Decent pair of earphones for the short time you'll get to use them
927495
I originally bought a set of these earphones last summer (summer of 2011).  After the initial burn in period, I thought the sound quality was pretty good for a $30 set of earphones.  Upon opening the box, the quality seemed very good, with solid aluminum construction of the microphone and inline control button in addition to the aluminum construction of the ear buds themselves with a wide variety of silicone ear buds.  Despite the wide variety of sizes of the ear buds, I couldn't find any of them to remain in place in my ear.  I think this may have to do with the fact that the speaker housing, made of aluminum combined with the thicker, sturdy wires, kept trying to pull them out. I found myself always having to adjust them to fit, sometimes having to angle them at a weird angle just to keep them in, resulting in an uncomfortable experience. Additionally, it's very difficult to talk and exercise in these as every time you bump the cord against your body or scratch as the microphone or inline controls, there is a loud echo in your ear.

But like the title of this review states, most everything is good until about 6 months of use.  In September of 2011, one speaker decided to just stop working.  JLab is very good with their warranty process.  They shipped me a new set out for no charge.  They were good at communicating status and quick to ship a new order out.  Upon opening the new set, I used them regularly for about 5 months and again, one of the speakers has stopped working.  I have sent another email to JLab explaining what happened but this time, requesting a refund.  I'm not sure I want to have a third set of these same earbuds since the exact same problem has happened to two previous sets.  I would spend a little more to get a higher quality product.  I have yet to hear back from them regarding a refund but if anything changes, I'll be sure to update this review.

These earphones don't have as much bass as I had hoped and they are a bit quieter than other earphones I've had, but I did purchase these when they were on sale for $40 and I think that's what they are worth. If you want something cheaper (around $40), I'd say buy the Sol earphones. After about a month or two, these did break when I tried to replace the memory foam earbud, but Brainwavz has a really good costumer service team and a 24 month warranty, and I emded up getting a new replacement that arrived very early. What I like overall is the build of the earphones and the accessories that come with it. The sound quality could be improved, but it's not bad at all.

This is a revised review. I am using these with my LG G4.
PROS: These are nice budget-friendly phones. Decent sound, and comfortable fit (once you remember which one is left and which one is right, ha!). The battery life is OK (few hours of music). The pairing is easy and fast.
CONS; When they tell  you that the battery is low  - they mean its REALLY low and you have about 5 - 10 seconds to plug them in before they turn off. But I suppose its a inherent issue with such small form headphones.
I also noticed that wearing them while in the car can get tricky: the safety belt keeps pulling left phone with it when leaving the car (it gets tangled by th rubber loop).
The multifunctional button also requires some getting used to due to its funny shape (that blue claw-shaped element you see on one of the headphones IS an actual button).
Please be aware - the company's website does not exist and the customer service is also non-existent. So you are on your own.
IMPORTANT: If you accidentally push the wrong button, they might switch to Chinese language. To switch back you need to turn them on, and press VOLUME+ and VOLUME- buttons simultaneously.
Overall, I must say this is a very savvy buy and is pretty durable so far.

These are pretty nice headphones, and offer respectable sound for the price. However, there are a few drawbacks. My biggest complaint is that  the audio takes about half a second to get to the headphones. It's quite frustrating when watching video as the subjects lips get out of sync with their words. It has decent battery life though; they're quite nice when listening to music/doing anything that doesn't require audio and video to be synced.

These earphones have fairly decent sound quality.  Bass intensity isn't quite as strong as I expected when listening to music, but it's not horrible.  The three different sized ear buds allowed me to pick a size that comfortably and tightly fit in my ears.

The built-in microphone is what really makes this product stand out.  The sound quality of the microphone is excellent.  One of my friends said that I sounded much clearer than I usually do when calling from my home phone with this product, so I had him call me while he was using this product so I can hear what it sounded like and I was impressed at the sound clarity.

The earphones also come with a small plastic carrying case, which I don't have much hope for lasting too much longer.  The plastic is pretty thin, and the lid is attached with a very flimsy piece of plastic that will no doubt break soon, so don't count on the carrying case lasting more than a few months at best.

