Marsno M2 Wired in Ear Headphones, Earbuds, Full Metal Earphones with Mic and Volume Control, High Definition, Noise Isolating, Deep Bass, Ergonomic Design &Crystal Clear Sound,3.5mm Jack,Red Housing

I spent a stupid amount of time searching for a new pair of earphones. Seriously I spent 2+ hours searching and comparing earphones. TL/DR; Buy these earphones. They are the best bang for your buck, the durable metal construction is something you might expect on headphones costing X4 as much. The sound is great and their ability to keep out ambient sound is awesome. Volume and song control A++ My previous pair were the JVC HAFX5V. These are great earphones and only $8. Light, comfortable, good sound, fun colors. The only problem was the durability and lack of controls. I stuff my earphones in my pockets a lot and I am rough with them, using them almost daily. The thin cord inevitably gives way and you lose sound in one ear or the other and you have to do the flippy dance with the cord hoping to regain connection. This usually happens at about the one year mark. I figured I would invest about double or even triple that if it meant I wouldn't have to keep re-buying earphones and for the increased upfront cost I was hoping to get an increase in sound quality. My requirements were: 1. $30 or under 2. Volume control 3. Song control, skip song and previous song selection 4. Mic for talking on the phone 5. Durable construction 6. Not too heavy since I wear them 8+ hours a day that fatigues my ear There were only a few earphones that fit the bill and Marsno M2's were one of them. They also offered a 1 year satisfaction guarantee. They are made of metal, they seem durable, and they have all the controls I wanted. They are marginally heavier, but not excessive. The sound is slightly crisper and cleaner than my JVC's and definitely some more bass, but these are earphones so don't expect anything crazy. The construction is clean, simple, and durable. They fit deeper in your ear canal and block out surrounding noise X10 better than my previous JVC’s. I don’t have to crank the volume up to drown noise out. I love that these are all metal, the cord is thicker and the controls are even housed in a metal casing that is black so that it doesn’t stand out. Very simple, sleek, minimal look that I appreciate. The controls alone sold me on them once I used them. These controls only work on some players keep that in mind. Previous song - 3 clicks of center button Skip song - 2 clicks of center button Both controls work on the Pulsar Music Player Spotify only recognized the double click Pandora only pauses songs, no skip or previous song controls recognized I have yet to try the mic, and I'll see if I can program the controls for Spotify or Pandora somehow.

I received my headphones two days ago and I really wanted to get a feel for them before writing a review, and this is what I found. Let's start with the packaging; when I opened the mailer that my headphones came in I was pleasantly surprised to find a shrink wrapped box. After removing the shrink wrap I slid the outer cover off of the packaging and found the headphones neatly seated in a soft foam insert at the top of the packaging. At the bottom of the package was a small box with the headphones name "M2" on it, and in the small box was a super soft carrying bag for the headphones. There were also 2 different sized tips to change out for the medium ones that came on the headphones, and a clip to attach to the wire and clip to your shirt. By the time I pulled the headphones out of the foam I was already impressed and thought that the packaging had a really premium feel to it, but then I saw the plastic cover over the 3.5mm connection and I knew it was premium. Most companies will not take the time to design such a nice package for a product under $20 and those companies take the same approach with their products. I could tell that the headphones were going to be good before using them just based on the packaging alone. After pulling out the headphones I also noticed the Velcro strap that was tethered to the wire for keeping the headphones neat when not in use. This was very unexpected but totally great, and I love the fact that the Velcro is tethered to the wire because otherwise it would never get any use. After using my M2's for a couple days I found the quality of the speakers to be absolutely incredible for something under $20, there was no distortion from too much bass and voices sounded incredibly clear. The microphone does an excellent job at blocking out the white noise around me and my voice was coming though perfectly clear when talking to others on the phone. I used them while playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider on Windows 10 with my Xbox One controller, and they worked right away once I plugged them into my controller. The sound was crisp and clear throughout the game, and although I did not use the microphone during the game it did show up in the sound settings as soon as I plugged the headphones into the controller. In conclusion; if you need a really good pair of headphones to listen to music, videos, or even to play video games, and you don't have the money to spend on all the really expensive ones that are out there, then you need to get a pair of these. Even a plain Xbox One headset licensed by Microsoft costs $10 on Amazon, so this is such a better deal. For $7 more you get to hear in stereo during game play instead of using just one speaker, and these are definitely more premium than an Xbox headset because those things break very easily. The only issue that I had with mine were the tips; I had to change the tips from the medium (default) ones to the small ones so they would fit better in my ears, but it seemed really hard to get the tips to go onto the headphones. I suppose this is so they make sure when they are on they don't come off, but it did take me like 30 seconds to get each one on. Other than that these are outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone.

