Sephia SP3060 Wired Headphones, HD Bass Driven Audio, Lightweight Aluminum Wired in Ear Earbud Headphones, S/M/L Ear Bud Tips, Earphone Case, 3.5mm Tangle-Free Cord, No Mic

Id like to thank the Sephia customer service team. I did have issues with my original set. Before I decided what coarse of action to take, Sephia reached out to me. I didn't even reply before they sent me a replacement set - wow! They offered to replace them if I was still having issues. They also noted there is a warranty (if needed) to replace them in the future.After a few days passed, I received a replacement set. I greatly appreciate it. I was still having intermittent issues with the original set, so everything is now working out perfectly. The set works wonderfully. As I noted before, I really loved these Sephia earbuds from the get go.They have great sound quality. Powerful bass, yet also clear mids and highs without suppression. Usually I have to adjust earbuds and headphones thru an EQ - not these. Just right for me. They sound great in every device I plug them into. Right now, I have them connected to an external DAC that's hooked up to my desktop PC. No problems with power handling either. No distortion at high volumes.I listen to mostly Alt Rock and respective off shoots. Electronica, Trip Hop, Punk - all sound awesome on these Sephia earbuds. Dubstep & EDM - no worries. Sounds great! I was listening to the live recording of The Distillers @ Reading in 2004 - sounds way to good for $15 earbuds!!! (it also makes me miss those days and wish I had the money and time back then to fly from the US to England to see it in person)....Bottom line is - u feel the music with these Sephia earbuds. Enough to actually feel an emotional connection to what you're listening to.I'm so glad I ran across them on Amazon. No regrets.Also - customer service is exceptional if u have any issues.If anything occurs that would alter my review, I'll give an update.Advice to readers- buy these right now. No need to read anymore reviews.Previous update:I added one star (2 stars total) because I can get these Sephia earbuds to work properly intermittently. I'm being nicer than (probably) anyone else in this case. I really do like...no wait -love these Sephia earbuds. I had to keep trying bc it's not worth it (multiple reasons) for me to physically return them...(health issues, printer issues, inconvenience, etc)After playing around with them a bit (very gently - moving around the wires, carefully plugging and unplugging them) -still no response from the right side driver that went out. <<<Again- this is only the 2nd / 3rd day now using them>>>. Also, I can assure u, I am very gentle with all my electronic devices and accessories. Matter of fact, I embarrassingly admit I'm literally (for real) OCD about my earbuds, headphones, etc. I have 3 listening stations in my house. I have a total of 4 headphone stands and also a couple of wall hook/racks that house my assorted headphones and earbuds. I'm extremely careful with everything - to the point someone watching me handle them would think im a little over the top OCD. So - point is, I didn't hurt these earbuds.It occurred to me that maybe there's an impedance or resistance issue with these earbuds. Or maybe (for some reason) the right side driver isn't getting enough power to it...so I decided to plug them into one of my headphone amps to see what happens.They worked! Came to life like nothing happened. I tried another source (a Bluetooth transmitter/ receiver) that runs a little bit of extra power - and BOOM....still works.I once again tried several other headphones and earbuds plugged directly into my phone. No issues with all other listening devices plugged into my phone. So, these Sephia earbuds are working intermittently depending on what you plug them into. So I gave them a second star.****Obviously there's still a major problem with this particular set of earbuds.I really wish they worked properly all the time. Later, depending on if they still work, I may give more details on what I do like (pretty much everything).I've read a bunch of low ranking reviews and many of them are completely mistaken or even wrong. I say very confidently, that people who think they sound tinny, have no bass, or sound way off -;they aren't getting a good seal. Even folks that "know what their doing" can have a bad fit with their earbuds and not realize it. I've had it happen to me. I kept getting differing sound results (unfavorable) with a particular pair of earbuds that I was 100% certain I had fit properly. However, after spending a lot of time changing out ear tips (that both came with the set and other extra ear tips i had layn around). In that case (again - not these Sephia's but a different pair) I ended up using an extra pair of Spinfit 360 ear tips I had. It was a world of difference and those earbuds sounded as great as the reviews in that particular case.So a lot of these bad reviews here are likely unwarranted. Of coarse, the ones that have drivers going out (like this one ) are valid.I did see a ridiculous one star review where the person absolutely loved earbuds (like me) but gave it one star bc they only lasted a year and a half. Yes - a product such as this should last longer (even being very inexpensive) - but only one star when the person loved them...a year and a half isn't great, but it's not the next day like mine ....or several months like others. I would (maybe) take off one star <max> in that case, but my gosh - for a price that's usually around $15 for these, I certainly wouldnt complain much if they did a great job for that long. Especially if I really liked them. I would say with certainty that $15 is worth it ever year and a half if they did a great job and I really liked them.Anyway, even with my not-so-good situation with these, I want to be at least fair when reviewing this product.If anything changes, I will come back to add comments. I am still very disappointed btw :(Original comments:Up until the 2nd day of listening to these Sephia earbuds, I truly loved them. Great audio. Nice balance with deep hardcore bass. Mids and treble are nicely done with detail and no harshness. Matter of fact, this is one of the very few listening devices that I didn't need to change my EQ settings (or at least very little tweeks in some instances...very little). Plenty of ear tips to choose from. Comfortable to wear. The fit and finish is superb. Super nice in every possible way. I was actually thinking about much I love listening to music with these earbuds when the right driver went out for no reason. I didn't everything to make sure it wasn't a connection issue. I also plugged in other headphones into my phone to see if it was a phone issue. It wasn't. Just these Sephia 3060 earbuds don't work. Huge shame. Massively disappointed. Because of the trouble and inconvenience of returning them, it's not really worth it for me. My printer isn't working right right either, so printing off a label would be a hassle. Driving all the way to a UPS store isn't convenient either...not for something this inexpensive. I got them for $13. I would be a steal if they stayed working for more than a day. Now it's just a waste of money. I had these on my shopping list in Amazon for a long time - but since I have several other earbuds and headphones, I never bought these. I was a little nervous getting them because they are cheap and a name I've never heard of of. Sometimes I'm lucky with random brands and other times I've gotten burned...I guess I'll chalk this up as a burn. I will contact the seller, but I'm not confident that anything will be resolved. :(

