BetronYSM1000 Earphones in Ear Headphones Wired 3.5mm Jack Tangle-Free Cable Case and Noise Isolating Earbuds

Bought these as a replacement for my Sennheiser CX300IIs which gave up the ghost less than a month after the warranty expired. I was going to go with another pair of them but I really hated the asymmetrical length wires, so I decided to give these a go as they were cheaper (by £5 at time of writing).Firstly, these look really cool, way more interesting than your standard single-colour earphones that most companies provide. The main cable is see-through and has red and black wires intertwined along its length. They look premium and have a good weight to them, solid enough to feel expensive while not being too heavy as to be uncomfortable. I've actually received a few compliments and inquiries about them from friends while out and about.The packaging is great; these come in a cardboard case which is cool if you're into saving the planet but is also a billion times easier to get into than the plastic vacuum-packed affairs typical to other brands.They come with a fantastic amount of different sized ear pieces too in case the standard the default ones aren't the right size (I believe 4 extra pairs?). The default ones fitted me perfectly, however (with the Sennheisers I'd had to use the larger set that came with them), as well as a clip to attach them to your shirt and a rubber carry pouch, which I found to be a little small to fit them in properly but does the job fine.I initially found it difficult to work out which earpiece was which as while they do have 'L' and 'R' on each, it's written on the reflective shiny gold part just below the body of the earpiece which in daylight is impossible to see. Fortunately, there's also a coloured ring around each that can be used for identification as well (blue for left, red for right).Sound quality wise, these are outstanding. Perhaps it's because they fit my ears better than previous 'phones, but I found I was able to hear detail in songs at much lower volumes than before (e.g. echoes and reverb effects): excellent external noise reduction.Contrary to what other reviews have said, I did not notice a significant increase in bass presence than with Sennheisers, if anything they seem to have a better EQ mix (I listen to mostly blues and rock and similar genres, though I have tried dubstep and heavier music to check). Having used them mainly for walking to/from uni every day, I find the 'cable noise' caused by the wire bumping and rubbing across clothing to be very reduced, so much so that combined with the snug fit, I can listen to music at a volume only 3 or 4 notches above 0 (Android phone, Google Play Music app). I expect in the long run that this will be good for my hearing.Downsides? The only thing I've come across in my month or so of use is the straight connector end, I find it digs into my pocket and could get damaged more easily than a right angled jack. However, it's still a robust unit and I imagine it'll survive for plenty long enough.In summary, I would highly recommend these headphones as an affordable, high quality product that easily matches its more expensive brand name rivals. Definite buy.

I was hunting around for some new earphones as my previous pair that I had broke. The previous pair came with my phone and whilst I liked the sound a lot I thought I would go for something that had more design and a wider range of frequencies. I just happened across Betron when I was looking at other brands.I was sceptical that something billing itself as a high quality item (metal fabrication, wide range of frequencies etc) was at the price it was. If you compare to some other products it seemed cheap. I can say that they are worth the money and the reviews ring true. They are worth getting.Packaging:It is stupid but if you get an item in a nicely presented box it makes a difference. It looks like the company care about their product and name. The tray of ear buds is great as it is clearly shows the variety of tips and is nicer than trying to rummage around a plastic sealed bag trying to match up pairs. The little pouch for storing them is great and means I am not worried about them being trapped or cables being damaged.Appearance and build:The earphones look stylish. I have already had people asking who makes them as they look different and unique. The clear cable is a nice feature. The build feels robust and all the components appear to be well made and put together. The jack doesn't look like it will bend straight away. I have to be honest I haven't been rough with these headphones so not sure how they would stand up to abuse; I tend to be careful with stuff as I like it to last.Sound:I liked that these had a very wide range of frequencies on paper. I have listened to the following tracks to test them and found the range really good. They are billed as bass frequency heavy but I would say that some of the higher frequencies are perfectly clear and just as good.Groove Armada - SuntoucherDoudou Cissoko - SanuBella Hardy - 7th GrilJustice - GenesisJoe Bonamassa - Different Shades of bluePearl Jame - AliveCara Dillon - Black is the ColourAlix Perez - Solitary NativeElbow - Mirror BallThese are tracks that I listen to regularly when testing sound systems. The tracks each sounded how they should sound with no tinny hi end or over powering bass.What I found:It is worth trying all of the ear buds don't settle for the ones that are attached. I have found that my ears are different shapes and require two different sizes of ear bud. I found this improved the quality of sound and also comfort as they fitted better. Took a while to get the right set but that meant lots of listening to music and testing them out.
