GOgrooveAudiOHM HF Earbud Headphones with Mic, Deep Bass, & Comfortable Ear Gels (Blue) in-Ear Earphones Featuring Noise Isolating Design, Durable Alloy Driver Housing, Ergonomic Angled Fit

I have owned dozens and dozens of pairs of earbuds, headphones, and headsets over the years. Within 2 years of purchase, something about each of these pair will have malfunctioned or gone missing in the following ways: 1) one or both of the buds will have quit working entirely; 2) the inner wires will have snapped; 3) the jack will no longer conduct power; 4) one of the components necessary for wearing the earbuds will have fallen off and cannot be put back on; 5) one of the components will have fallen off and gone missing; 6) it becomes impossible to replace the missing components because these items are not separately available, thereby rendering the earbuds unusable unless one purchases an entirely new set and uses the old pair for cannibalisation purposes only; 7) anything else not having fit in the above possibilities.I freely admit to being somewhat of a music snob. I have been singing and/or creating music my entire life so it has led to my having a rather discerning ear. I know what things should and shouldn't sound like. As such, it becomes almost physically painful for me to listen to something that is not presented to its fullest potential, i.e. the broadest and richest possible sound spectrum.Three years ago, I went back to school and needed a new set of earbuds to listen to my coursework material, so I went on amazon and purchased this same set in black.I left the following review on that product after over a year of hard, prolonged use: "These are literally the best budphones I have ever owned, bar none. The sound truly surrounds you; it's as if you're in a concert hall listening to the music. The bass is beautiful and the buds FIT MY EAR CANAL! I have never, repeat--never--been able to find a pair of budphones that didn't fall out of my ears/pop out/etc. I have extremely small ear canals and this is the first time I've ever been able to find a pair which fit! For only 9.99, I have made one of the best purchases of my life! Thank you, AudiOHM and Amazon!"After another year and a half of even heavier use than in the past, the awesomeness of these earbuds cannot be overstated. NOTHING about them has quit working; they have kept going strong, despite hours and hours and hours of sustained and continual use. They never become painful in the ear canal no matter how long I've worn them (and I even wear them while I sleep to help relax me) they only come out of my ear canal when I have accidentally pulled on the cord. The noise-cancellation aspect is extraordinary owing to their innovative and ergonomic shape, and nothing about the sound presentation has become obnoxious or tinny or unpleasant, as happens with so many other brands after a certain period of usage.When my expensive pair of professional headphones broke this summer, I had to use my Gogroove budphones out of desperation and necessity. At the time I had no money to purchase a replacement professional headset, and I had to have SOMEthing exceptional with which I could continue creating and remixing music and sound files so I could keep up with my DJ and audio-producing projects.I am happy to say that I continued with these activities with virtually no loss of musical productivity or quality on my part. Treat your earbuds well and they will treat you well in return. It is rather shocking to think that such an inexpensive and otherwise inconsequential purchase has led to so much good, but there you have it. Even three years later, my original $10 purchase is still going strong and is not even showing signs of stopping. You GO, groove.

Prior to owning the audiOHM HF earbuds, I used the iconic white Apple earbuds as my mobile headphones. I also own a large boom-mic gaming headset with phenomenal sound quality, so I have a good frame of reference to review this product from a non-audiophile perspective.First off, ergonomics and form: It seems like standard earbuds (like the Apple iPod/iPhone set) aren't designed to stick in your ear as much as they are designed to "hang" there in the opening. I find it to be incredibly stupid - if they're not shoved in just right, you get audio leaks and lose sound quality. On the other hand, if you jam it in there as deep as you can, it's painful and probably won't stay there for long. The audiOHM avoids that glaring design flaw by implementing a roughly 35-degree bend on the sound port. This, combined with a flexible rubber cup on the end, allows the audiOHM to stick deeper into the ear canal than traditional headphones while maintaining solid contact and a proper seal. This contributes greatly to audio quality, which I will discuss in the next section. My wife uses regular old cheap-o headphones and never complained about the fit, but as soon as she tried on my new pair of audiOHMs, she instantly wanted a set for herself.Sound quality: As I mentioned previously, the tighter, deeper seal of the audiOHMs is not only comfortable, but also greatly improves the audio quality. My music seems louder and fuller than traditional headphones that fail to seal the entire ear canal. Outside noise is also greatly reduced versus the Apple pair. I believe it may also contribute to the better bass effect over the Apple set, but let's face it, Apple headphones just plain suck for anything except phone calls. Mid-range on the audiOHMs is clear and crisp, I don't notice any abnormal hissing on the high-end (I expected a little - let's be realistic here), and the bass is deep and rich for such small, comfortable, and inexpensive headphones.The integrated microphone is just icing on the cake and the awesomely low pricetag is the ice cream on the side!These are the best earbuds I've ever owned. Barring some freak washing machine accident, I can see myself owning this pair for a long, long time.Closing words: If you're an audiophile, don't bother, because you're not going to get the same experience from this that you get from those luxury sets that are ten times the price. If you're a hipster, don't bother, because these aren't very kitsch. If you're a rapper, don't bother, because these aren't made by Dr. Dre. If you're just looking for comfortable high-quality earbuds that won't break the bank, buy these! You won't be disappointed!

Simply: Excellent sound quality and excellent fit.Ton of bass, when needed. Very comfortable. Don't what else to say: Excellent!I don't understand the few low rating/negative reviews, but I guess that says more about the reviewers ;-)

Il massimo del suono per pochi euro. E' il secondo paio di cuffiette auricolari che compro e dopo averle perse le ho ricomprate uguali perché ero pienamente soddisfatto secondo tutti gli aspetti possibili. Il suono è ottimo, con un'incredibile gamma bassa.

Perfecta y clara audición. Sólo me hubiese gustado que el cable fuese más grueso... Es demasiado delgado, y así supongo que se romperá pronto. Es una lástima.

Me han gustado bastante aunque de vez en c yendo se vuelven locos y no terminar de tener la conexión deseada

The cable literally broke so badly near the beginning of the cable 3 days after receiving it that there was no saving it! I haven't even bend the cable! How's that "durable" :x?!The best thing is that I've previously used a pair of their cheaper earphones and used them for well over a year without any issues. Terrible quality! Sound is amazing, but like I've mentioned above go with the cheaper version. The sound quality it produces is identical and they're actually much more "durable" then the ones they call "durable".Not recommended.PS. I've bought them a while back, but didn't have the time to review them until now.
