KLIM Fusion Earbuds with Mic Audio

First, the good. These earbuds appear to be made with good materials, and provide multiple sizes and materials in the ear-canal inserts. The wire gauge is good for the purpose and the volume is higher than most. They might last for a long time for normal use. The in-line controls seem to work just fine and the designers placed them in a good place along the wire. Good design principles seem evident. But I might not use them because of the negatives. These earbuds put so much bass on the music, voices, and even my white-noise generators that I cannot listen for long and revert to other options like my bulky over-the-ear headphones that I certainly cannot carry out of the house on my normal routine. I used the eq on my phone and dropped the bass out and raised the treble up as high as possible, and still there's too much bass. I changed the ear canal inserts to their secondary option, a kind of rubber insert that doesn't fit the ear and doesn't eliminate any outside noise. Another fail for me. It might be the right thing for others, but not for me. And as for the shape of the sound with the new inserts, I didn't notice. They're too uncomfortable. And something that I consider a "manufacturing flaw" annoys me even more. The left earbud constantly clicks and snaps, like there's noise in the line, but it's a completely mechanical noise and I can duplicate it when the set is unplugged from my phone. I think it's a loose diaphragm that's moving with the shape of my ear and clicking when it moves. Sometimes I use my earbuds for sound isolation alone; no music, no sound in them. I just use them to isolate me from the world. I cannot even do that with these earbuds because the random clicks and snaps jar me from my meditative silence, with just a swallow or a sigh. Sigh. I'm still uncertain if I will use these earbuds so I'm still debating with myself about even getting a fix or replacement. If I'm not going to ever use them because the bass overwhelms every other frequency, why do I care if they make clicking noises while they're in the box? I'm even uncertain if I will return them. They're expensive enough to make it worth my while, almost. I agree that I didn't pay what I would pay for a good set of over-the-ear cans, so I'm not complaining all that much. I have a lot to say, but my complaints must be taken within context that these earbuds sell just above the "bargain" brands. It may be emotionally easier to toss these in the back of the drawer and eventually throw them away when I move my office. Caveat Emptor. So why would I give three stars to a product about which I have so much negative to say? They are solid for the price. I keep that in mind. Many deaf millennials may want the bass. That's purely personal preference. But it's not mine. So I take one star for not meeting my expectations. I take another for the click/snap. They're nicely packaged. They have options. They are well-designed, if not ideally produced. Production on your day may have been better. It's worth a shot if you're willing to send them back if they fail your experiment. If I were to give them a score, it would be a 60. I would have hoped for an 80, at least.
