Obviously you are just buying these to listen to music without being written up at work. Ear pro is required at all times at my shop so I wear these 60 hours a week. I've bought dozens over the years. They wont last more than three months before the wire starts to break or the foam starts to fall apart. I remember when these sold for $9 a pop and even that was too much for the sound quality you get but you're paying to not get harassed by the safety guy and you can't put a price on that. As long as you do a good job of hiding the extra wire the man will never catch on. Cut a small hole in the pocket of your pants so you can just drop the wire down your shirt and feed it straight into your pocket. Run the wire through the tag loop of your shirt so if you have to take them out they wont fall all the way down your shirt.

Before we even had approved earphones I was already using these, still do. You would think the sound would be muffled due to the foam but it's super clear. I ripped open an old pair and there's a come l cone that leads all the way up to the rear hole. Makes it kinda hard to get all the way in but it works. They are very comfortable and I can wear them much longer than my bluetooth ear buds. I've gone through many pairs. On my fourth because the jack. I tried to buy replacement Jack's and fix myself but found it difficult so I'll just keep buying. It's worth it though. I get around 3 or more months. Can't work without them and I can wear in front of managers and they have no idea, plus the sound isn't restricted like the work approved ones.

I am someone who has bought multiple pairs of these, due to wear & tear over the course of a few years I've known of this product. And at that, multiple pairs of the different styles this company offers.I can honestly say, they didn't start out with the greatest quality in general overall. But over the years they have improved here or there. Whether it be the sound quality or their durability.Now I'm going to say, not every plug phone set made by this company is created equal, & that includes sets of the same style. I have ordered a pair, & straight out of the box, one of the plugs didn't have sound(was defective) this has happened 3 times. 2/3 was with the orange foam pair,the otberI have experience with 3 different styled pairs, and they each have their own pros and cons. I would also like to add that I have noticed that the company making these have continued to improve them over time in some way, please keep this in mind.The sets i have experience with are the yellow rubber ones, the yellow floam ones, and the orange foam ones.The yellow rubber ones seem to be the most delicate with pulling and pushing into the ear canal. Handle these with care. I have enjoyed the sound of these the most. I also found they are the most comfortable. The cord for this pair is shorter than the other 2 of not equal to the length of the yellow foam style. The thing most common to stop working is the sound in one lf the ear pieces due to the cord being delicate as well. Size wise would refer this style to most of the population as they are also the most flexible ear pieces.The yellow foam style have lasted me the longest between the 3. This set has the best balance between size, comfort, sound, and durability between the other 2 previously mentioned. The cord is the same length as the yellow rubber set. But the cord is of a plastic material that doesn't catch as easily on clothes.The orange foam pair are a bit larger in size than the other 2, yes even when squishing the foam down. I recommend these for people who have a slightly larger ear canal. The comfort for me b/c, they were a bigger size only, was uncomfortable. This pair seems to have been the most durable, unless you were unlucky enough to get a pair with one defective ear piece. The sound on these i find aren't as good as the other 2, but for me that could've been b/c theu didn't fit properly. This set has the longest cord of the 3 & it is made out of a common shiny plastic material that doesn't catch on anything, except if you're sweating, it may catch against your skin then.I don't recall the yellow rubber set coming with extra covers, but that's a bit fuzzy and i may be wrong. The 2 foam sets do most definitely come with extra foam pieces to change out of. The foam ones do dirty a bit faster.I sadly haven't exactly had a 100% success rate at changing out the ear pieces. It ks not recommended. If you can ride out the pair until you may need a new one, it's easier to just do that.Now as for the part of the cord that plugs into your audio device. This has changed and varied in quality & appearance over time. I have had sets where this part of the cord went and either stopped working all together or only worked by bending it a certain way. As stated above not all sets/and styles are madr equally. And this wear and tear could happen on any set/style.

I bought these to ride on my motorcycle and cut out the wind noise so I can listen to music and calls and radio works ok have not been able to extensively test them yet as it's still too cold but for the bits I have they block sound and play music pretty ok. UPDATE 4/25/25 - I have ridden quite a while with these now and I am dropping to 3 stars. These do work but are quite difficult to get a good seal when they work they work great the sound isn't the loudest but is good enough. Another review said there is a fat rubber part that makes it difficult to get into your ear and I agree somewhat it does make it hard to put these in your ear deep enough to get them to work perfect. overall I think I am going to switch to a different set of earbuds until I find something that works perfect for me. These may work for you and do work for me just to much to fidget with when going for a quick ride or when stopping in a store or something.
