviews with concerns for the build quality and specifically issues with the screen material coming off. I've only had mine 5 days so it's far too soon to know if mine will have the same issues or not. So far they look as good as when I took them out of their box.

These headphones are excellent, so good that when my wife tried mine on she immediately told me to order a pair for her which I just did. Now that is a good review if there ever was one. And of course the sound is wonderful and clear in every way. The materials (Metal) look and feel very strong, not like cheap plastic.

I've ordered 4 sets of these little guys, both for my own devices and as gifts to fellow music lovers. The sound is gorgeously balanced for such an inexpensive pair of earphones, and the cable is very easy to keep tangle-free. The fit was perfect out of the box for me, but there are lots of options for other ear sizes. The plug is solid and connection is snappy and confidence-inducing. They're as easy to use as any wired earbuds, and if you're not using an amp, they protect your ears really well. Couldn't recommend these enough!

04.25.25 Very good earbuds. No, they are NOT noise cancelling, and they don't state that they are. They fit the ear well, do not slip out during exercise. The cord is very durable/flexible (not stiff or rigid). The cord length is fine for my use, small sandisk mps3 player clipped onto waist band of gym shorts or gym pants. I've used a couple different models of the Betron brand earbuds and all were of great sound and quality. I still use on occasion my old (1970's) AKG headphones for listening to vinyl and these Betron earbuds are very good comparatively. gvm
