Ludos Clamor Wired Earbuds in-Ear Headphones, 5 Years Warranty, Earphones with Microphone, Noise Isolating Ear Buds for School, Kids, Women, Small Ear

I purchased these earbuds primarily for use with my laptop, and they have worked very well. The sound quality is clear, voices are easy to hear during video calls, and music sounds great. They fit comfortably in my ears and can be worn for extended periods without discomfort. I also appreciate that they are wired, so I don’t have to worry about charging them or dealing with Bluetooth connection issues. The cord feels durable, and the earbuds provide good value for the price. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable wired earbuds.

Update 6/21/21: OK, after 4+ months of owning these they have started to fail. After several cord yanks, the headphones are causing my phone to do random things like skip forward or backward a song or two, stop the song or even close the app. Occasionally there is some crackling in the sound also. The wiring is obviously damaged and they are annoying enough now that I will be buying a new set of a different brand very soon. As I pointed out below in my original review, the previous pair I had took a beating with far more abuse than these for over 3 years before replacement and actually cost less. These sound great while they last but the build quality now is suspect. I don't actually see any physical damage on them and yet they are failing rapidly. Original Review: I haven't owned this long but so far I can say it's a great value. The last ear bud set I bought on Amazon was a Symphonized wooden constructed pair with great reviews that was excellent also for the price. I thought that pair was going to be the best I could find for the price range but I decided to branch out and try another brand for comparison purpose. Well, I'm not disappointed. I feel like for the price, this pair is slightly better. The sound quality is great. This pair is not as bass heavy as the Symphonized pair but that's not a bad thing. All the sounds that come through sound more accurate to the music and more natural. The music sounds very vibrant with a good mix of volume and clarity in all the sound ranges including bass. So far the build quality seems good too. The cord is a nice mesh style that is far less prone to getting tangled than the last pair I owned. And it's also easier to un-tangle when it does get a little looped up on itself. So far the cord has been yanked a couple times with no negative effect. Still fully functional, but I realize it hasn't been long enough to really judge fully. The Symphonized pair was VERY sturdy and took a heavy beating for 3.5 years before finally failing so there's quite a lot to live up to there. Overall this pair is nice looking, sounds great, is easy to work with and seems to have good build quality. Also I have made a few calls on my phone with it, and that has worked flawlessly. The mic seems good. The sound quality while in a call is excellent and the other person on the phone seems to have no issue hearing me clearly. The buttons on the cord are easy to use and work as advertised so far. The one thing I wish these had that the previous pair had, is a clip for clipping the cord in place on a shirt collar or other clothing. But I was able to remove the clip from my Symphonized pair and put it on these and it works great. No issue there. So to sum up, if you prefer buds with heavy bass that is maybe a little over emphasized (which some people do and it's totally legitimate as a preference and still sounds great) I would recommend another great quality set (like the Symphonized ones) but if you prefer more natural sound with excellent clarity that is balanced, you can't go wrong with these.

