Ailihen Stereo Headphones



I received the Ailihen I35 Stereo Headphones through a promotion. 

Product Info:
  • Noise-canceling
  • Folding design
  • Microphone on cord
These Ailihen headphones are nice, colorful, and have a decent sound quality.

The headphones have a very long cord that allows me to be mobile. I can have my device in a pocket or purse while having the headphones and not worry about yanking the headphones off. It's even long enough that I can plug the headphones into the computer and have room to move.

The head band and ear pieces have a soft leather-like cover on them. They provide extra cushion to help make more of an ergonomic design. The headphones are said to be comfortable, but either the head band is made small or my head is big. I can wear the headphones for about a half hour before they start getting uncomfortable. It feels like it's squeezing my head after awhile. The size of the headphones seems like they'd be better off for kids or teenagers, not so much for adults.

I do not recommend putting these headphones around the neck if one has a medium to larger neck. For me, the headphones ear pieces rest on my throat. It's uncomfortable to me. If the headphone ear pieces would fold out, there'd be less pressure onto the throat. Unfortunately, they don't do that.

The headphones ear pieces are slightly smaller than some others I've used before, yet they still fit on my ears.

The sound quality is average. I would prefer a stronger bass and the lyric portion of the sound to be brought out more.

The sound is fairly balanced. Whether listening to music or talking on the phone, the sound quality is pretty clear and easy to understand.

The headphones are good at canceling outside noises. If music is on, even with low volume or higher, outside noises are not noticeable. If there is no sound coming from the headphones, then outside noises sound very muffled.

Pros:
- Colorful
- Balanced sound 
- Noise cancelling

Cons:
- Headband squeezes my head
- Wish there was more base
- Not able to comfortably have headphones on neck

FSL Reflex Bluetooth Sport Earbuds



I received the FSL Reflex Bluetooth Sport Earbuds through a promotion. 

Product Info:
  • Easy to use
  • Hardcase package 
  • Several different sized rubber eartips 
  • Water resistant 
These bluetooth earbuds come with a variety of eartips. This gives you a choice between the different sizes for the best fitting eartips to help cancel out outside noises and keep the earbuds in the ear. 

These earbuds are slightly too big for my ears. They don't fit or stay in my ears the best, even with the smallest eartip. It's not the eartip that causes the problem for me. It's the earbud piece that's bigger. It makes it stick outside my ear and either catches on my hair or slips out of my ear. If I'm holding still, the headphones stay in fine. I've always had issues with many different headphones due to my smaller ears. Those with medium sized or bigger ears shouldn't have this same problem. 

The headphones are easy to charge. The charging cord plugs into one of the earbuds. The speaker and volume controls of the headphones will have a red indicator light when it's charging and a blue light when it's done. 

The power, place, speaker button on the headphone's wire is what turns on or off these headphones. You have to press the "play" button for several seconds until a pinkish light comes on indicating that it's on. The light will flash red and blue when it's searching for a device. It's fairly easy to connect. 

The sound is very nice. The sound range is wonderful and balanced. There's enough bass to give music depth, yet not too much that it becomes overpowering. The bluetooth connection is strong and keeps the sound quality excellent, but the bluetooth range is short. It only stays up for less than five feet.

Pros:
- Good sound quality
- Balanced
- Good bass
- Easy to connect and use
- Indicator light to show charge
- Variety of eartips

Cons:
- Earbud part is too big that it doesn't fit in my small ears 
- Short bluetooth range

In-Ear Headphones



I received the Fast Jewelry In-Ear Headphones through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Double damping system for a more pure balanced sound
  • Kevlar fiber cable
  • Volume controls compatible with most android phones (Not iOS devices)
The In-Ear Headphones came in a great container that helps protect the headphones when stored or during shipping. Several different sized earbuds came with the headphones at the bottom of the container. The earbuds do help isolate and cancel out any outside sounds. 

The headphones have a thin, fiber like cord. The cord does table easily. It tangles and warps around where the ear pieces separate. It's annoying to deal with, but the cord is flexible and helps protect the wires inside. 

The ear pieces do not list which one is for the right or left ear. They are made to go in separate ears with the way the sound or music is balanced. I could tell the difference right away when I first put them in because I had the earbuds in the wrong ears. I had to switch them quickly before it gave me a headache. 

The sounds fairly balanced when they're in the right ear. The sounds is mostly clear, depending on the songs. I listen to a variety of genres and tried these headphones. Each sounds a bit different. The sound sounds further away or distanced compared to some other headphones I've tried or use. The bass is odd. For some songs, the bass is good if you have the volume up around the medium range. When the volume is down, the bass sounds distorted, quiet, or just really far away. If the volume is up high, sound is distorted and crackles at times. It's not studio quality sound for the headphones. 

