“Not as good as my $800.00 pro earphones (the ones pro’s use) but for the Money, they sound great. Bass is strong so if you are able to turn off all sound enhancements they sound GREAT just on there on.” - Smug Amazon Customer
★★★ "These earphones seem to be flimsy, particularly where the wire connects to the controls. Plus, the volume control does not work, though I have a fairly up-to-date phone, Galaxy S5. On the other hand, the box in which the earphones came must have cost the company a small fortune since it appears to be everything that the headphones are not: well thought out and sturdy.
It does come with a 2 year warranty and the sound is very good, so hopefully if the earphones do break there will be coverage." - Amazon Customer

@MehnofLaMehncha Reminds me of the bit of lore claiming that Acorn Computers’ name was chosen, at least in part, for its destiny to appear before Apple in the phone book.
As a person who is on the go I really love the box these come in!!! The quality is substantial, the printing is crisp, the way it opens just feels right!!!
In for 4 in green and of course I got VMP, it’s the best deal in shipping boxes in boxes!!!
@dunda I love that podcast so much. “The Wrath of the Khans” was my favorite series. It takes Dan months to make a new episode, but each one is like 3 hours. And interesting for that whole length. I listen to them while I’m playing games.
OK. Got it. They came on the scene a little late. Everybody else had great high-end earbuds. They got lost in the market. But who cares? Like the last couple of nights, I’ve got lots of what meh is selling. I’ve got about twenty sets of earbuds and…wait for it…only one set of ears. Sorry, meh.
Geez, Meh. When you finally sell a product that human beings have reviewed on Amazon, you tell us that if we buy it it’ll take nearly a year to be delivered. You drive a hard bargain.
@f00l I have a set of Bluetooth earbuds. They work great until I put my phone in my pocket, then they lose the signal.If I carry my phone or shove it under the strap of my tank top, completely fine. But they were $20. What could I expect?
I would love some better ones that don’t break the bank.
@f00l LG Tones are the only way to bluetooth. There’s enough battery so you never feel you’re going to run out of juice at any moment. And you don’t have to worry about them tangling and shit.
@mehdaf If my phone is under the strap of my tank, I can’t take a photo. I’m usually by myself if I’m working out, so no one to take the photo of me either.
So here’s a random picture from the internet of someone doing it incorrectly:
Anybody have experience with the mic on these? I seem to have managed to have five sets of earbuds…and none with a mic. So the phone rings and HUGE SCRAMBLE TO REMEMBER HOW TO MAKE THEM HEAR ME.
@scotthall Just plugged it into my PS4 and recorded a voice message to test it. I had to fiddle around with it a ton to get it to work- unplugging it and plugging it in a bunch of times while I was recording the message got it to finally register for whatever reason. Now I can consistently record with it and the quality seems pretty solid. Easily on par with the Vita earbuds I’ve been using, so I’ll be getting another pair as a backup ps4 headset.
@bluecolor To clarify, once I got it to register once, I didn’t have to fiddle with it at all and as much as I jostled the connection I could still use the mic fine. It’s just that for whatever reason, when I first plugged it in and tried to use it, it didn’t record my voice at all whatsoever. Kinda weird but not a huge issue. Didn’t try it with my phone tho…I imagine it’d work better on the phone- I’ve had mics that don’t work on ps4 that work fine w/ the phone.
What complete psychopath would compile a list of recommended podcasts and deprive the community of The Flop House. Just start with the infamous Foodfight episode episode and go on from there.
Bought them last time, and i quite like them. Sound quality is good. The way they’re constructed it feels like they stick out of your ears a bit more than your average ear bud, but they also feel really comfortable (and i have slightly smaller ear holes than most so that’s sometimes an issue for me) and feel well-seated in the ear. I haven’t used the mic, so i don’t have any comments on that front.
I generally buy pretty crappy headphones, so take what i say with a grain of salt, i guess.
@Al_Coholic Bu buh but these are only $3 with VMP and the code from the knives they sold a week or so ago that turned out to be even crappier than advertised. And VMP is cheaper than prime!
You know you want 'em Al. Twelve easy steps to ordering is all it takes…
I was hoping to see the list of podcasts from this deal’s description - I refreshed the tab last night before I took notes on the ones I wanted to check out!

how were people directed here from lowes.com?
Glad I now know the trick for figgering out what stuff the pros use.

Definitely love Hardcore History. I always get excited when I see a new episode out.
@dunda I love that podcast so much. “The Wrath of the Khans” was my favorite series. It takes Dan months to make a new episode, but each one is like 3 hours. And interesting for that whole length. I listen to them while I’m playing games.
No Harmontown in that list, shame.
High def and no HDMI? Ludicrous.
If A-Audio is the best name they can do, it might as well be something like “Awe-dio”.

I feel like these should be $3. Please adjust the price and then relist them.
@warpedrotors wow maybe you should start your own deal site.
Geez, Meh. When you finally sell a product that human beings have reviewed on Amazon, you tell us that if we buy it it’ll take nearly a year to be delivered. You drive a hard bargain.
@gertiestn I came in to say that same thing! Well…and to ask what the actual delivery time frame is.
Thank you so much for providing links to the podcasts. Those are going to keep me busy for awhile. (and thanks for the mention).
I sure hope this is not correct
Estimated Delivery: 5/6 - 5/9
@DM396 did they show up already? If not. I wouldn’t order. It may be too long of a wait!
For anything spoken word, bluetooth is better. Let’s go, bluetooth earbuds pls. Decent ones.
@f00l I have a set of Bluetooth earbuds. They work great until I put my phone in my pocket, then they lose the signal.If I carry my phone or shove it under the strap of my tank top, completely fine. But they were $20. What could I expect?

@RiotDemon
Depends on the buds. I usually use LG Tones. Happy to try others if they are cheap or stellar.
@RiotDemon
"or shove it under the strap of my tank top, completely fine."
pics or it didn’t happen…
@f00l LG Tones are the only way to bluetooth. There’s enough battery so you never feel you’re going to run out of juice at any moment. And you don’t have to worry about them tangling and shit.

@RiotDemon ha! Thanks for playing along, lol!

Ugh.

Bought them last time… one bud cuts out… be careful
@mcemanuel utilize the warranty?
How 'bout some earphones bud???Meh be meh be not…
These earbuds are pretty darn good. I feel like a ghetto super star, but the ridges on the back really hold these buds in my ears.
I bought these for my 16 year old son last time they were on. He likes them.
Not Android compatible? Meh. Come to me when you got something that works properly.

@qwesda this one
looks about right … the cold eyes, lips pressed to a thin line
Can confirm that Ask Me Another is a really good podcast.
The Jack Benny Program presented by Lucky Strike or Jello
@connorbush Jean Shepherd - WOR - recordings all over the net.

@Karzan Thanks, good to know! I also have small ears canals.
Lisping-Melted-Vessel - In for 2. If the buds suck, I can re-use the holders for my mismatched frankenstein sets I’ve been having to use when in need.
Thought about getting them and realized there are $8 earbuds on Amazon with better ratings.

@mike808 nah.
@moose - the estimated delivery date for this sale is definitely off.
Was going to buy as many as I could until I saw delivery was not until next May. No bueno,

Came here for the same thing. Was sad, then did some google fu. There is a site called mehstalker that has a history of past deals.
