Order Placed: 29 December 2016Price at Purchase: £14.99Overview:It was a while ago that I bought them so I can't remember exactly how long they took to arrive, what packaging they were in or what was in the box, but the actual earphones I am still using today, so I can talk about them quite easily.Pros: - L-shaped headphone jack to insert into your device which means they won't get damaged as easily -> I have broken other earphones that have had a straight plug. - Comfortably fit in your ear -> also come with other shape/size ear buds if the one on the earphones doesn't fit well. - Durable -> I was listening to music and actually dropped one of the earphones into a glass of water but after drying them they still work fine and sound the same. - Good sound quality -> I'm not an expert with bass etc but to me, they sound good and I am very impressed for the price. - Noise cancelling works well and external sound is very quiet and muffled. - Very easy to untangle the cables which is a big problem with some earphones. - They look attractive.Cons: - A small thing, but the cables have twisted slightly and it bugs me a bit.Conclusion:They are some very good quality headphones that have lasted a lot longer than many of my other pairs and sound exceptionally good for the price.Score: 9/10

I bought these to replace a series of existing earphones that I kept breaking by wearing in bed, invariably falling asleep and stretching the chord to breaking point.I have to say that these earhpnes represent excellent value for money. In fact I bought 2 pairs should the "sleep breaking" scenario happen again.They are well made and seem be be of a good enough quality to take whatever life throws at them. While advertised as having a bass bias, I would argue that the bass output is reasonable, but the mids and highs are truly excellent.The audio clarity out of these earphones is genuinely excellent and they are definitely loud enough for most people. I personally would prefer them a little louder but then again that's not the fault of the earphones as that's usually capped at the source device.The passive background noise isolation is also impressive and there is negligible audio bleed from these earphones so you shouldn't annoy other people even when you have the volume cranked right up.The button controls work flawlessly (on Android anyway), just read the manual for track forward/back as it's not the usual setup. I haven't tried the mic but I assume it's good based on how well the rest of the product works.

Bought as my previous headphones weren't very loud or clear when in noisy environments. These seem ok and the price was really good although in terms of noise cancellation I'm not sure how much better they were than my old ones.Update: clearly to harsh on this product, just been using these beauties at work to try and drown out a colleague who wouldn't stop talking, extremely low volume - no outside noise at all. Would most certainly recommend on that basis alone.

I initially wanted to return these because the microphone is useless (at least on my pair) however the sound for listening to music or gaming is excellent. on par with my professional Sony Studio monitor headphones. Going to have to find another dedicated headset for gaming as its a shame the mic on these is so poor. Hever ill be keeping them as travel headphonesSound quality is strong - good base, good mids, generally very cleanMicrophone - very poor, people on the phone or gaming couldn't hear me and caused a lot of reverb. Even the playstation audio settings registered it as poor on the highest level.Such a shame

Bought these as some of the highest-rated earphones on Amazon with many reviews of their great sound.Comparing them against my 10 year old Skullcandy Ink'd 2 headphones which had a similar £15 price the difference is very noticeable. Listening to various types of audio from music to speaking, the Betron DC950Hi have a much flatter sound, losing some of the mid frequencies, giving a colder flatter sound.After testing by ear, I used a spectrum analyzer to compare the two and found the Betron DC950Hi lost frequencies mostly in the 500-1000 Hz range.Bass is similar and high frequencies are similar but the mids are dropped much more with the Betron DC950Hi.