Update March 28 2023: the foam eartips have apparently sucked up my earwax, deformed, and are now rock hard. The foam started off super squishy and comfy and now its just a mess. They need to find another foam material to use that wont deform or harden from absorbing ear wax. Reduced by 1 star for this. So I have been going through earbuds like crazy. I mean a lot of them. USUALLY when I am not trying out new buds, I will opt for the cheap sony earbuds knowing that I can have them in while sleeping and not hurt my left ear (laying my head on a pillow with buds in). Opening the box, small, compact, nothing crazy. Had a had written note inside thanking me for supporting a "small business" which okay. Glad I could help? lmao. Anyway. I bought the black with orange accents. Feeling the cable, I like the rubberized coating. It feels good in your hands. I would assume if you were someone into sports, this rubber coating will be great considering if you get it sweaty you will probably still have grip thanks to it being rubber and not cloth. I wont be testing that because I am not capable (handicapped). Anyway. The sound quality isn't BAD per say, but its obviously not perfect neither. When I sleep I use Binaural/Isochronic frequencies. Which generally means one frequency in one ear and another frequency in the other for Binaural, and both frequencies in both ears for Isochronic. SO FAR, I have been focused mainly on Isochronic lately. AT LOW VOLUMES like when studying, the headphones don't like it. The tones used at 70hz and 72hz which gives you a 2hz Isochronic effect. Or I will do 63hz and 70hz for 7hz Iso which is great for imagination and visualization. Anyway, at low volumes these headphones don't like having pure frequencies playing. You can hear something inside clapping like how a speaker cone will flap. Otherwise for music/tv/anime you don't have any issues at any volume. Now I just so happened to buy the Logitech G333 at the same time. Similar pricing. I will say you can tell the difference in sound profile. The G333 has more bass as it has a dual driver design. So the low end sounds WAY better in everything compared to these. However, the LUDOS here have way better upper end in terms of treble. So its sharper and thus slightly more clear sounding. The LUDOS have this weird special effect. Generally for typical "over the ear" headphones, you would have closed back and open back. Open back give you more special sound while closed back generally feel more enclosed making the sound feel closer to you. Most people don't care about this but figured I would mention it. The LUDOS somehow make you feel like it has special sound even though they are ear buds, but at the same time they are feel close. So you get this weird close but far sound from them. Its not bad, its just, unique. This is generally personal preference anyway. I don't mind it, some "audio snob" might care. Granted I don't think audio snobs are buying cheap headphones! LOL. So far, I am happy with these. I ESPECIALLY love the colored foamy tips they come with. I haven't even tried to crack open the extra pack of tips because I just LOVE how comfy the foamy tips are. I personally think all brand should go with the foam like tips as LUDOS have. Honestly the BEST feature in my opinion.... Again I am happy with these, mainly because I can wear them when I sleep. Which is the main reason for my buying earbuds in the first place. When I am up and about, i generally where my snobby Sony MDR-Z7M2 cans which are just, next level..... Sadly the G333 cannot be worn when sleeping, they hurt my ears.... So LUDOS won my nighttime. NOW the question is, how long do they last. My sony earbuds generally last 6 months which isn't great. Granted sleeping with headphones is considered "abuse" at least in my mind. My last pair of earbuds were JVC memory foam earbuds which sadly only lasted from DEC 2022 when I bought them until January 2023 when I got these LUDOS to replace them. So yeah the JVC couldn't handle the stress of my nighttime routine (mainly the drivers failing due to pure frequency being played all night long and not actual content like music/etc). I hope LUDOS get some frequency reading gear for output, so they can test their earbuds and find the frequency curve. Everything used to make a headphone will effect its sound in some way. Sometimes minor, sometimes major. The housing material (plastic, metal, composite, etc) to the shape of said housing and even the shape inside where the sound bounces around before it gets to your ear, to the driver being used, the cable thickness and length, can all effect the sound. Going off my own ears and knowing what neutral headphones should sound like, these are definitely not a flat response. However, I will mention again the upper end, the treble range, sounds extremely good. Very clear and sharp. For those that prefer that kind of sound profile. If you want more bass and less top end, the Logitech G333 would be a better alternative (1:1 comparisons without using an equalizer, obviously you could in theory use an equalizer to add bass to the LUDOS and make them sound more full on the bottom end). OTHERWISE, these have been great SO FAR for me.

I've had these earbuds for a few years now! I actually have 2 pairs but the other is in storage with my other electronics but I digress & say I like these better than my higher priced JBL earbuds! I use these every week when I go to do laundry. They sound excellent & the bass is nice. They perform well when talking on the cellphone also if you still have the auxiliary jack like me on my LGV60🥰👍🏿 These are comfortable & they don't fall out of my ears or have to keep adjusting them every 5 minutes! Loves these things🥰👍🏿

The best earbuds as far as my son is concerned. In his words: “I will continue to get these until they stop making them. I have a few pairs as backups for when that day comes. A pair lasts me a long time and the memory foam buds actually fit in my ears unlike most rubber earbuds. My latest pair has lasted over a year (and counting) and has survived being yanked from my ears many times, a trip around the world, and an accidental visit through the washer and dryer. On that note, please never discontinue these.”

