E171 - AUX 3.5mm Wired Earbuds with Microphone & in-Line Volume Control, Compatible with Traditional 3.5mm AUX Phones Corded Headphones with Ear Hook for Running & Sports, Black

UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am updating this review that I had initially submitted. Approximately 8 months after I bought these (Sep. 2023), the right earbud stopped working all the sudden. I could jiggle and hold the volume control and the sound would come back, but that was not an option. Therefore, I contacted Avantree Support and let them know what happened. They responded by email within 24 hours (other responses for the Support Incident were even quicker than that), and indicated they would send me a new set at no charge as they were still under warranty and provided clear instructions on how to order the new ones. The new ones arrived yesterday, 05/28/24 and they work like a charm. I am still very satisfied with the earbuds, and the professional customer service provided by Avantree. I still feel these are a very good value for the price, given the way they handled replacing the original defective set. ORIGINAL: I have had these Avantree E171 - Sports Earbuds Wired with Microphone for about 3 weeks now and I mainly use these on the treadmill when I run. I have found these to be more than adequate for that purpose. I previously bought Koss $6 headphones for the same purpose but I found those didn't last long enough before one of the earpieces would just go dead. With the Avantree, I can see that for the price, they are a little better made and the wiring is a little stronger. They don't seem flimsy at all, and the earbuds themselves and the portion that fits on your ears seem to be sturdy. They fit on my ears nicely enough with the loops and they do not bother me with or without glasses. They come with the middle size eartips attached, but I did find that when I run on the treadmill, they seemed to jump around a little, so I put on the larger ones. (The earbuds come with 3 sizes of eartips). The eartips are a little hard to get off and get the new ones on but you just need to grab the main part of the earbud and grab the base of the eartip and twist and pull a little to take it off, then work the new one on to the stem by working the opening of the eartip on the stem and pushing down and twisting a little. I have dexterity issues with my hands and I still got them on and off in about a minute. As far as the sound, these are not bass heavy at all, but that is fine (especially for the price) as the music I listen to doesn't have much bass (such as with rap and some rock), but I found there is enough bass where needed, and they provide a nice rich, melodic sound without being "tinny" at all. In addition, although they do not have built-in noise cancelling functionality, I find that with the larger eartips when I am on the treadmill in our community fitness room, I do not hear the lady that babbles on loudly and continuously :). Thank You Avantree! I have not tried these with a cell phone, so I can't speak to using with that. But, I have tried these on an iPod shuffle, an iPod touch and an iPad. The product listing here under "Before You Buy, Please Note That..." notes: "The built-in volume control does not work on PC, laptop, or iOS MP3 players, and the volume up button does not work on the Pixel 3A and Galaxy A9, S10, and Note 9 (it'll activate Google Assistant instead)." I will verify the in-cord volume control and the pause button does not work on the iPod shuffle, but I found they DO work on the iPod Touch and my iPad. Seems to be a bit of a bonus. Overall, I think they are worth the price and provide a set of nice sounding wired earbuds.

These are fantastic! I don't usually write reviews, but I was so pleased with these i ordered a backup pair. I use them with a Comtek coaching system which I think has a universal connection. The earpieces are very comfortable and stays secure when I'm riding my horse so I think they'd be good for athletic endeavors in general. They don't pinch or squeeze or get loose, they just seem well designed. Good sound quality also.

These lasted just over a year before the connection started failing. I use these mainly for phone calls and audio books. The sound quality is good but the microphone is not the greatest. I sometimes am told that my voice doesn't come through very loud. To be fair, i normally only have the right ear bud in my ear and allow the other to dangle. The left ear bud is failing at the point where it's bent while dangling. The right side is still in mostly good working condition. There are three buttons connected to the right ear bud cord. The edge buttons control the volume and the middle I use to pick up and end calls. They work well. My ear canals are on the smaller side so I use the smallest ear inserts provided. The buds hook over the ears so they stay in place pretty well and don't require adjusting for hours. But after a few hours, they will sometimes hurt and I'll have to spin them to readjust to a slightly different position. All in all, these are decent wired ear buds especially for the price. Just wish they lasted longer than a year.

Good quality for the average headphone, accidentally ran them through the wash and they stopped working after that so I don't recommend that, otherwise pretty decent and mostly comfortable.

The sound quality is pretty great. I trust these to be exactly what I want. They do have a tendency for one ear to stop working after a while and the ear hooks fall off even sooner than that, but i still like them enough to re order. Even with only one ear they still work well. This is my third pair in about 6 years; 2 years per pair (with maybe a year and a half being with only one side) is worth it for me.

It hasn't been long so if this should change I will update this review but so far these are fantastic. Especially for the price I paid for them. The sound isn't amazing but it is still very good. They are surprisingly good at noise canceling which I wasn't expecting and they stay in just fine when I run with them. They aren't incredibly snug but I don't find myself constantly adjusting them like I have with many other head phones. I was really just looking for cheap headphones I could run and be active with and these fit the bill. Definitely recommend. Edit: I’ve had these headphones for about 10 months now. I’ve used them weekly for workouts so I’d say the use was pretty rigorous but not crazy. The headphones have begun to malfunction in a bunch of different ways. First, the microphone for phone calls and whatnot stopped working within probably a month or two of purchase. Not a big deal because I don’t use these to make calls or anything so that was fine. But recently, the headphones only work if the cord is in a very specific position. It is very finnicky and frustrating. The headphones also have a very weird issue where the volume will turn down randomly on my phone over and over. It’s not the physical volume control on the headphones either, it’s somehow changing the volume on my phone’s OS. This only happens when these specific headphones are plugged it. It also randomly touches certain spots on the screen whenever the headphones are plugged in which is strange but an issue I’ve (strangely enough) come across before and not a huge issue as the screen is off 99% of the time I use the headphones anyway but still a bit annoying. Between all of these issues, these headphones are sadly just about useless now. While I would still probably recommend these headphones as the price is right and they worked great for a while. I’m still disappointed that they didn’t last at least a year. So I would say that these are a pretty decent pair of headphones with a great price but maybe look elsewhere for a more durable solution to your audio needs.

I purchased these for when I gave birth I wanted something that wouldn’t run out of battery and that stayed in my ears better. They did the job. I connected them to my phone using a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter. Great for the price.

Works well. Audio and voice clear.

fit over my ears nicely, I do have small ears though. Comfortable, great sound, so happy to have these for sports.

Excelente sonido, buen agarre

Die Lieferung erfolgte schnell und problemlos, das Paket wurde zuverlässig zugestellt und war gut verpackt. Die Kopfhörer selbst sind wirklich top! Der Klang ist richtig gut – klar, kräftig und mit sattem Bass. Auch bei höherer Lautstärke bleibt der Sound sauber und angenehm. Sie sitzen bequem am Ohr und eignen sich super für Sport oder unterwegs. Insgesamt ein hochwertiges Produkt mit einem sehr guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Ich bin rundum zufrieden und würde sie definitiv weiterempfehlen 👍🏼
