Zipbuds Slide Sport Earbuds with Mic - Black & White

These headphones are a good value for the money.Pro: They never tangle. Ever. I can wad them up and jam them in my bag and pull them out later and be ready to use them in seconds.Con: They will not stay in my ears while running. I have tried all three sizes of the plastic tips, but they all slide out at varying rates while running. The best earphones for running that I have ever used were Etymotic headphones, but they didn't last long (<3 months). The second best were Bose SoundSport headphones, but they also wore out as well (<18 months). If these ZipBuds could stay in my ear just a little better,, it would be amazing.My wife ran with these headphones twice as a test as well. She is a little on the small side (5'3" ~125#) and she had the same feedback. She loved the headphones until she started moving vigorously.I run 7 days a week and used these earbuds exclusively for a couple of weeks now. I really like the headphones and the microphone works really well for the price range. I plan on buying a second pair as a back up to keep in my gym bag.I used the headphones for a couple of unexpected work calls while running. They did a great job and the people on the other end didn't know I was talking thru a set of headphones (no distortion, cave effect, or echo).

I bought these because they are supposed to be tangle resistant. Nope. They tangle just like any other cord earbuds. Wasted my money. Sound quality is good. Earbuds stays in ear really well.

These headphones nicely fit the purpose for which they were bought - light, functional, sturdy earbuds that can easily transition (in looks and functionality) between use professionally and as an athlete. They stay in place very well, even when moving about, and even come with additional soft earbud sizes that can be switched out to fit your ear better. The "zip" function completely prevents tangling and is very easy to use. What I like best about this model is the built-in microphone and the one button remote. You can answer the phone, hang up, pause/start songs, and skip backwards and forward through music. The only thing it is missing is volume control but I can live without it. The overall sound and noise cancelling are slightly above average for earbuds at this price point. For the price, a great quality product.

DISCLAIMER: Manufacturer is giving a free set of second headphones for an unbiased review. Please be aware this influences most people to give an inflated review. I am not one of those people.These are OK workout headphones, but are comparable to $5-10 headphones in sound quality. The price point they're currently at is ridiculous for what you actually get. I feel ripped off.Pros: Stylish. Stayed in place fairly well in my ears during an energetic workout.Cons: The sound is extremely muddy. Sound quality overall has me wincing while trying to listen to music. It distracted me from my workout listening to the tinny and ill-defined sound. Cord is very short.Only the highs are somewhat decent. Mids are very runny, which ruins basically any song. Bass is absolutely terrible - it reminds me of the old 'bass boost' on cassette players. Sound quality is on par with old cassette players as well. Whichever sound driver hardware they're using is incredibly bad.I'm going to gift these to some of my family members who are superficial. The manufacturer has obviously prioritized style over substance. Read the product description over again and see the buy-bait nonsense phrases: "Military Grade Bulletproof Fibers", "Next-Generation Tangle Free Technology - Zipperless Zipper Cabling".

I have had a variety of earbuds from various manufacturers over the years. I'm a video professional and it's important to have good audio in a very lightweight form, such as earbuds. I needed some better quality earbuds that could withstand the use "in the field." After reading some reviews, I picked up the Zipbuds Slide Sport Earbuds with Mic. I immediately tested and compared as soon as I got the package. Well, there was no comparison between several of my other earbuds and the new Zipbuds. The Zipbuds were outstanding in quality and quite a difference from the others. In reviews I read that the bass response is very good. That is an understatement really. It's not just the bass, it's an overall dynamic range. You will hear instruments in your favorite recordings that you didn't realize were there.I'm very pleased and now have them around my neck all day. Either ready for video service or to speak on the phone. (I prefer these over my bluetooth device also.)Very good product and I will recommend them to my friends.

I purchased Zipbuds because they are the most durable earbuds on the market. Like iPhone charging cords, I have gone through multiple trials until I found out that you can purchase cords that are thicker and more durable. Recurrent use of the earbuds can easily cause the cord to bend which causes a failure in transmitting sound. The idea of manufacturing earbuds with a thicker cord is more than logical; the best Zipbud model comes with a lifetime replacement warranty. I’m not an audiophile; however, I think the earbuds sound great. The fit in the ear is comfortable with material that gives enough to be comfortable but stays in the ears. As a physician I can say that the curving of the earbud contact within the ear seems to be anatomically sensible. The left and right side of Zipbuds are color-coded so that one can easily glance and put on the Zipbud in while in a hurry. Zipbuds do tangle less easily with the innovative technology that the company uses. Yet again the thickness of the cord is really what matters the most.