I am writing this product review based solely on my observations and use interactions with the LUDOS Clamor Earbuds - I haven't been offered, given, or promised anything in return from anyone for my review. I purchased the earbuds for a total price of $12.44 on August 12, 2021, and they arrived August 21st, the same day I began using them. PRODUCT USE SPECIFICATIONS: - Samsung Galaxy S10+ MEMORY FOAM TIPS: What first attracted to me to these buds were the memory foam tips, which I hoped would finally provide me with a stable earbud - I don't use these for any activities which require an abundance of movement and sweating, mostly listening to music while on flights, or while on toilets, or while on toilets while on flights. - The foam tip requires such a high amount of force to situate itself within the ear canal well enough so I'm confident it will not fall out, that I fear I'll begin creating fancy earwax diamond-like minerals from the intense energy being produced, however once in, they do fit rather decently for sedentary use - sadly, to date I have produced no earwax diamonds. - I tried swapping the foam tips out for the provided rubber tip replacements to see how they might compare, but none of the four sizes would allow the earbud to fit comfortably enough in my ears. - *UPDATE 10/23/2021* I should mention that the replacement rubber tips are quite difficult to put on the earbuds, but turning the rubber tip inside-out makes it much easier. I added a short video showing how I put the rubber tips on. SOUND QUALITY: For reference purposes, I mostly listen to metal, rap/hip-hop, & jazz. - Although the base level of the buds out-of-the-box seemed poor, I navigated to my phone's equalizer controls and after some tweaking, I was able to customize/improve the sound based on the genre I was listening to. At such a low cost, and after adjusting the equalizer, the sound quality with the memory foam tips was pretty good to me. - *UPDATE 10/23/2021* I tested the microphone on the replacement earbuds, making an audio recording of just my voice outdoors using my phone, and although I could hear everything fine during playback, there is a noticeable muffling of the sound when compared to a recording I also made without the headphones plugged in. I didn't buy these for the microphone, so it doesn't matter to me, but I thought I should add this to the review nonetheless. DURABILITY: I first began experiencing trouble with the earbuds beginning of October 2021, approximately 7 weeks after first use - While listening to music, it will randomly prompt the virtual assistant on my phone (Bixby) to popup, waiting for an audio command from me as it simultaneously pauses the music. To bypass this, I simply hit play again on the music player and all goes back to normal, until it prompts again, and again.... - As of October 14, 2021, the right earbud no longer produces sound, unless I happen to move or nudge the headphone cable, when sometimes the sound reappears momentarily before I hear a crackling sound in the bud as the sound stops again. I try my best to remove the buds only using the black tip near the male end, however I am humble enough to admit there have been times I removed it using part of the yellow cable, which probably doesn't help maintain the integrity of the wires within. *ADDED 10/23/2021* CUSTOMER SERVICE: I have had only one interaction with the Ludos customer service team - they accepted that the product I purchased was faulty, they replaced it with a new pair at no additional costs to me, both of which were appreciated. - Inside each earbud case is a handwritten note that thanks the buyer and reminds to complete a review online, I like that personal touch. CONCLUSION: For the price, the sound quality was great. I would expect to receive more than two months of use though, even when considering the low cost. ----UPDATES---- *10/16/2021* I requested support through Amazon and after troubleshooting, they directed me to open a warranty claim with Ludos. I have messaged them, and I will update this review as I receive updates myself. **10/16/2021** Ludos contacted me within a few hours - they determined the earbuds were faulty and agreed to send me a replacement pair. They didn't ask me to return the defective buds, but I was prepared to do so, if asked. ***10/22/2021*** I received the new earbuds today and have delicately started using them. - The sound quality is just as good as the original pair, after adjusting the equalizer.

While I do have wireless earbuds, I usually only use them for exercising just because always worrying about a charge is a task and I tend to overlook that. That said, I just wanted something that was wired that I could use at a moment's notice and have great sound with a very good price. These 100% do the trick. I'm not some kind of cork-sniffing obsessive compulsive audiophile, but I like to have great sound with a good balance of lows, highs, and mids when I'm using the audio player on my phone without having to EQ anything drastic. With these, I can run the EQ flat and still get reliably superior sound. If the audio is not good, it's more than likely coming from the sound file and not these (garbage in, garbage out). These earbuds are extremely sturdy and well built, and the wiring is a bit more heavy duty than most wiring that you'd see on any other earbuds. The controls work well and I have had zero issues or complaints. I really like the mesh bag and tin (like an Altoids can) that they came in. I keep them in this, as I tend to baby the stuff that I have to keep up their lifespans, so this is very handy. I did change out the cushion earbuds themselves and put on triple flange ones that I had ordered for another pair a while back for other (now deceased) ear buds. I just favor those. I'm leaving this review as my son came to me and said he needs new wired earbuds as he destroyed his last (crappy) pair. If he ruins these, there are not other earbuds on earth that might be suitable for him. If that's not enough of an endorsement that I'm buying a second pair with the success of my first, then I don't know what would be. UPDATE (MAY 12, 2021) I've bought 4 sets of these so far. The first pair for myself well over a year ago that I use every single day for meetings (yay, telework!) and education stuff and leisure phone time. They get plugged in and unplugged multiple times a day. They are still 100% good (I baby them, clean them, and keep them in the tin). My son has ruined 2 pairs (he ruins EVERYTHING, this is no surprise). My daughter has a pair one month old and uses them every day. She loves them!! UPDATE (JULY 29, 2022) I still have mine, and they still work as good as the day that I bough them. My kids have gone through theirs, as well as a few other pairs, but they don't take care of them, so........ The replacement ear buds that I use are here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R8RMY2C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I still use them pretty much every day while at work for meetings and listening to streaming music and taking classes (and communicating through various webinar/teleworking platforms). Zero issues. I do take the ear buds pieces off daily to clean them under water and wipe down the wired earbuds. I also wrap them up and put them back in the little case the same way I found them. My son ended up getting Bluetooth earbuds, which suits him as there is less to destroy overall. My things last a VERY long time, due to how I treat them. If you are careless or a big slob, then it won't matter what you buy. Definitely got my money out of these!

