I'd heard and read a few things about these online, enough to make me buy a pair.
They're a Chinese make, available form various places online, I got mine from Amazon. You should buy some too.
Firstly, what they're not. If you already have a set of in ear headphones that cost upwards of 100 quid they're not for you. If you don't get on with true "in ear" designs (i.e. you have to shove them right down your ear canal) then they're not for you either.
Fit, like all in ear designs, may take a bit of tweaking. The tips that come with them aren't amazing for me, I'll end up nicking a set of triple flange types from work. That said, your ears may be perfect with them. Also, again like all true in ear types you need to make sure they're the right way round and sealed in correctly. A slight downside is that they have no solid guide to hook the cable over your ear, just a weight on the cables to help pull them downwards. (see attached pic)
Other than that, they're amazing. Superb sound quality, good low end without being overhyped, with mids and highs that aren't particularly harsh. They're only a single driver but have a clarity to the sound that is better than some multi driver IEM's I've tried.
The best bit? They cost 10 quid.
10. Pounds. That is ridiculous.
If you have an iPod/phone/whatever, go throw away they junk they came with and buy some of these. Hell, buy two sets, then if they break of you lose them it won't matter.
Are these the best headphones on the market? No.
Are they the best value bit of kit I've ever bought? Quite possibly...

very nice tutorial. though me personally i'm a bit of an audio freak and i don't see myself being capable of bringing a scapel to a good set of earphones to do this... though you've got me intrigued that's for sure.
I like this solution but I need headphones to SKIP songs. This mod is probaly useless for me. I need Ipod controls with sony's sound

iphone remote is compatible with WP7.
in your case, just get an iphone remote, and mod it and use with ur wp7. LOL
So here's the thing. The earphones that came with my S2 were pretty rubbish, and somehow stopped working after 3 days. So for a long time, i used in Apple In-Ear Earphones that i used with my old iPhone, and they worked great, despite not being designed for anything but Apple hardware. However, last December i lost one ear bud from my last set earbuds (i have now lost one in all three sizes).Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the buds Apple requires are bigger than those used by any other headset, and thus can't be swapped for generic buds. The official replacement ear buds cost ₹1500/-, which is half the price of the headset, which itself was pretty expensive to begin with. I've made do wit some Panasonic earphones off late, but the problem is that it isn't a mobile headset, and thus lacks any kind of mic or buttons.
Could someone recommend me a good set of earphones that has inline controls (preferably with music controls, but it will do if it is compatible with the Headset Button Controller app)? I need one that i can buy from an online store in India, or in the worst case, a store that ships to India. I'm not an audiophile, and don't need, very good audio quality.
I got a an inline adaptor from ebay, has 3 buttons on and a mic, means I can use any headphones I want and it cost me less than a pint of beer. Struggled to find any good headphones with 3 button inline.

Three words that stand out in that title; Cost-effective, sports & bluetooth. All things that I really want for a curricular activity. This set is made to resist moisture such as sweat and rain. It is not a bad option to look into if you are in the market for a bluetooth headset.
The fit was actually one my main concerns. In the past I tried the Motorola set that looks like this set and it was terribly uncomfortable. At the time I was working for a lawn care/ landscaping company as a Crew Leader and needed to be able to answer the phone at any given moment to speak with supervisors and the owner of the company. Before I ventured into the wireless headsets, I well, obviously was using wired sets and ended up tearing up too many to keep up with. Long story short I got tired of paying for new headsets because the number one issue was the wire getting in the way.
When I got a bluetooth headset it was like salvation. I was free! There were no more wires to get in the way, it was easy to wear and I got to listen to music all day long. This is where this headset can come in handy.
Life has changed a bit and I am no longer working for that company, but I do like to go jogging and again the wire was annoying at times. I love not having to worry about a wire. I look forward to using this set for future runs.

Picture is very cool you taken.:good:
The product was sent to me at a discounted price in exchange of a review, and this review is based on my own unbiased opinion.
This Havit headset is pretty unique compared to other sport headphones I've tried, such as the M-Pow Swift due to one reason - it's more compact and have smaller earpieces. To me this is a great feature, and therefore I decided to have a look at this product.
So the product arrived in a packaging that's very similar to the rest of Havits products and looks really nice, and it feels like they've been putting some serious attention to the packaging. It gave me a really good initial expression.
Other than the earphones, there was a generic MicroUSB cable, some additional pairs of rubber tips and a wearing case. I really like the wearing case and it feels like real leather, but I suspect it's made out of some kind of rubber.
The actual earphones are kind of stylish as well, and they fit perfectly fine in the ear and I really like the design of these. They work better than most sport headphones I've tried, as most of them become very uncomfortable after some time.
Soundwise they sound pretty good, but there's some things that they lack in terms of the sound quality that pulls down my rating by 1 star. These earphones have a bit too much treble and I personally don't like that, but for people that are into treble it may be good. Other than that, they've got a nice punchy bass and the sound is very clear.
I'm very satisfied with these headphones, but due to the treble I'm giving them a 4/5 stars as it pulls down the rating slightly in my opinion.

Having read your review,i search the gadget on website,and it's much cheaper on tinydeal than it on amazon.But your review is still good .
Over the years, Bluetooth speakers became an essential part of my life. I can't imagine going on holidays without having one in my backpack. One of the new devices has caught my attention, so I decided to give it a try. EarFun or earfün (how I löve German letters) has recently released its new speaker Go. Below you can find my impressions after using this device for over a week.
EarFun Go has a pretty standard shape, which fits nicely in my hand. The device has a very short leash, which could be a bit longer to make the grip even more reliable. The device is controlled using five buttons - power, Bluetooth, all-in-one to control the audio and calls, and of course, volume rockers. The all-in-one is a pleasant and efficient way of managing the device, although it takes a while to learn all the combinations.

When it comes to connectivity, battery life, and sound quality, I can't say a bad thing about Go. The device can be connected via Bluetooth or standard mini-jack cable. You can charge it using your phone's USB-C cable. According to the producer, the charging should take ~4 hours. The battery lasts up to 24 hours, but in all honesty, I didn't have a chance to test its efficiency. Sound is clear and relatively loud. Surprisingly, you can play your favorite hits to the fish, as the IPX7 rating allows you to use the device in shallow water for half an hour. I tested it in a bowl, and it worked perfectly (if you listen to the music underwater)
I can easily recommend EarFun Go if you are looking for a relatively cheap and reliable speaker. 8/10.
You can get it for 40 bucks on Amazon.
Never heard of the brand before.
