KINDEN Air Tube Earbuds Headphone Binaural Earphones with Microphone Noise Cancelling for Phone,Pad,Pod,HTC,Sony,Mp3 Players

So I have had these for five months now and and they work great. For the price you cant beat it. Looking at getting another pair with USB-C interface now. The reviews were at a 3.5 of 5 when I got them but for the price I thought I would try them. They fit well and sound good. Not as good as say a $200 pair of headphones but for a 1/10 of the price it hard to beat.

**update** the last pair of headphones I got as a replacement lasted less than a month, one earbud stopped working. When I contacted the seller, they told me they would not do anything about it since they had “already replaced it once”. I will not be purchasing these again and I’m still waiting for a resolution, hopefully a refund, but at this point, it doesn’t seem like neither the seller nor Amazon wanna do anything about it. I really like the concept of these, and the option to not have any extra EMFs near your head. The sound quality is different than regular headphones, at first, but I easily got used to it and didn’t mind. The downside is that after 3-5 months of use one ear bud stopped working, closely followed by the other. I purchased again, only to have the same exact thing happen. I realized they advertise a one year warranty, and when I chatted in, the rep offered me a 30% discount. I replied that, no, I did not want a discount, but a replacement as per their warranty, and that if I had seen that, I would not have bought the second pair. They told me they would do that for me “this time” but to be advised that their warranty is now three months. So once this pair breaks down I will not be buying these again.

I’m not sure why these have a low rating; I’m assuming it’s because people think they should get $1,600 quality out of an $18 earbud. I’ve purchased two pairs of these in the last seven years and they work great for rainbow six siege. Obviously you would get better directional audio if you had in ear monitors with ten drivers, but you can still pin point sounds with these ear buds and perform well.

What I like is reducing my exposure to Electric Magnetic Field (EMF) radiation at a budget price. Does the shielding provided by Kinden work? I don't know, and I don't have the tools to detect such radiation. But, I am certain that moving any speaker magnets (and Bluetooth recievers) out of my ears and farther from my brain is a good thing. Using my cell phone in "speaker mode" and leaving it in a desk or countertop nearby may work even better, but compromises the privacy of any conversation I may be having. But, let's eliminate any confusion. This Kinden Air Tube headset is not "noise cancelling." And, no one should expect that technology anywhere near this price range. These earbuds are not even effective at noticeably reducing ambient sound... and that is fine with me. Every conversation (whether by telephone, radio or face to-face) in my life has occurred without the benefit of noise cancellation. So, though I gave a "One Star" rating for noise cancellation (because Amazon does not offer zero stars), Kinden needs to remove this rating category. It's like asking how well a rice-cooker clears sidewalks of snow... it unfairly pulls this product's overall rating down. True "noise cancellation" is an active process that generates sound specifically targeted to cancel out other unwanted sounds. "Comfort" of this headset is roughly what I expected... and, the same as I have experienced with every pair of earbuds I have tried. Having earbuds in my ears is never "wonderful" but it is something I eventually get used to. "Sound quality" is satisfactory. I did not (and no one else should) expect hi-fidelity reproduction of symphonic performances from a headset priced this low. I just want to understand what someone is saying during a phone call while they can also hear me clearly. Or listen to audio that accompanies a YouTube video, without keeping my spouse awake. Kinden Air Tube Earbud headset delivers that, without EMF radíation, at a reasonable price. My only complaint is that, when packed, Kinden included a zippered, clam-shell case with an "alligator clip" and three spare/alternative-sized gels (soft, interchangeable covers or tips that are inserted into the ear canal). Instead of one pair each of small, medium and large gels, my case held a zip-sealed bag with three small, two medium and one large gel. A minor annoyance. I preferred the smallest gels; and within a week, I'd forgotten what I did with the four I wasn't using.

I just placed an order for my 4th pair of Kinden headphones this year (explains their new 3 month warranty). I've tried literally all of the EMF headphones on Amazon (& a few that aren't here) & these are my favorite. I find them comfortable with decent sound quality & maybe 80% noise canceling. But right at about 3 months, one bud stops working & the other follows shortly after. So, I get 4 pair for $80 instead of 1 pair. Don't know what inside stops working (the noise gets muffled & eventually disappears entirely) or why they can't find a fix, but they are great headphones for the price. But yeah, they don't last. Subscribe & save would be a nice option.

These earbuds have great sound and clear. I only give them a 4 for comfort because I have one ear that they don't fit great in so keeps falling out, but it could just be my ears. I think I must have small ears because I'm using the smallest size. Overall though, they are great and I've already ordered a second pair.

I like knowing it is likely a safer way to use my phone but the volume seems low and the sound quality isn't the greatest. The sound is muffled. Also, the headphones don't stay in the ear very well. Update: One side of the cable broke off. Poor quality.

I like these and hope they work longer than the 2 months another more expensive version with a USB-C connector I purchased at the same time did. Thankfully, since the Amazon 30-day return policy expired, I did get Amazon to provide a free replacement and return under the manufacturer's 1 year warranty period. I'll update this review if these fail also.
