Betron BS10 Earphones Wired Headphones In Ear Noise Isolating Earbuds with Microphone and Volume Control Powerful Bass Driven Sound, 12mm Large Drivers, Ergonomic Design, Gold

Good product.Noise canceling is good but could be improved.Sound ok but lacks of volume.

I'm a bit old-school and prefer using in-ear wired earphones over fancy Bluetooth wireless ones - can't be dealing with the whole recharging or losing them if they accidentally fall out - I saw a young girl on a bus frantically trying to find one of her earpieces that had fallen out and dropped behind some seats in front - but sadly, to no avail!I needed a new pair of in-earphones to replace an old set I'd had for a number of years and was specifically looking for ones in the "£20 or under" price range.I tried the Marley ones - they had a great cord on them and a nice wooden design, but the sound lacked a certain depth although they were very clear in the treble tones.I tried the Sony MDRs, they were a great fit but seemed somehow rather flimsy and lacked power.I've tried the Panasonic red and black ones, although they look a little cheap they have pretty good robust sound but again the cable is incredibly poor and flimsy.Finally I came across these and I'm pleased to say that they tick all the boxes!!Their design and shape reminded me of some Sony noise-cancelling (not just noise isolating) ones I'd had with a state of the art MP3 playerThey're very comfortable to wear for longer periods, pack an even punchier rich sound with all of the bass, mid tones and treble - no it wasn't me going deaf having to turn the volume right up with the other makes of earphones, they just were nowhere as powerful! And with the right selected silicon ear tips these ones block outside noise pretty amazingly like noise cancelling earphones. The wire is thick and doesn't tangle into knots and the 3.5mm jack plug connector seems pretty heavy duty - time will tell. I specifically like the fact you have the volume up and down buttons on the mic which many in this price range don't. They're great value for the £12.99 they're selling for, and in my opinion are worth much more.The little pouch to keep them in is also a really nice touch.

Update on my review, on submitting feedback to Betron they promptly despatched another set, great customer service the replacement set just the same but I did another comparison with my JVC set to give further feedback and then thought Doh ! Let's try taking the rubber covers off the JVC and put them on the Betron as they fit my ears really well. Revelation the Betrons exploded into life massive difference probably 10% more bass than the JVC much much better sound so I can now thoroughly recommend these but experiment with the covers.Delivery was pretty good considering it was during the latter days leading up to Xmas, the packaging was indicative of a quality product so far so good so on to the real test.First impressions awful, no bass very tinny sound. O.K let's not make a knee jerk reaction being used to earbuds the fit is crucial so let's try getting a snug fit. They don't go very far into the ear so the choice of buds is key. The ' phones come with 3 different sizes the ones on my set were large sized and I have tons of different covers having ordered a set of bretton spares plus the ones that come packaged. Now here's the thing the drivers are oval shaped which means some of them don't fit, frustrating !Tried a few different sizes and material, foam, silicone soft and firm still not getting any bass. These are going back absolute rubbish but I persevered and found a set that gave a better seal and at last bass not profound bass as per a lot of reviews (from which I headed my purchase) but an acceptable sound so for the money I have decided to keep them. These are not as good as my previous JVC xtreme explosive earbuds but they are ok at the price point around £12 if I had purchased at the 'original' selling price approx £50 then they would have been returned.To sum up buy them as a back up or if you want something ok to listen on your commute. Take the 5* reviews with a pinch of salt or maybe they might fit you better and blow you away ..Doubt it though. Personally I would tell you to avoid and go with the JVC