Nice earbuds. I've been using a pair that came with my MP3 player, but these are louder with deeper base. The tips are comfortable in my ears. Just what I was hoping for.

Got this set for work because I needed to replace the ones I was using. The steel color appealed to me right away, as did the price. I wasn't expecting a lot of them because I mostly listen to audiobooks online, 24/7 comedy on iheart, classical music and concerts on youtube while I work. Plus I'm no audio expert and can't wax expertly on the technicalities of all things electronic-related. Those reviews are kinda difficult to read, anyway. So I really like these. As you can see from the pics, they come with lots of ear tips. Some are silicone some are foam rubber-like. I especially like that there was a red pair because I could use one to quickly distinguish between L and R. With my previous set, I took a little piece of washi tape from my daughter's craft items to wrap around one of the ear bud wires to distinguish them. I didn't recall a little clip would come with the set so I was surprised to find it. All the tips were in a ziplock baggie and the clip was with them. There's also a little pouch but I won't need that. These will remain connected to my computer at work. I do like the set came in a box lined with foam to hold the buds and connector in place. By the way, the connector is brass so that's good. I don't know why that's good specifically, but I just seem to think that should be better. I'm sure an audio expert could tell you about it or tell you I'm wrong and stupid. As for the wires, they don't seem to twirl, tangle or kink so that's good. and the joint where they separate to each ear has pretty good cover to protect them and keep the joint immobile (is that a word?). Anyway, for the price, they're pretty darn good and actually look pricier. I'm pretty pleased with these and will order another set for when my daughter's earbuds stop working or get lost. Oh, and yes, the sound quality is good.UPDATE: ok so the foam rubber ear tips aren't very good. They're comfortable but they really have nothing that can make them stay on the earbuds. There have been several times where I have to remove the earbuds only to discover the tip is still in my ear. They're not so small that they'll fall into the ear, but it's still pretty unexpected and annoying. Going to have to switch to the silicone tips. I'm going to miss having one a different color to distinguish the left from the right quickly but, oh well.
