Hi-Res Noise Cancelling Sports Earbuds with Hook MINDBEAST

These ear buds deliver such beautiful sound. They came with plenty of ear pieces to help make the buds fit in place well. They block out noise and have a good volume control. They are worth every penny I spent!

Before I begin my review, please note that I am going to be biased in my opinions. I've had Bose earbuds for over seven years, but they've done away with the wired earbuds, which I use on my PC, so I'm looking for new earbuds to replace them.These earbuds seem to be made of decent quality material. I like the ear nub (I specifically look for them so they stay in my ear-holes better). The audio quality is pretty average. It sounds a bit tinny to me compared to the Bose I've had previously. They dampen the surrounding noise (when you use the correctly sized ear piece), but I wouldn't call them "noise cancelling". Overall, they're not bad for the price.

Updated Review: Three stars simply because of the false noise canceling claim. I got these earbuds simply because I frequently travel on aircraft and wanted some earbuds that weren't very expensive but also wouldn't get destroyed in my backpack. I must assert first that these ARE NOT noise cancelling earbuds, as they claim. I see other reviews where people say the noise cancelling is good. There is NO noise cancelling. By that reasoning rolled up cotton balls are noise cancelling. Any earbud that sits in your ear is going to reduce ambient noise by partially sealing the ear canal. That doesn't make it noise cancelling. Alright, having said all that, these earbuds work fine. I am not a music aficionado. I just watch occasional movies and listen to the radio. These seem as good as any other earbuds in the price range. The cord seems sturdier than most and the case is very good for protecting them from damage. If you want a set of earbuds that actually cancel noise but don't cost a lot then look at these: Audio-Technica ATH-ANC33iS. They are only $35 on Amazon and actually do have electronic noise cancelling.

I am very pleased with the sound quality and "noise cancelation" aspect of these earbuds. I use these for air travel and they work great for me. Though it's not active noise cancelation, the different sizing of ear bud adapters can be chosen for a snug fit.The fit is great and caused many a flight attendent to grimace because I did not notice or hear them speaking to me, so watch out for that as it requires extra consideration since the snug fit does deaden the surrounding noise.I'm happy with the value, it's a great price and super product.

I bought these after reading many reviews from people who either have no idea what decent sound is, or who work for the company that makes these. I did not expect much for the price, but thought it might be one of those rare finds that actually delivers high-quality for a low price. I have never been more wrong. These ear buds sound just as bad as you would expect an under $25 audio product to sound. They are not wise cancelling and only delivered any sense of bass reproduction if I help my hands over them and squeezed them into my ear. This is of course a poor way to listen to music. Though it is certainly an unfair comparison, I went back and forth between these and my Bose earbuds and I can tell you the difference is like night and day.

I still own an iPad shuffle, which requires wired earbuds. They sound great and they’re noise canceling, so they’re perfect for the gym. I’m very happy with my purchase.

There is no ambient noise cancellation. The fit is acceptable, and the sound quality is slightly better than the free headphones provided on flights. The true noise cancelling ear buds come with a circuit and chargeable battery.

About three months ago, I bought a set of Mindbeast earbuds to use when I'm gardening and working outside. I just wanted something cheap and serviceable. At the same time, I bought a fairly high-end set of earbuds ($120), intending to use those on conference calls and for music while working at my computer. After receiving both sets, I found that I needed only the Mindbeasts. I couldn't tell a bit of difference between the two sets -- sound fidelity, noise reduction, and comfort were the same. The Mindbeasts also stay put, so I can move around without having to constantly adjust the fit.And the sound quality of the Mindbeasts -- wow! On the first day I used them, I was doing some weeding in a garden bed. I was listening to some quiet acoustic music with ambient nature sounds. It was a sunny day, and I was startled by the sound of rain -- or maybe a sprinkler hose. I looked around me and didn't see anything. As soon as I went back to work, I heard it again. Looking around, I still didn't see anything. I then took off my earbuds to look some more, when I realized the water sound had stopped. The sound was coming from the recording! Never before had I experienced such a high level of sound quality that I mistook a recording for live sound. Very impressive.

Very good quality headset, Shape of the holding portion that fits inside the ear holds comfortably in place with no discomfort.