All-in-all, a decent quality product at a fair price point.

The build quality on these is decent. The earbuds seem to be  made of some cheap industrial plastic and feel very light in your hand. It has a L-shape jack which is great but the jack itself is really short.
The sound quality is a step up from standard apple earphones but that may just be because of the in ear design. There is a faint white noise when there is no music playing, and it can be heard sometimes when music is playing. The bass on these headphones great, it has the thump that you want in bass songs, but mids and highs suffer just a little bit because of this.

If you are looking for cheap replacement earbuds than these are just that.

I highly recommend A4TECH SecureFit Metallic Super Bass Earphone MK-650 For iPod (Black)
they are cheaper than these and are far superior in every aspect to these brainwavs.

Have been using these for a couple of months and mainly when I travel or am out and about.  I can't say that the sound is audiophile quality, but it is pretty decent and not having a cord attached to the device (ipad, etc).  Also,it has about 4-5 hour battery life which is pretty good.

It's fairly comfortable to wear, though everyone's ears are going to be different.

The sound quality is decent, they are comfortable and they do not tangle, they are also good looking. Overall, for the price, they feel to be very decent quality. The microphone also sounds just fine.
Now, on the bad side of them, they only lasted about 5 months of very light use, mostly walking between classes and listening to music on the car. I did keep them in my pocket quite a bit. The cable at the base of the connecting plug started to short and the left earbud went bad, which is honestly a shame, given that I've had headphones that were cheaper and sounded perhaps not as good but decent enough, that lasted significantly longer, with much heavier use might I add.
In all, I can't recommend this if you are going to give them even moderate use, but if you just want a cheap decent sounding set of earbuds to keep around your car or home then they might be just fine, just to expect them to last much at all.

The buds stay in my ears well, sound is decent for the price.  The cable feels cheap as well as the plug connection.  So far so good, but I don't anticipate these lasting long.  I go through a lot of headphones, hence I don't spend a lot.  There are better offerings to be found in this price range.

This is my second pair of bluetooth headphones I've owned, the first being&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/SoundPEATS/dp/B00STP86HC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">SoundPEATS</a>&nbsp;so much of the review is a comparison of that. I received these at a discount in exchange for an honest review.

Pros:
-Bluetooth functions appropriately
-Microphone picks up speech well enough for the talk-to-text function on my phone to work
-Battery life lasts over 5 hours of continuous listening (tested)

Cons:
-Feel cheap. Compared with my other Bluetooth headphones these feel like the knockoff version. They're lighter duty and have thinner plastic (think dollar store electronics feel)
-Micro USB port is exposed and in a weird location on the topside of the right headphone (when in your ear) so I doubt its sweat proof
-rubber earbuds are not flanged on the inner diameter, so they tend to slide off the headphones
-rubber earbuds are a stiffer rubber than other earbuds, so to me, they're uncomfortable. Wound up replacing them with some old skullcandy ones I had
-doesn't always automatically connect to phone when turned on.

All in all, if you can get these at a discount, then they make a decent pair of cheap headphones you don't really need to worry about, but if you're looking for a decent pair in the $30 range, I would go elsewhere.

These are a good pair of headphones for using while commuting or in day-to-day use. They're not extremely hardy - each of the pairs I've used have broken after about 6 months of normal use. But they're noise-canceling enough that you can hear your music on the subway without feeling like you've left planet Earth, and they don't call attention to themselves like the Apple earbuds do.

I bought these to use with my iPod Nano on my trip to Europe.  The headphones are decent, but I am not an audiophile so I can't talk about the quality of the bass vs anything else. My real concern was comfort. The headphones are decent there too, moderately comfortable.  I really can't stand the headphones that come with the iPod so these are a step up. The only thing that bothers me is that the squishy part slowly re-inflates after it has been in your ear for a while and pushes the earpiece out, so if you fall asleep on the plane listening to your music you may wake up with an earphone out. They also get more uncomfortable as the inner ear part re-inflates. But, they are moderately comfortable and very cheap. I would probably buy them again.