Although the sound quality is good and it is definitely better than those cheap skull candy earbuds that have a huge echo on your mic. They are very good, but I’m not really a fan of the rubber tips, they give you in the packaging since there’s no kind of grip around the eartips I would constantly find them falling out of my ear and having to press them back in. I never had that issue with Skullcandy earbuds and knowing that earbuds are very long. This happens a lot. I’m gonna have to end up buying or using old headphone rubber tips that stay in my ear.

👍

Gran sonido, buenos materiales. Los amo.

Good sound, not uncomfortable in the ears. Bought them when they are on sale at a super low price, excellent deal.

Je suis impressionné par la qualité globale de ces écouteurs filaires. La rendu sonore est clairement sans faille pour les mélomanes qui ne s'attarderont pas sur des détails trop techniques. Nous avons ici des écouteurs particulièrement agréables à porter puisqu'on ne ressent aucune gêne grace à la texture mémoire de forme de ceux-ci. On a beau avoir le meilleur son qui soit, le confort est un critère aussi décisif que le premier. Autre point positif, c'est la possibilité de régler le volume sonore depuis la télécommande intégrée, un atout à souligner qui est plutôt rare dans cette gamme de prix. La qualité de fabrication n'est pas en reste. La forme des écouteurs est plutôt réussie. Le fil, souple, résistant et esthétique, est conçu en caoutchouc à l'aspect tissu tressé. Enfin, bien que ce ne soit pas indispensable, les écouteurs sont accompagnés de 3 paires de coussinets supplémentaires qui permettront de s'adapter à toutes les oreilles. Livrés dans une jolie petite boîte métallique, vous pourrez aussi en assurer le stockage dans un petit sachet souple fourni à la couleur des écouteurs. Vous l'aurez deviné, vous ne regretterez pas votre achat en choisissant ces écouteurs LUDOS Clamor.

Fidandomi delle recensioni positive sia su Amazon che un po' ovunque su Youtube ecc ho deciso di provare queste Ludos Clamor in virtù soprattutto del prezzo estremamente contenuto e della qualità audio comunque apparentemente buona paventata da tali recensioni. Dopo qualche giorno di utilizzo non posso effettivamente far altro che confermare il tutto! Da ascoltatore principalmente di musica hard rock e metal sono rimasto impressionato dalla qualità dell'audio "out-of-the-box", spesso le cuffie nelle fasce di prezzo basse tendono a pompare tutto il possibile sui bassi per la musica più commerciale e viene trascurata la riproduzione di toni medi e alti, invece a mio parere le Clamor se la cavano egregiamente in tutte le situazioni e magari dopo un po' di pignola equalizzazione, diventano ancora meglio. Ovviamente non posso valutare l'effettiva durata nel tempo ma per ora sembrano molto ben fatte a livello di qualità costruttiva e il cavo in corda intrecciata sembra decisamente robusto e trasmette di certo una bella sensazione di sicurezza. Io tendo a trattare questo tipo di cose sempre con riguardo, ma il cavo di queste cuffie mi fa pensare che se la caverebbero egregiamente anche in caso di un discreto strapazzamento. Il pezzo forte delle Clamor sono i cuscinetti in-ear in memory foam che sono di una morbidezza abbastanza sconvolgente, si adattano perfettamente all'orecchio senza sforzo e una volta messi sembra di non averli. L'isolamento acustico è buono, la trasmissione del suono pure, la comodità è estrema. Sicuramente uno dei (tanti) punti forti del prodotto. Se poi si rapportano questa qualità costruttiva e dei materiali, questi piccoli tocchi di genio come i cuscinetti in memory foam e questa qualità audio al prezzo a cui vengono vendute semplicemente diventano pressoché imbattibili (ovviamente parlando di prodotti comparabili). Se si cercano delle cuffie in-ear resistenti, estremamente comode, con tutte le funzioni standard (è presente il classico telecomando a 3 tasti per la riproduzione multimediale e il controllo volume) e che suonino bene, soprattutto in funzione del prezzo, ci sono veramente poche ragioni per guardare altrove.