As a casual music listener and gamer, I would like to share what I think about this product. I will be also comparing this product to the previous generation Marsno M1. The product comes with a slide case. Inside, there is a earphone and a small box containing four things: Manual, Happy or Unhappy Survey Card, Different Ear tips with one ear grip pair, and lastly, the manual. MATERIAL The quality of the earphone lines are plastic and the top head part is metal. The rubber cable is seems same as M1. The texture seems more roughened for M2 (maybe is its just my feels). The metal part is very nice when you put into your ears. Compare to other brands using plastic, the head metal material so you will fill tucked in and feel the weight in your ears. SOUND Compare to M1 earphones: - Bass: the bass is similar I don't hear much of difference compare to M1 Bass. the lower end when it gets low it does give you more of a well surrounded howl (in a good way). I listen to EDM or dubstep for gaming. The sound is clean, but as I said the bass can get heavy and smudged feeling when there is a lot going on. - Mid: The mid range is around the same compare to M1. There is not much I can say here, mid range for regular earphones is mediocre. - High: This is where the earphone shines compare to the previous version. I can definitely hear the higher notes clearer and crispier. The high range is no longer blended out compare to the M1. DURABILITY I have been using it for a week now and dropped in a few times on different floors. The cable hasn't been changed. I think it does have a fair durability (M1 has been good to me for 1 year). However, the metal head does give you scratch if you drop or slide it through a rough surface. Overall, I do recommend this product for people who doesn't want to spend much money in their earphones. I think this earphone has been providing me with casual listening and gaming. If you are looking for something really sound technical earphones, I do not recommend this. I do own a Audio-Technica m50x (not really earphone but headphone) for listening for music editing and playing. So this review is a comparison to M1 and not other earphones. Also since this is in-ear earphones, the noise-canceling of surrounding is fairly good (I am not talking about the actual technical process of Noise Cancelling function). FYI - I was recommended and got this product from marsno and they wanted me to compare this product to the previous M1 as a casual consumer. If you have further questions, comment I can try to describe and explain as much as I can, but I would not be checking back as much in amazon.

I will be sending Marsno an email to see what THEY want to do but I wouldn't spend the money. I listened briefly to music to check the bass which is not insubstantial. But, the controller was a fully exposed circuit board. Also on the line was the cover for the board. The buttons to push use the controller that presumably fits over the circuit board is missing altogether. The length of 120cm is correct. It has a gold plated plug BUT the strain relief at both the plug and at each but is stiff throughout. Why did they bother. They could have saved money by putting the wires directly into the buds. Wires are flexible but buds have a hard case SO what should be there is a transition from a hard surface to the fully flexible cable, in other words a progressive strain relief that is very flexible where the wire enters it but gets progressively stiffer the wire transitions to the bud. Instead it's an entirely hard tube. This means it won't last and that the wire will have an "open" and a bud or both will fail. Same goes for the flexible wire's transition to the plug. All in all, a complete waste of money. If I could have submitted this with zero stars, I would have. Amazon requires at least one star. Shame on them. Should Marsno make good on this, I'll revise this review - or write and update.

One Star. They sounded pretty good when I got them, but they're failing already. The left ear bud has become much quieter than the right one and the sound quality has dropped. Additionally the overall build quality is low, the cables are rubbery and cheap feeling, the metal cover on the jack came unglued the first time I pulled it out of a socket, and the silicone ear pieces have sprue around the edges where they didn't come out of the mold properly and are uncomfortable. Update 07/26/19: The left earbud fell apart (see attached picture). These headphones stay at my desk at work and have never been carried anywhere or had any real use. I am waiting on a replacement pair, and hopefully they will be better. Update to 3 Stars 08/06/19: I received my replacement pair of headphones on 07/28/19, and I have been using them at work for a little more than a week. So far so good. They sound pretty good, the mic is acceptable, the inline controls work and are useful, and most importantly they didn't start falling apart immediately like the first pair. If they continue to hold up, then I would say that they are a good value for how much they cost. Customer service was prompt to respond to my initial review and was polite and helpful in my communications with them. Shipping time to get my replacement pair was a little slow; I confirmed my address with them on 07/17/19 (late in the PM, so credit them a day on ship time), and I received the new pair on 07/28/19. 10 day turn around for replacement is a bit slow, but still more than acceptable in my opinion because of how prompt and helpful the customer service was. Three star rating for now since it's only been a week of use after having to replace the first defective pair. I'll update my review one way or another depending on how they hold up and perform over the next few months.

