JLAB JBuds J4M - review

Great set: seven rubber tips, case, earbuds.

The good:solid silicone like rubber, very sound proof, tangle proof, strong case, loud and clear.

The bad:no volume control on the earbud itself - didn't expect there to be one, but it is a negative.

Notes: the gray smoke color is awesome.   I had them tested by my musician friend who said they were as good as his custom molded three hundred buck bose buds.

 Great pair of buds and they really are as strong as they seem, I stopped hearing any sound from the left one and got mad because I loved these buds!  So I swung them at objects to unclog them and so it went for a month. I eventually took the bud off and the metal grating and discovered it was plugged with wax I removed it reassembled the buds and they worked as if they were never abused!!!

able planet Sound Clarity® NC550BC - review

 These headphones turned out to be a massive disappointment.

The good:

Sound: quality is good, high pitches lack a bit but not enough to be an inconvenience.

Case: a strong cardboard or some such lined with a polyester like material, it's actually pretty good as far as an headphone case, served me well.

Cable: a bit delicate other then that I haven't had any problems.

Looks: the headphones fold so you can listen to them without them being on your ears.  They look good enough.

The bad:

The noise canceling only removed repetitive sounds:
  dishwasher, washing machine, the sound of an plane.
 It didn't however remove: voices and footsteps.

Padding: comfortable at first but about twenty minutes later you can feel the plastic pressing around the ears, ears get lightly sweaty, the headphones also get generally uncomfortable.


Battery life: only lasts around eight hours, not enough for me, but you decide!

Notes: After six months usage the left side broke from normal wear.
