Betron BS10 Earphones Wired Headphones in Ear Noise Isolating Earbuds with Microphone and Volume Control Powerful Bass Driven Sound, 12mm Large Drivers, Ergonomic Design

These buds are terrific. Well made, great for podcasts and music. But the real benefit is the fit. Snug and comfortable, the bids don't fall out.

I am a contractor and I spend a lot of time bidding projects, and I also do Architectural drawings. I bought these because I wanted a convenient way to answer my phone. The sound is clear, I am told my voice is clear. The cord flexible. The jack has a checkered grip to it, makes it easy to unplug. People, for Heavens sake, use the grip to unplug do not pull it by the cord. Just like you would a regular appliance plug. Bottom line, I am happy for the quality and price.

For the price you pay for these, it's hard to criticize but the sound isn't as "amazing" as some reviews suggest. I've read at least one review that suggested tinny sound with no bass but I found that bass is more than adequate (provided that you correctly fit the earphones). If I was being picky I would say that I did find was a lack of definition in the higher mids and high frequencies that leave the mix feeling like there's something missing. All equipment at this price point is forced to make compromise and I guess this is the areas where the BS10 lets itself down. I should say at this point that I also use Etymotic ER4 studio reference earphones, priced more that 20 times higher than the Betron BS10, and although I would never consciously make comparison, it's possible I'm being a little too critical given the cost?The physical design and style is impressive and the whole retail packaging promises something of higher quality than $12 should be able to deliver. Only time will tell if the earphones will stand up to the rigors of daily life chucked in bags and drawers, and jammed in and yanked out of ears.Possibly the most useful feature that attracted me to this model and brand was the low-profile in-the-ear design, which means that I can lay my head down on its side, with the earphones in, without any discomfort. This alone is worth the price of admission and has been somewhat of a holy grail in earbud design that I have never found in any other pair of earphones I have tried. It also means that I can wear them under my ski helmet for hours without any discomfort.Finally, and again due to the in-the-ear design, noise isolation is pretty good and I'll take that over complex, expensive and often ineffective noise cancellation any day.[UPDATE] After using for well over a year I can say that these earbuds have held up well, so much so that I have ordered a second pair. Very good value for the money. I doubt you could do better at this price.[UPDATE] The only problem I've had with these is that I managed to dislodge the grill when trying to clean it. I poked it back in and it seems to be staying put for now. I have now purchased 4 sets of these and all are still fully functional. I use them almost exclusively unless I'm doing something musically where sound quality is paramount.

Full bodied sound thanks to the 12mm drivers, metal construction, and other quality components. Betron has my attention and I look forward to researching their other items to see if anything else catches my eye.I listen to heavy metal, thrash, nu metal, industrial, and classic rock for the most part. For around $15, these exceeded my expectations. It's nice to have headphones that allow me to hear the bassists in songs where their tone can be lost with subpar phones. My gaming headset, over-ear Tritons, weren't expensive, but provide great frequency response and tone, whether it's in game action or music from my laptop.The bass is plentiful without being boomy or muddy. Mids are tight and vocals are clear. Highs are crisp without any hiss, unless you listen at full volume. Then, they sound a bit crap, so turn em down a bit. I clarify this below.These little buds are practically the same for about a third the price as my Tritons!They've got a mic, but no volume control, and I don't knock them for that. It would be nice to have, but they sound great and that's enough for me.If I had to mention a negative, and a very minor and obvious one at that. It would be that playing very aggressive and/or complex music at full volume produces some bottoming out and distortion. Lower the volume 15% and all is well. I again don't knock them for that, as I see that as user error and not a sign of poor quality, considering the price.In summary, for the price, they're some of the best you'll find, and that's a good thing! I'd recommend these for gifting or buying a few pairs to have in case you lose one or it gets damaged somehow.Remember, cheap does not always mean poor quality as expensive does not always equate to fine quality. It took me less than 5 mins of research to find these, after I bought a twin pack of crappy earbuds, with many high ratings(possibly fake reviews) for the same price as this single.
