Good In Ear Earbuds

These are my first open ear headphones. No more earbuds for me!

The Shure se215s are an EXCELLENT option for any serious studio or stage monitoring work. I first used them nearly 15 years ago in a live setting with Shure's wireless in-ear system. I never really thought much of them except that they sounded pretty good and would mostly stay in with my thrashing around the stage. Recently I was looking for a pair of wired earbuds for monitoring while traveling and I was pretty sure a mixer/producer friend was using these. We spoke about them and he told me he starts all his serious mixing tasks on these. I trust his ears and how right was he about these. These are the most accurate monitoring devices I've ever used. The have detailed flat bass response with crystal clear frequency response throughout and they are very comfortable. I haven't had ear fatigue or discomfort from these yet. I've completely stopped using my Audio Technica ATH-M50s because these sound so much better. I'm able to hear into the mix more in my own work and also just listening to a streaming service as well. These earbuds make listening to music fun. More fun than it used to be and I nearly always have music playing at home so I'm quite a music fanatic. The value on these earbuds is impeccable. Really they don't have any business being as good as they are and, as an added bonus for travel, they come with a carrying case pounce that also has a clip so I can clip it on my belt loop and not lose them. I hope to always have a pair of se215s. I'm a true believer.

These are by far the best earbuds I've tried. Sony earbuds cause an almost immediate, long-lasting ache in my ear canal no matter what tips I use and the settings I try. ANC was uncomfortable. Others hurt my outer ear and never get close in sound to my beloved over-ear headphones. I didn't even consider the expensive Bose QuietComfort line because of the baffling lack of good multi-point connection. My Sony experience was not strong there either despite offering multipoint. These easily beat what's out there. They have the best sound I've heard from any earbuds, are surprisingly comfortable all day with their concha and not-too-deep fit, have great features like wireless case charging, can customize level of ANC and transparency, can amazingly jump back and forth between THREE devices seamlessly and for the first time I feel no pressure with ANC. I can listen to music- actually sounds good- and it seamlessly jumps to my online meetings, then back to my phone when I choose to answer a phone call. They last me most of the workday of constant meetings which is more than average. These aren't the most high profile earbuds and I'm not sure why. They just plain work in every way that others don't. Consider skipping the Sony and Bose and trying these.

The case is pleasant to look at and the motion of the lid feels good. The earbuds are comfortable in my ear, and the audio quality is great.

Very decent earbuds for the price. They hold on to your ear very well and the sound is pretty good. As well as the mic for phone calls.

These Pixel A Buds are, hands down, the best earbuds I've ever used. They are literally as good as my over the ear beats and sooooo much easier to carry

The earbuds come with a very good selection of ear tips, with and without the little wings on them. It was easy to find a pair that fit just right. The sound is excellent. It takes a good 3-5 seconds for the device to activate or turn off, so be patient holding the on/off button. The manual can be downloaded from the web and is then easy to read for charging, on/off, and Bluetooth pairing instructions. I tried pairing the earbuds with my cordless phone and had to be near the base station to do so. However, I have not got the earbuds to work with the cordless phones even when near the base station, but I am fairly sure that is a function of the phones and not the earbuds. I don't know how long the battery will last on a charge since I have not reached that point yet. The one slight annoyance is that the controls are close to one of the earpieces, so you to feel your way to the on/off and volume controls if you don't want to take that earbud out of your ear. But over all, this is a very good, light weight set of earbuds.

They wear is very comfortable. I have a ton of ear piercings so I can’t fit in earbuds. Shokz don’t look too big and weird. My last earbuds had a big blue light on them and I felt embarrassed wearing them. Audio feature, it’s good. They aren’t Bose’s. The bass isn’t fantastic but that’s not important to me. I haven’t worn them for more than an hour so I can’t comment on battery life. So far so good. I highly recommend these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the design of these earbuds. For one, the flat cable helps with the "tangle in the pocket" problem that many other wired earbuds get; these earbuds are way easier to manage. Secondly, the earbuds' design lets me know if I picked up the Left or Right earpiece without having to look at my hands; I can just place them into the correct ear quickly. Lastly, these sound good. This product are a pair of earbuds and not big head cans; so for in-ear audio pieces, these are good quality! The controls worked well with my phone and my tablet.

i enjoy how the earbuds sit comfortably in my ear and i appreciate that it stays in during my workouts!
