Avantree E171 - AUX 3.5mm Wired Earbuds with Microphone & in-Line Volume Control, Compatible with Traditional 3.5mm AUX Phones Corded Headphones with Ear Hook for Running & Sports, Black

UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am updating this review that I had initially submitted. Approximately 8 months after I bought these (Sep. 2023), the right earbud stopped working all the sudden. I could jiggle and hold the volume control and the sound would come back, but that was not an option. Therefore, I contacted Avantree Support and let them know what happened. They responded by email within 24 hours (other responses for the Support Incident were even quicker than that), and indicated they would send me a new set at no charge as they were still under warranty and provided clear instructions on how to order the new ones. The new ones arrived yesterday, 05/28/24 and they work like a charm. I am still very satisfied with the earbuds, and the professional customer service provided by Avantree. I still feel these are a very good value for the price, given the way they handled replacing the original defective set. ORIGINAL: I have had these Avantree E171 - Sports Earbuds Wired with Microphone for about 3 weeks now and I mainly use these on the treadmill when I run. I have found these to be more than adequate for that purpose. I previously bought Koss $6 headphones for the same purpose but I found those didn't last long enough before one of the earpieces would just go dead. With the Avantree, I can see that for the price, they are a little better made and the wiring is a little stronger. They don't seem flimsy at all, and the earbuds themselves and the portion that fits on your ears seem to be sturdy. They fit on my ears nicely enough with the loops and they do not bother me with or without glasses. They come with the middle size eartips attached, but I did find that when I run on the treadmill, they seemed to jump around a little, so I put on the larger ones. (The earbuds come with 3 sizes of eartips). The eartips are a little hard to get off and get the new ones on but you just need to grab the main part of the earbud and grab the base of the eartip and twist and pull a little to take it off, then work the new one on to the stem by working the opening of the eartip on the stem and pushing down and twisting a little. I have dexterity issues with my hands and I still got them on and off in about a minute. As far as the sound, these are not bass heavy at all, but that is fine (especially for the price) as the music I listen to doesn't have much bass (such as with rap and some rock), but I found there is enough bass where needed, and they provide a nice rich, melodic sound without being "tinny" at all. In addition, although they do not have built-in noise cancelling functionality, I find that with the larger eartips when I am on the treadmill in our community fitness room, I do not hear the lady that babbles on loudly and continuously :). Thank You Avantree! I have not tried these with a cell phone, so I can't speak to using with that. But, I have tried these on an iPod shuffle, an iPod touch and an iPad. The product listing here under "Before You Buy, Please Note That..." notes: "The built-in volume control does not work on PC, laptop, or iOS MP3 players, and the volume up button does not work on the Pixel 3A and Galaxy A9, S10, and Note 9 (it'll activate Google Assistant instead)." I will verify the in-cord volume control and the pause button does not work on the iPod shuffle, but I found they DO work on the iPod Touch and my iPad. Seems to be a bit of a bonus. Overall, I think they are worth the price and provide a set of nice sounding wired earbuds.

Excellent sound quality and bass! Kinda surprised it didn’t come with extra interchangeable earbud rubbers for different sizes but mine fit and are comfortable, at least. I recommend. Suitable for exercising, cord length is generous. Controls work as advertised. Durability is left to be seen!

These lasted just over a year before the connection started failing. I use these mainly for phone calls and audio books. The sound quality is good but the microphone is not the greatest. I sometimes am told that my voice doesn't come through very loud. To be fair, i normally only have the right ear bud in my ear and allow the other to dangle. The left ear bud is failing at the point where it's bent while dangling. The right side is still in mostly good working condition. There are three buttons connected to the right ear bud cord. The edge buttons control the volume and the middle I use to pick up and end calls. They work well. My ear canals are on the smaller side so I use the smallest ear inserts provided. The buds hook over the ears so they stay in place pretty well and don't require adjusting for hours. But after a few hours, they will sometimes hurt and I'll have to spin them to readjust to a slightly different position. All in all, these are decent wired ear buds especially for the price. Just wish they lasted longer than a year.

At first, I thought the price was steep. However, I found the earbuds were of high quality and has a long cord for accessibility. They are sleek and modern. Although they are not Bluetooth, they are seamless and modern-looking. They are also very lightweight so they won't weigh down one's ears. The price is very reasonable; I have used earbuds before, and these are very comfortable and work very well.

Just what I was looking for. I needed a wired pair of earphones. I prefer wired earphones that hang over the ear because they are resistant to falling off when exercising.

I use these exclusively for when I go running. I usually run 8-12 miles & have the headphones in to listen to podcasts. I've logged probably 10+ runs & 100+ miles over the past few months in these headphones and they are finally starting to show a little bit of wear and tear. For my first few runs, the headphones sounded/worked great. Now, when I plug them in to my Samsung Galaxy S9, sometimes they somehow try to click apps on my phone. I have no idea how or why they do this, but the only time my phone acts up is when I have these plugged in. If I can start my podcasts & then just lock my phone before things start acting up, then the headphones perform fine. Once I get going, the headphones do fine (with the phone locked). They don't really fall out & they still sound pretty good. Around the same time the headphones started making my phone act weird, the microphone on the headset also stopped working. Doesn't really bother me because I don't use them for calls anyways, but it stinks that i can't use the mic if i wanted to. As far as I'm concerned, the sound quality on them is still great, but I only listen to audiobooks & podcasts so I don't really need thumping bass & all that. Overall, I wish these had lasted longer, but I didn't expect much out of a set of $15 headphones. I also echo the other reviewers that wish the cord was a bit longer. I'm 6'3" and keep my phone in my pocket while I run. The cord length is not a deal breaker here, but another 6-12 inches of cord would have been great. Rated them 3 stars considering the price and taking into consideration the issues I have had with them thus far after only a few months of usage.

We purchased these to reduce the EMF around our heads. Chose this manufacturer because the reviews were so good. The best was about their Customer Service. A cust. described how after numerous months of enjoyment they stopped working, Cust. Serv. provided a replacement, no questions asked. We bought two, one white, one black, the cord is on the long side, sometimes good and sometimes not so good. The second day of use, I was using them in our Grove while trimming branches and opps, I cut the cord while cutting a branch, bummer. I tried to fix them, no luck. I emailed Avantree Cust Service, described what happened and a replacement is on its way. They work great, they are comfortable in/on my ears, my wife loves hers. I recommend them for their quality and excellent customer service.

I am very pleasantly surprised by these ear buds. The fit is perfect for me and the sound quality is awesome! Great bang for the buck. I would definitely recommend this product.

fit over my ears nicely, I do have small ears though. Comfortable, great sound, so happy to have these for sports.

Der Klang ist richtig gut – klar, kräftig und mit sattem Bass. Auch bei höherer Lautstärke bleibt der Sound sauber und angenehm. Sie sitzen bequem am Ohr und eignen sich super für Sport oder unterwegs. Insgesamt ein hochwertiges Produkt mit einem sehr guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Ich bin rundum zufrieden und würde sie definitiv weiterempfehlen 👍🏼

Very pleased with these comfortable and practical earbuds. Mic sound is clear and bright and the buds fit well. Recommended.
