    Symphonized NRG 3.0 Earbuds in-Ear Headphones, Wood Noise-isolating Earphones with Microphone & Volume Control (Crimson Red & Hazy Gray)

    • The controls are a bit cheap feeling but acceptable and they do work on my devices
    • They seem a bit more flimsy than the ones I had
    • Wish it were a bit longer but fantastic overall!
    • I'm really excited to let these break in a bit (though they really don't need it) and do some tip tuning to tame the bass a bit to my liking
    • Cons: its smallest cups are still too big for my ear canals; the cable is so long that I have to wind it up to keep it out of the way; and the cable is a bit too stiff as it's not easy to pocket; lastly the wood earpieces are large and stick out from the ears a bit too much (it's not ergonomic).
    • I was a bit skeptical
    • They lack a bit of chestiness in male vocals but not enough to be a fault (using Stevie Ray Vaughn to check)
    • Aside from this issue, the earbuds are very good quality for the price; nice sound quality (although a bit light on the bass) on a wide range of music genres, and quite comfortable in the ears
    • They include lots of ear bud choices but swapping them takes a bit of finesse so as not to damage them.
    • I thought JBL sounded a bit clearer and had more base
    • Sound quality is good but the cords are a little thin and though they don't knot they do tangle quite a bit
    • and I can be a bit rough on them but breaking in less than a month is a new record
