Overview
A basic wired in-ear headphone set with a built-in microphone and 3.5mm jack, sized with S/M/L silicone tips for fit. The 4.2 foot cable and gold-plated plug are built for everyday use with any device that still has a headphone jack.
This is a no-frills wired option in a market mostly filled with wireless earbuds, aimed at people who need a reliable analog connection for school, work calls, or devices without Bluetooth. The spec sheet lists a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range and 94±3dB sensitivity, typical numbers for budget wired earbuds rather than anything audiophile grade.
- 3.5mm wired connection
- In-line microphone and call control
- 4.2 ft cable length
- S/M/L ear tips plus 2 spare caps
Who it's for
Suited to anyone who wants a cheap, dependable pair of wired earbuds for calls and music on a 3.5mm jack, including students and office workers. Not for anyone who has already moved to a wireless-only phone without an adapter.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Built-in microphone for calls
- Three ear tip sizes for fit
- Gold-plated 3.5mm jack
- Two spare silicone caps included
- Wired only, no Bluetooth option
- Basic sound signature, not for critical listening
Performance notes
The included S/M/L silicone tips let the earbuds seal differently sized ear canals for a more secure, isolating fit, which affects perceived bass and comfort more than the driver spec does at this price point. The gold-plated jack resists corrosion over repeated plugging and unplugging.