For an avid music listen, I wouldn't recommend these headphones. For someone who listens to music occasionally, then these headphones may be okay. 

The speak controls work for both Android and iOS devices. The volume controls only worked on my Android phone. They did not work on any of my iOS devices. 

Pros:
- Packaging 
- Various sized earbuds
- Volume control (for Android) 

Cons:
- Not deep range sound
- Music sounds far away (distant)
- If volume is loud, sound crackles and gets distorted. 
- If volume is quiet, sound is distant and hard to hear, even in a quiet room. 
- Earpieces not marked for which ear (Balance between earbuds are not equal)
- Cord tangles

Heavy Bass Earbuds



I received the FSL AL13 Heavy Bass Earbuds through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Clear stereo sound
  • Big bass
  • Flat cable
  • 3 adjustable sizes of rubber eartips 
  • Blocks out external noise 
The FSL AL13 Heavy Bass Earbuds does provide a deep bass sound. At times the bass can make it hard to hear the lyrics in music or words being said in other videos. The sound is usually fairly clear with a wide range of different tones, sounds, and volumes. They do very well for cancelling out or blocking out external noise. 

The earbuds are labeled for which ear they go into. The ear pieces are a decent size. They're comfortable to wear. They're not too big where it's uncomfortable to lay down on your side with them in. They're not small enough that they fall out of the ears either. The adjustable rubber eartips are easy to put on and work fine. My ears always need the small eartips, and these ones fit great. 

The flat cord is designed to be tangle-resistant. My cord has been tangled a few times, but not as often as other headphones I've had in the past. A lot of times, I can just shake the headphones and cord to get it to loosen up. The cord is a good length as well. 

The first time I used the headphones, I noticed they had gotten warm. I was a little worried that they were always warm when they were in use. I had them plugged in and playing for awhile without them being on or near me. When I touched the earpieces then, they were fine. They seem to absorb some body heat when they're in the ears. 

Note: Careful when opening the package. The rubber eartips may be loose inside the box.

FSL Xylem Headphones



I received the FSL Xylem Headphones through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Made with natural wood housing
  • Silicone tips sizes: S, M, L
  • Comfortable
  • Integrated Microphone
When I received these headphones, I was impressed with the bag the headphones came with. The opening is a snap close. You pinch the edges towards each other to open the bag to get out the headphones. It keeps the headphones in very nicely, so you don't have to worry about the headphones getting lost or tangled. 

The wire of the headphones is made so it doesn't tangle. The wire is a thin, round wire. It's lightweight. On the downside, the jack to go into your device can be touchy. The first few times I tried putting the jack into my iTouch, the right earpiece wouldn't work. Nothing would play out of that ear. I had to try twice more to finally get it to work by taking the jack out and putting it back in. 

The wood chamber or housing of the headphones provide an excellent sound. The bass sounds amazing and deep. The sound quality for the price you pay is wonderful. 

The wood housing of the earphones does stick out a bit from the ear. These aren't the type of headphones I'd use while laying on my side, but for sitting up or laying on my back, they work great. The housing doesn't have marked if it's for the right or left ear though.

Silicon Devices Comfort+ Bluetooth Earphone



I received the Silicone Devices Comfort+ Bluetooth Earphones through a promotion.

Product Info:
  • Wireless
  • Different size covers and ear locks
  • Lightweight
  • Clear sound
  • Cancel white noise 
When I first saw this product, I was a little worried about how well it would fit or stay on and in my ears. I tend to be pretty picky with my headphones because I don't like them slipping, falling out, or hurting my ears.

When the product arrived, I was impressed with the carrying case and what all came with the earphones. The case was the perfect size to keep all the parts to the earphones that help provide the customized fit in one place. 

Out of all the earphones I've tried in the past, this earphone set came with the most covers and ear locks. I was surprised at how much you could customize these earphones to ensure you have the most comfortable fit. 

The openings of my ears happens to be pretty small. The earphone set didn't fit the best in my ears. They stuck out a bit. It's not headphones I would where when I'm listening to music while I'm laying down because I tend to turn onto my sides. The ear locks help make sure the earphones stay in place, so these are earphones I'd wear when I'm up and moving.


Charging the earphones is easy. The product includes a USB charging cord, which is similar to the charging cord of an Android phone. The charging cord is short. There are lights to indicate when it's charging and when it's done on the side of the the earphone with the USB port on it. 

There is a green looking button on the earphones that turns them on, so you can connect them to your phone, tablet, or other device. 

The sound quality of these earphones is very good. It's a clear sound. The mic also works very well. When I've called people while wearing these earphones, they were able to hear me clearly without me having to yell or be very loud.