UPDATE: MY KIDS AND I HAVE ENJOYED THESE EARBUDS SO MUCH THAT I PURCHASED A SECOND SET (ONE FOR EACH OF MY KIDS) Disclaimer: I was reimbursed for the purchase of this item for review purposes, but the review content is honest and fair: I recently decided to give these earbuds a try because my kids go through wired earbuds "like candy," and I was looking for a product that would give good sound, be comfortable to wear, and would hold up under abuse. The Marsno earbuds were a VERY pleasant surprise for several reasons: First, the build quality was much better than I expected, with supple, sturdy wires, solid "buds," and comfortable inserts. I have NEVER been a fan of sticking anything in my ears - I guess I'm just more sensitive than most people. The first thing that impressed me was that these earbuds were actually comfortable to wear ... Most of the time I can't wait to pull earbuds out of my aching ears after only a short time. These did not bother me much at all. Second, the sound was full and clean, without too much treble or bass, and with a crispness that made listening to music enjoyable. The earbuds have both a volume up/down button, as well as a button for answering or hanging up a call... This was a very pleasant surprise (the "unexpected extra") because when I initially ordered the earbuds I did not even realize that they incorporated a microphone to use when making/receiving calls! People I spoke to on the phone reported that the sound quality on their end was very good. I even used the earbuds to record a few songs on SMULE, a karaoke app that lets you sing along with other people or by yourself. The quality of the recordings was great! Third, the price was right! For under twenty bucks, this set of earbuds is a great buy! It remains to be seen how long they'll last with my kids actively using them (now that I've finished the initial testing), but they seem to be well built and resilient! I will try to report back as time goes by. Highly recommended! ;-)

I usually don't write amazon reviews but I'm upset with this. I was looking for a pair of affordable earphones with a mic so I could use them to chat on PS4. They took a while to come, so I was pretty excited when they were finally delivered. I mean the look, feel, packaging, etc is fine for the price. The sound quality and bass is pretty good. They're not the most comfortable earbuds on the market but they're bearable. I just have small ears so most earbuds except for apple is kind of uncomfortable. However, my main gripe with this product is that the chat volume out of the right side is so low compared to the left side that it is almost non-existent. Super annoying since I am only going to be using them for gaming. Music and game sounds come out evenly from both sides, so it's definitely a weird issue. the mic is on the right side and I like to game with 1 earbud in, usually the bud that has the mic on its side, so it sucks when I can't do that. Maybe I just got a defective pair. I'm getting a replacement and if those work, I will modify my review accordingly.

This is an excellent pair of in-ear headphones, especially for its price range. Since getting a pair, I've tested the audio quality, volume controls, and play / pause functions, and so far everything works quite well. These headphones have surprisingly strong bass, as mentioned in the description ("Heavy Deep Bass"). Most earbuds are particularly weak on bass, but these must have been engineered specifically to function well in the low-frequency range. I didn't attempt a technical analysis, but I found that the provided frequency response graph to be roughly accurate. Other reviewers have compared these to Skullcandy headphones, and I think that's definitely a fair comparison, even though these cost much less. These are stronger in the bass than the treble, and will be especially good if you tend to listen to bass-heavy music or prefer strong bass. There are a few extras provided: 5 pairs of alternate ear pieces, a small carrying bag, and a clip that can be attached to the headphones. The replacement / alternate ear pieces vary in size, so these should work with most ears out-of-the-box. To get the best sound quality and bass, you definitely need to use the earbuds that fit you the best. They have a standard 3.5mm jack (should work with basically all devices), with a relatively small profile. This means that even if you have a hard phone case without much room around the audio port, you should still be able to plug it in. The cable is approximately 35 inches from the plug to the neck, or about 52 in from the plug to the earbud. Everything seems to be fairly high quality, and I expect it to last quite awhile. Overall, a great value! :)
