Is the sound quality better or worse than 10$ ear buds?

About the same. These are noise isolating earphones which is why I got them. They can be used around heavy equipment to keep out the sound while listening to music or books on tape (what I use them for). Ear buds are more comfortable but the heavy equipment means I would have to crank up the sound to hear the music and sometimes not even then.

If you're listening to music in a quiet noise free environment, probably not. However, if you're listening to anything else with lots of background noise - absolutely. We use ours at NASCAR events and they work great, even with a splitter pulling one channel for 2 headsets.

I bought the headphones since I preferred the earcups over the ear buds but one of them failed so I bought another plus the cord is longer than earbuds. I bought another pair, in addition, of audio technica which were more comfortable than the koss and sound better.

Never owned ear buds but the sound of these headphones is great. They are also comfortable to wear.

Fair. They don't sound bad, but you are gonna pay ALOT more to get a better sound. All matters what your using them for.

To be brutally honest, it's terrible. The bass is so tinny it hurts my ears, mid tones are ok but even in non bassy songs they still sound tinny and don't have a full sound, wouldn't recommend for music

Honesty I bought it and returned then, 10 mins after setting them up, the sound is bad, they sound flat, no bass, major distortion when turned up the slightest bit, save your money and buy a nice 2.1 system instead, you won't regret it, I returned them and got the klipsch pro media 2.1 and they are amazing for music games and movies

For what they are, I'd say they do pretty well. I listen to a lot of metal with double bass and tuned down guitars. These buds do OK. Like any small speaker though, if you turn em up too much they will distort. If I am out running though, the noise blocking from these and I don't have to turn em up too loud to get a good sound from them.

It really isn't THAT great. Its present but I would suggest getting Z11, or X12 from Turtlebeach. They are under 10$ more and they are 1. Over the ear= more comfortable and 2. have better sound canceling and sound quality. I have tried them all. X12>Z11.

Are you listening to digital or analog recording? I have only listened to digital music with these, and they have had good response. Not having ever used say a $300 pair of headphones; I don't know how they would compare. They do beat the small earbuds by far; and are not too bad to sit for extended times on the head. You will have to sit up though, these are not that comfortable reclined or lying down.

They are smaller and more comfortable than traditional buds. They do have a very nice sound quality. I like them enough to buy for gifts this year.

Noise reduction not that good. You would need to spend much more money for that quality. Try BOSE if you can.

They have decent in sound quality. Not High fidelity but you get what you pay for. On a scale from 1-10 I'd give them a 7. Oh and I fixed the issue with the earbuds falling out, started using the wrap around ear attachment so they stay in place.

I don't know. The ear buds had such terrible quality that I gave them away to my step daughter who doesn't care about their poor sound........................... R. Grey

I was using a pair of Bose ear buds. I like these way better. They sound very good you will not be disappointed.

From my experience they are noise reduction. I would not expect much more from a $10.00 headphone. They are reliable and the audio quality is fine by me.

Well, you get what you pay for and for a little over 100 bucks, they're not all that bad. They don't have a very clear quality but the volume goes up pretty high for the little thing! Ultimately, the higher the volume the less clarity. Hope this helps!

They are better/louder than the iPhone earbuds in my opinion but not by much. I use these for running because the iPhone buds just fall out.

The included ear buds sounded good to me, better than any other $20-$30 ear buds I've used. They aren't terribly sturdy though and the wires on my pair started to strip after 2 months of daily use.

Don't believe the people saying good bass. There is barely any bass at all. It definitely doesn't drown out mids or highs. These cans only sound good compared to other $10 and other cans. Don't be fooled into thinking they are better than they are. Under $20 there's a couple Koss models that sound a lot better for example, or under $25 there are several larger on ear or over ear products that sound much, much better, but being larger they aren't nearly as portable.
