House of Marley Smile Jamaica In-Ear Headphones - Sustainably Crafted, Eco-Friendly, Noise Isolating Wired Earphones, 9.2mm Driver, Tangle-Free Cable, 1 Button Microphone Control - Signature Black

The Great Earbud Tip Conspiracy (and why these buds are still a winner!)Alright, buckle up, audiophiles and the easily amused, because I'm about to drop some truth bombs about these earbuds. And trust me, if I'm leaving good feedback, they truly earned it. Almost a 4-star, nearly banished to the 'disappointed' pile, but they clawed their way back!My initial unboxing experience was less "🎶 bliss" and more "🤔 huh?". With only one size of silicone earbud tip staring back at me, I thought, "Seriously? Do they think all earlobes are forged from the same mold?!". One side was a perfect fit (turns out, a medium), but the other? My ear was practically rejecting it, like a bouncer at a club refusing entry. I rummaged through my house like a mad scientist, desperately seeking a smaller tip, finally unearthing one from a forgotten drawer. I was on the verge of reluctantly buying replacement tips, feeling utterly betrayed by the universe (and the earbud manufacturers).But then, just as I was about to hit "add to cart," a glimmer of hope! A quick re-read of the description confirmed my suspicion: they promised more than one pair. And lo and behold, after a forensic investigation worthy of Sherlock Holmes, I discovered a tiny, cleverly hidden compartment in the box. Inside? A perfectly sized small pair! My frustration instantly melted into a mix of relief and mild embarrassment. Crisis averted, and my earlobe rejoiced!Now, onto the important bit: the sound. Oh. My. Goodness. These aren't just good; they're spectacular. They effortlessly outclass my trusty 20-year-old Sony wired buds (some fiend liberated them from my possession, may their karma be swift and earbud-less. Seriously, what kind of git steals another person's perfectly broken-in earphones?!). But here's the kicker: they even sound better than my much-pricier Sony WH-1000XM headphones! When a track is designed to have sound bounce from left to right, these buds deliver it with a precision and spaciousness that the Sonys just don't capture. It's like my ears are at a private concert.The Not-So-Silent Treatment (and why it's okay)Now, for a small, slightly less dramatic niggle: noise isolation. This is where the Sony WH-1000XM headphones strut back into the spotlight, because these little beauties don't quite block out the world with the same gusto. Car traffic, for instance, is still perfectly audible unless you crank the volume up way past the "doctor-recommended" level. Do that on a crowded train, and not only will you be giving everyone a free concert of your questionable music choices, but you'll also be risking your hearing for the sake of blissful ignorance. Honestly, I'd rather companies didn't make false claims about noise isolation; it's not needed or welcomed!But here's where these earbuds truly shine: quiet locations, or those sweltering hot days when you just don't want your ears encased in a sweaty leather-and-plastic cocoon. For those moments, they are absolutely perfect. And make no mistake, despite this minor point, these are definite keepers. To be fair, a bit of ambient background noise isn't always a bad thing — it can be a lifesaver for situational awareness (like hearing that rogue scooter coming your way!). So, while I might have initially considered knocking off a star for the noise isolation, I won't. That pretty much compensates for my initial lack of box-checking prowess!Plus, they deserve extra stars for their commitment to eco-friendliness! Even the ties for the cables are made of rope rather than plastic and wire. How's that for a thoughtful touch?So, despite the brief, dramatic quest for a properly fitting earbud tip, and the minor noise isolation "quirk," these are an absolute triumph. If you're looking for phenomenal sound, appreciate a bit of ambient safety, and don't mind a little scavenger hunt in the box, these are definitely worth every penny. Just... check all the compartments first, okay?

These buds might be cheap (i got mine for £11.99, trust me they sound amazing. A bit bassy, but there "House of Malrley" so that's to be expected. It's not overpowering, the mids & highs are all good.

£10 for 9 months daily use with actually good sound quality.Got on 25 of April, lasted till 26th of January. The wire that connects to the earpiece has started to go as I can hear electrical crackling when moving the wire now.Honestly very decent earphones. Value for money is amazing considering it’s a pound per month practically. Very light weight. Cable length good and long. Just clearly not too durable. Ear puds had size choices. My ears cannot stand hard apple ear phones and I’m very fussy with finding just the right size bud so it stays in my ear - these suited great!Would maybe get again tbh.

Great,Quality just what needed.

I have purchased many pairs of the House of Marley Smile Jamaica In-Ear Headphones and have been extremely impressed with their performance every time. Whilst I've lost many pairs I've never had them break on me which is remarkable. The headphones are sustainably crafted and eco-friendly, which is a big plus for me as someone who cares about the environment.The earbuds fit snugly in the ear, blocking out a lot of background noise and allowing me to focus on my music and podcasts. The 9.2mm drivers deliver clear, powerful sound, and the tangle-free cable is a nice added convenience.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of the House of Marley Smile Jamaica In-Ear Headphones. They are stylish, sustainable, and deliver great sound quality. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new pair of wired earphones.

So, for the price, I shouldn't have complaints.But it's worth noticing that it is the kind of headphones the person sitting next to you on public transport will hear what you are listening to.In terms of sound quality, I will say that while new pop music songs sound decent enough, the sound gets very distorted when listening to music with a prominent bass like Dub or when the recording is old school.For phone calls it's quite good, the design is nice, and again it was very affordable.

Been my go to in ear headphones for my teams calls since 2018. I tend to replace them after every 2 years and for the quality you get, its worth the money!Mic quality is effective, sound quality is also effective. I'm not an audiophile but I do like to listen to music, have constant teams/conference calls and never have an issue. Lightweight and if I do break them, they are easy to replace.

Bought these for my son and he can't praise them enough. He is a musician that plays ska/reggae/hip-hop/indie tunes and finds some headphones too "bassy". These have a clear quality sound and great levels. Wires don't tangle and have a great feel. Will definitely buy again when he undoubtedly loses them!
