Linklike Quad Dynamic Drivers Headphones Extra Bass Hi-Res Air-flow Noise Isolating Wired Earphones with Microphone, Lightweight Earbuds with Volume Control 3.5mm Jack In-Ear Headphones(Bright Black)

This is actually the first Amazon review I have ever written, despite being a member since 2002! However, I'm writing it because I feel I can confidently 'put on hold' my quest to find the best wired open/earpod 'in-ear' style headphones with a remote.To give some context, I listen to a HUGE amount of audiobooks- I listen to them whist commuting, sometimes at work (if doing something mundane), in the evenings, and to get to sleep at night- I've always got a pair of headphones hanging around my neck!Because of this, I've accumulated a massive array of headphones, both wired and bluetooth. These include premium ones such as the Sony WF-1000xm3, the WI-1000xm2 (both of which I use for commuting) and the WH-1000xm3 (and not buying the xm4...yet ;-) ) to cheaper 'under £30' brands for daily use. I love wired headphones because you don't have to worry about charging.So, for the linklike Classic 2. My first experience was not great- I loved them, but they stopped working after 2 days- however, these were the 1st generation. I hasten to add that rather than returning them, I reached out to 'Elsa' (Linklike support), who, with no questions asked, sent me a pair of the 'updated' Classic 2's. They have been in my ears ever since!You can tell this is a smallish company, with a handful of products, where they want to put the customer experience first, and take on feedback to improve their products- the updated earphones I received were much sturdier and despite wearing them in bed, getting the wires caught on door handles, etc, show no wear/malfunction at all.I love them because, they are:- made out of a metal alloy- the rubber tips work well- very well made- Sound fantastic- The remote is android and iOS compatible- The mic works well for calls and is nice and clear (apparently)- Allow me to be aware of surroundings as they are 'earpod' style rather than in-ear.I love them so much that I have purchased Linklike's 16 hour bluetooth headphones and their new 'in-ear' wired headphones. I haven't had the chance to try them yet, but I'll review them when I do- I expect them to be of a similar high standard to these!Thank you Linklike and Elsa for stopping me buying endless pairs of wired headphones when the current ones fail- I can now stop searching! I know if I ever run into any issues, 'Elsa' will sort them out with a prompt response :-)

I picked these up in a sale and was expecting them to just about do the job but was very impressed with what I got.The design and feel of them is great although they can be a little uncomfortable in the ear (without the rubber accessories on) I found the two sets of rubber covers to be very well made if a little fiddly to put over the earpiece and cover with the hook became a little frustrating to put in my ear at times.The earphones themselves are easy to put in my ear, the can be a little uncomfortable at times but only when I've been wearing them for a long time.I'm no sound expert but compared to the free akg ones Samsung provide the quality is unquestionable, sounds are clear and well defined with good balance between left and right plus the noise cancelling does a decent job at blocking out noisey flatmates.I was most surprised with the quality of the mic (according to people I called while using these) they picked up my voice very well and I was able to still be heard when I was whispering. There was no white noise at all for both my end and the person on the other end.My only issue is with them is the volume control, occasionally the buttons won't respond when pressed and it is very difficult to differentiate between the three with touch alone.That being said if you are after a good all round set of earphones you can't do much better than these for the price.

These were bought for cycling and commuting– which I do a lot. For years I have worn earbuds but over the last 6 months have suffered from ear infections, the cause of which seems to have been overusing said earbuds. Given that I wear a helmet my normal Bluetooth Sony or Sennheiser over-ear headphones were of little use. I tried some good quality iPod-type in-ear Bluetooth headphones but found, on long journeys, the battery life was simply not up to it. I also tried some open, “on-ear” headphones but these simply lacked audio quality. Since then I have gotten through a fair few cheaper headphones but have enjoyed none of them. These were my last pair at this price range and simply decided to look for something more expensive – despite the fact that finding these types of earphones, of good quality, was more difficult than I first thought.Anyway, I am more than pleased with this. I was worried, due to the emphasis on “base” in the description that these might be muddy or at best V-shaped in the usual manner of better budget, so-called “Chifi” However, that is far from the case, these have a much more consumer-friendly studio monitor quality to sound reproduction. Vocals are as prominent as they should be and are not hidden. The sound stage is wide enough, with a little height. Sound separation is excellent for this price. As too, is sensitivity. Take, for example, the opening of the Doobie Brothers' “Listen To The music”. On budget, and indeed some mid and higher ranger headphones, it can appear that the guitar is playing only from the right-hand speaker. However, listen on better headphones and there is a slight sound (movement on the frets?) on the left. These pick that up easily.All music sounds good on these from “Arch Enemies” new album to the remastering of the Solti/Culshaw Das Rheingold.A nicely packaged surprising number of accessories, including a small storage bag. I would have loved to have had replacement cables – given the quality and tunning of the drivers -, but perhaps that is asking to much at this price point.Highly, highly, recommended.
