If I could give negative eggs, this would be the item.

Bass sounds good. Can produce quality sound with the keyword being "can

A bit fuzzy

 

Stated nowhere i could find there is a on/off switch with a +/- control on the headset. It requires batteries and it didn't say where to put them in but I found it by twsting the right pad and it unlocks. It takes 2 tripple A's.

Comfortable fit and a nice portable technique. Not bad for 40$ I'd say

You can hear a descent amount of white noise when the headphones are on max also there is abrely any information about the mechanics of the headset with the instructions other than battery replacement

Wonderful sound!

 

The products are good.The sounds are wonderful and stereo.This earphone looks cool when I take it on.The only disadvantages are too hot after wearing for a long time. It is worthy of the money.

I got these on a lark, I needed a new setup as the mic I was using prior wasn't cutting it. I saw these, and the 'vibrating' feature sold me.
