This is a set of standard ear buds in the meaning that they are not Bluetooth ear buds. This is Armbeats CS-500 modle of head phones. The sound quality is decent for a budget set of ear buds. I can only see that these are available in the one color of black. Upon ordering the ear buds you will get:
1 set in-ear headphones
3 pairs silicone eartips
1 pair sport grips
1 carrying pouch
1 information leaflet
1-year free replacement warranty included.
This is a standard set of ear buds that attach through a 3.5mm plug. This is a common size of head phone plugs for almost all devices. I am still partial to this type of connection because there are not any buffering lose of music from data transfer. The part that can be frustrating though is dealing with the cord dangling down to device you are attached too. However with this cord it is supposed to reduce the twisting and knotting most cords seem to be prone too.
The ear buds do have some additions to increase the comfort. There are ear tips that will help hold the ear buds in your ears as you are moving around. There are also 3 sizes of ear bud cups to fit the ear canal. Now with the ear tips in it does make the ear buds less likely to fall out and almost mandantory if you are doing any kind of exercise. The ear cups of different sizes is great for me since my ear canals are not the same size in my ears. I have to wear a medium and a small for the best comfort.
Now we will move to the important part of the ear buds; how do they sound? Well the ear buds produce a lot of noise and are much louder then I would ever use for max volume. I did push the volume to max for as long as I could tolerate and was unable to detect any distortion in the sound. These ear bud speakers do cover a full range of sound, but they are not a true full range. The bass is a woofer caliber bass versus a sub-woofer true driving bass. The bass comes across more of a deep mid-range. The mid-range and high range both come through clearly and as expected from a speaker. With this being said, all the ranges are there and present with crisp and clear sound. If you are looking for a Bose sound quality out of a budget set of ear buds you will need to look at a set of Bose ear buds. I have yet to find any budget ear buds that produce at the level. These are designed for entertainment at a good price with average to a bit above average range of speaker quality. These speakers do offer noise isolating abilities which is great for any set of budget ear buds.
These ear buds also come with an in-line mic and the ability to answer calls as well. The control in the in-line mic area will connect you to your calls. I did not try this feature out since I use my tablet for music and my phone I answer normal.
A couple of other features are a carrying pouch that will hold your ear buds and the cord all in one place. Next there is a small leaflet that is included with these ear buds to give you a breif understanding of the ear buds and functions. Lastly the ear buds come with a 1 year free replacement warranty. This is a very nice plus with the idea they are willing to back their product.
If you are looking for a set of ear buds this may get the job done for you. They are a budget priced set of ear buds, offer a full range of sound, provides crisp, clear sound, noise isolation, and a warranty. I would like to thank Armbeats and affiliates for sending me this set of ear buds to try out and share my opinion.
