AUDIST SX-3511 - High Performance Earphones with Inline Universal Microphone and 1-Button Call - Suitable for All Apple iPhones, Samsung Mobiles, Tablets, MP3 Players, and More (Black)

These are my go-to headphones. They aren't amazing sounding, but the sound is sufficiently crisp and full for me to enjoy the classical music I listen to, even to the extent that sometimes I don't switch to better headphones once I get home.Pros:- Very affordable. Given how often my headphones (no matter the price) break, this is an absolute must.- Sound quality that is far above the level to be expected from the price category. These are not Skullcandy or some other brand that capture the market by promising a lot of bass; they reproduce sound relatively accurately and without any fanfare.- Microphone is adequate for making calls and voice controlling your cell phone.- Microphone is also located more conveniently compared to other headphone+mic combos I've tried. It sits slightly under my chin, which means less rubbing noises while there's still good sound transmission.Cons:- Only one-button mic. Means no volume control without taking your cellphone out, which can be a hassle especially in winter.- Somewhat difficult to fit. This is a general problem with in-ear phones: if you don't fit it perfectly they sound horribly, but getting them to fit and stay like that is almost impossible. I've found a configuration that works for me, but if you can't you could consider getting different tips for more expensive headphones and fitting them on the Audists.

My first review was based on a faulty set of headphones. My replacement set was much better. Thes headphones deliver a quality not usually found at this price range. The sound is clear and delivers the mid and high range but doesn't go low enough if you want deep base. Overall the sound quality is good.The customer service with this company is outstanding! I replied to an email they sent me asking how I liked the product. I explained the sound quality was not as expected. Within the same day they replied to me and told me it sounded like a faulty pair. They sent me a replacement set which arrived quickly. I definitely appreciate a company with great service!

I've tried a dozen different earbud tips, between the options included and sets I retained from other models and I just cannot find a good fit. Most of the earbuds I've owned in the past have been 9mm and call me crazy but that extra millimeter on these makes it impossible for me to find a tip that provides an adequate seal without hurting my ears. The resulting sound quality is pretty lackluster, so I don't use these very often. I guess I'll play Goldilocks with the earbud tips until I find something that feels natural.

Nice product.The real bonus here is the onboard mic, its the best mic for phone calls I've found in a budget earbud headset. The outgoing audio quality (for people hearing you) is really good, not muddy or muffled like cheaper mics.These are good enough to make or take a business call on your cell phone. Can't say the same about most headsets with mics under $75.The earbuds are pretty standard, a little more bass than you'd expect in earbuds.All in all worth the money, especially if you need a headset for phone calls.

-I am able to hear-. THAT is my review in a nutshell. I bought these to replace my apple headphone/microphone. I chose to go for the inexpensive model over the factory-made headphones. Now I am paying the price. These headphones makes music sound like a transistor radio (great for a 10 year old in 1974....not so great now). The microphone is mostly static and everyone has complained, "All I hear is static". I should have just sprung for the additional money and bought an Apple product. Don't bother buying these unless this is ALL you can afford. Save up an additional paycheck and spring for the originals.....which are not much more.

Bought these earphones for my husband and he says he loves them. Can't speak on how the microphone works as they weren't really purchased with the thought of using these for hands free calling more for an inexpensive set of earphones for him to use just for listening to music and watching videos on his phone. For the price, these are a great set of earphones. They are comfortable to wear and the sound is decent. Was not sure when ordered if they would work with my husband's Alcatel Astro Pop phone and they do just fine.

It sounds decent and doesn't have that creaking sound that wires can make. However the ear bud unit is wider than the wide (not widest) rubber ear piece. I need the small rubber thing to get a good seal in my ear canal, but when I put it on and push it into my ear canal, the large bud body prevents me from pushing it in far enough to get a good seal.. So I'm using the larger rubber ear pieces, but have to keep shoving them in to get a tight seal in order to hear properly.

I tend to misplace (lose) my headphones (often). I need them for hands-free talking on my cell phone, so I need the microphone as well. I've typically spent between $25 and $30 at retail stores. Argh! Don't know why I hadn't thought of it before, but finally I thought of Amazon.com. Wow! I got two (for home and car) for less than the price of one retail. Great quality - no complaints! (Delivered through Prime, they even arrived on a Sunday!!)
