Excellent Quality, Great Price, Variety of earbud sizes = added bonus
By Not so slimm shady on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2016
I defer to Hyoun Kim's review with regard specifically to the different production models and their strengths and weaknesses. This review was one of the biggest drivers in me ordering the single earbud format JLab offers, which turned out to be a great decision.My purchase of the single earbud JLabs led me to order this pair, to replace a pair of $100 Klipsch ear buds that finally wore out after about 4 years of use. While I also have a pair of pricier Andrea Electronics earbuds, which I love, I chose these over Bose and another pair of Klipsch because while I have Bose over ear headphones, their earbuds did not impress me, and the quality of the Klipsch earbuds were decent, but did not match up to the price. I also don't like knocking around with my Andrea Electronics pair, which are better for stationary use for Youtube or other videos where you can make better use of their sound filtering capabilities.I like the no frills packaging and inclusion of at least 4 different sets of earbuds to ensure a snug fit. A wire clip keeps the button and mic in an ideal spot on your chest, which proves especially beneficial when exercising. I use the single earbud variety when walking at night and the double during the day and when I want to block out external noise at home when doing chores. These block out a great deal of noise when you pick the right size, and of the selection they include, one of them should be a perfect fit (I usually have trouble with sizing, but no issue at all with these).Sound quality is on par with my Klipsch and Andrea Systems earbuds, while Bose offer more bass. I would have put in a lot of time and do a dedicated comparison of them to determine the differences, but the point is these stack up quite well to those more expensive brands.Good For:Exercising/DurabilityAudiobooksVacations if you are worried about losing your expensive pairPeople who have trouble with sizing of other earbuds/Like an "earplug" seal when using earbudsNot Good For:Obsessive AudiophilesPeople who prefer fancy packaging

Decent headphones after burn-in; sound leaks while using the white tips
By Inwester on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2013
I purchased them for $15 when a deal was on. Till now I've been using GOgroove audiOHM Ergonomic Earbuds with Interchangeable Custom Silicon Ear Pieces (4 sizes) which I had bought from Amazon for $16 bucks a year or so back. They still work and have a deep bass, but the sound clarity was missing, mids and treble were not great (still decent sound though). Also, it didn't have a microphone built in so whenever I get a call I will have to hold the phone close to me to be able to speak to the person at other end. Now I see they're at $10 bucks so if you care about bass more than clarity go for those.Now back to J6M. The first time I tried these sounded 'tinny'. Bass was completely missing and I was so disappointed. However, I could clearly feel the difference in sound quality and then I read about burn-in. I used the file on JLab's website for a few days and left the phone on shuffle overnights for another couple of days. Now they sound much better. Bass is decent enough and not overpowering. Searching all over the internet there is still no satisfactory scientific answer why burn-in works or why it's a myth. However, now the highs, mids and lows are all sound good and the sound clarity is much better, even better than the iPhone 5 earbuds. I never found the iPhone 5 Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic earbuds comfortable in my ears and they seem to slip out because of no rubber tips.I didn't like the white tips that came with it. They seem to leak more sound than the black ones. Also, the sound clarity was a little lower. Even the black tips were not to my liking and they seem to slip out easily from my ears. They were a little thin for my liking as well. I ended up using the spare black tip (medium size) that came with audioOHM earbuds. After trying 5-6 different tips I find those the best.The housing is a little small for me and I find it hard to hold and insert into the ears. I understand it's lightweight and may be convenient for others, but we're talking a few grams here or there, so I guess it doesn't really matter for me.It also comes with a vinyl pouch and that's handy for storing this in your bag. The mic/button works fine with iPhone 5 and I have to say for $15 these are worth a shot. Wait for a deal (which comes very often) and don't buy it for more than $15!Update: I've to reduce 1 star for the noise it creates while running, walking or moving around. Cord noise is actually worse than some of the cheaper earphones I have.