I haven't had a set of over the ear headphones in a while and I wanted to get some for the ease of putting them on/off.  For the price I can't complain about these very much.  Their low end bass is almost non-existent and the mids are a little tiring, so you definitely need to do some EQ work with these to balance them out a bit.  They're very lightweight, which is good for long term comfort.  The only complaint I have about them is my ears press on the inside of the cups a bit and I think that'll cause discomfort after a while, but otherwise they fit over my ears and the head fit and form is about perfect.  Not too tight, not so lose I can't lean over and pick something up and they fall off.  I like that the ear cups will rotate a little to accommodate different angles in heads etc, that's a nice touch for this level of headphones.  The cords and connections seem secure enough, and the cable is quite long which is nice for some things, other things you might want to tie it up a bit and tuck it in a pocket or such.

I think for casual listening these are a great, inexpensive set of headsphones.  You could leave these on your desk at work or within reach of pets/children and not freak out if something happens to them at the price, yet they are good enough to listen to stuff all day long on without being uncomfortable.  You will need to tweak the EQ a little to bring down the mids in my opinion, but most things have an EQ.

After using them for a week, the only complaints I have are that the ear cups are just slightly too shallow, my ears push against the speaker part a little and after several hours it is a little uncomfortable and the cord is SO rubbery it sticks on everything.  It's also a VERY long cord, so keep that in mind.  If you're listening to music on your phone etc, you're going to need to tie up half of the cord and put it in a pocket or something.

There are much worse pairs of earphones you could buy for $20, however, there are also better ones.

Pros:
Balanced
Comfortable
Build quality feels good
Somewhat stylish
microphone w/ controls (for those that care)

Cons:
Sound quality is mediocre
Lacking in Clarity
Lacking some punch in the bass
No sparkle in the treble
Soundstage is average

Overall these aren't too bad at their current price of~20 bucks, but they do not shine in any area, rather they perform just around average or maybe slightly above average for their price range. Decent phones but better to be had at or below this price depending on the sound preferences you are looking for.

Well, this will be a two part review because the pair I got was defective, and had a short at the plug end, so sound would crackle when the cord moved, and completely cut out unless it was kept straight for the first couple inches from the plug. However, I am sure this is not the norm, and just about every electronic product will have a few defective ones from time to time, so I wouldn't consider this a deal breaker.

That being said, when the cord was straight and my pair was working, they sounded as good as any cheap (<$10) pair of headphones. In my experience, headphones under the $20 mark all seem to have a sound like a speaker in a coffee can. I do like to have a "disposable" pair of headphones that I can just leave in the car as a spare set, and these are just fine for that, and better than the ones they sell at the gas station or kwiki-mart type places. So as a cheap backup pair, these are a decent buy. However, since the pair I got was defective, I decided not to get another set, and instead got another pair of my "go-to" headphones, and will just use my old pair as the spare set. If you ARE more concerned with sound quality and don't mind spending a little more, check out the Sony MDR-EX10LP. They are closer to $20 however, so if you are looking for just a cheap pair, the Jbuds are still a good choice.

These wireless headphone are good. I'd say they are probably price appropriate.

Cons:

1. Slightly less than 2 hour use time before requiring recharge with packaged rechargeable batteries. I'm not really happy with these, maybe I could improve upon it with some better rechargable AAA's(takes 2)...but I'm not going through the hassle of returning the headphones over it and when I get annoyed enough I suppose I'll spring for another couple of AAA's.

***UPDATE*** After cycling these batteries a few times I am now getting significantly more than 2 hours, probably around 4 hours, so be sure to charge them and run them down completely a couple of times...they probably have some memory effect.

2. There's some weird ghost/background noise from time to time. You can minimize it with the right input levels and headphone volume, but it's still there, so these aren't for audiophiles per se.

Pros:

1. Very comfortable
2. Do the job

For being on the cheaper end for over-ear headphones these are a good pair. The comfort is ok and they seem pretty durable. The sound quality is not as good as I'd expect from over-ear headphones but overall these are pretty good, moderately priced headphones.
