BetronYSM1000 Earphones in Ear Headphones Wired 3.5mm Jack Tangle-Free Cable Case and Noise Isolating Earbuds

04.25.25Very good earbuds. No, they are NOT noise cancelling, and they don't state that they are. They fit the ear well, do not slip out during exercise. The cord is very durable/flexible (not stiff or rigid). The cord length is fine for my use, small sandisk mps3 player clipped onto waist band of gym shorts or gym pants.I've used a couple different models of the Betron brand earbuds and all were of great sound and quality. I still use on occasion my old (1970's) AKG headphones for listening to vinyl and these Betron earbuds are very good comparatively.gvm

Hated these at first..sounded like there was too much treble, irritated your ears.... think they needed to get broken in....and now they sound awesome very HQ clear, & loud...get a good bass booster for YouTube & you are set with these...Ok besides Great sound these are the significant pluses... these buds are very durable, they come with extra different size tips, the plug-in is gold & pebbled for easy plug in & out, connecting points are reinforced, with rubber, cords tangle a little bit but not terribly bad, and the wire is clear with multicolor strands inside.... if you listen to a lot of music on your phone as I do....for $17 these are a fantastic buy... would definitely repurchase.....👍......

After spending some time listening to these headphones, I can honestly say that I am impressed.Build Quality 4/5.The YSM1000 model headphones from Betron are built solid. All metal ear piece, “Y” connection, and full metal plug with plating. The cord design allows twisting but not knotting; unlike many others that I have with a flat cord design. These claim to be Noise isolating headphones and, if fit properly, will isolate most exterior noises from your listening environment. The cord length overall is just a bit short for how I personally wear my phone/MP3 player however, for my friends, kids, wife, or if wearing this on an armband during a workout, the cord length is just right.Cord noise—for noise isolating headphones, there is none. For a $18 set of headphones, this is outstanding. I have a much higher priced pair of noise isolation headphones that have not been able to pull this off.Sound Quality 4/5The YSM1000 model is advertised as “Heavy Deep Bass…” headphones. With 11mm Drivers, I would have expected a better bass response than they delivered from a flat EQ Setting. Unfortunately, these sounded very muddy on the low end at first.Once adjusted with an EQ however, these headphones began to show their true colors; crystal clear highs, warm vocals, and finally, solid, if not too much bass. Yes, these did begin to live up to the advertised “Heavy Deep Bass…” as advertised. Just understand that you will have to adjust your settings to bring out the true quality of these headphones.Head to Head ComparisonVs—Skull Candy Smokin Bud 2 HeadphonesThe Skull candy’s have been my go to headphones for the past 3 years. Crystal clear highs, deep punchy bass, warm vocals. Basically these are my reference for anything that I use on my phone or MP3 player. I found that after listening to the YSM1000 for about a week, I was genuinely impressed. These were just as good, if not better than my Skull Candy’s. Bonus to the YSM1000—they do not knot up like my Skull Candys’ seem to do anytime I set them down, or in my bag.While the Skull Candy's produce a much tighter bass response, the Betrons seem to produce a deeper, more resonant bass response. Both handled vocals extremely well however, the Betrons seemed to have a much warmer tone than the skull candys. As for the highs (treble), the Betron YSM1000 smoked my skull candys; that was very suprising. These open up the high end like I have not heard in a set of headphones in this price-point before.Vs--Audio-Technica ATH-M40x Professional Studio Monitor HeadphonesYes, I put them up against a set of reference headphones. No, they are not that good but, I did not expect them to be. However, it did give me a chance to see how far I could tune them sonically for the best quality reproduction. First, The ATH-M40x are 100% dead neutral headphones; the only thing you hear through them is what the source is putting out, no extra bass, or anything fancy. Just straight music. When comparing the Betrons against the ATHs, I had to make quite a few adjustments on the mixing board to bring as close as possible to reproducing a dead neutral sound.Take AwayFor a budget set of headphones, these are designed and sound quite well. And, after fussing with them on the mixing board to bring them as close to dead neutral as possible, I can back up the claim that they are actually engineered to produce more bass in the 31-150hz range than my Skull candys. While they will never be used as reference hadphones, they can be adjusted to bring out the best in almost any music that you like, whether that is a tight kickdrum of rock and roll, or the sonic thump of pop/rap, or even the warm notes of an acoustical guitar.FULL DISCOSURE:All headsets were tested on both a Samsung Galaxy S5 running Power Amp as the MP3 player; as well as a Toshiba Satellite 17D Laptop running Sony Sound Forge; All EQ Settings were set for full flat--dead neutral to start and then adjusted to personal presets to account for preferred listening style. EQs were then reset to dead neutral and band by band adjustments were made until optimal settings for each band was reached. Preamp was kept at dead neutral for all testing.Songs/Artist used to compare sound quality:Dream Theatre-Greatest Hit (….and 21 other really great songs)Pink Floyd—The WallBruno Marrs—24K Magic, Uptown FunkBlack Veil Brides—Wretched and Divine (The Story of the Wild ones)The Eagles—Hell Freezes OverMidnight Syndicate—The Gates of Delirium

I'm not into doing reviews but this is the first set of in ear head phones that actually have good sound quality and volume, so impressed I just ordered another pair, Great price, Great quality...

I've had these for 5 days now and I will say the physical presentation and materials are good, the sound is ok and the quality (longevity) is far too soon to tell. They look and feel great, especially at the price point. They fit my ears just fine and come with a few different sized tips. The metal construction looks very nice. I like the weight of the cable used. It doesn't look all wavy/bent when you take it out of it's packaging like some thinner cables sometimes do. The cable is also somewhat translucent so you can see the twisted wires inside which looks nice.I find the sound of the headphones to not match their visual appeal. My first impression was that they seem more efficient (louder at the same volume level) than several other in-ears that I use, but the sound is not as clear. The highs sound a bit muffled as if you are listing to music through bedsheets. It's not terrible, but I wouldn't call it good. The bass is muddy and not well defined.I think if you were to pick these up and have nothing to compare them to and/or you are not someone who tends to over scrutinize the nuances of sound in your headphones, you will probably like these just fine. I did find that after exclusively wearing these for a few days at 30-60minute intervals, they started to sound a little better. I wondered if they were truly breaking in and sounding better or just getting my ears accustomed to their sound. As soon as I put in my other headphones I confirmed that I was just getting used to the sound. They still lacked clarity and have muddy bass (to my ears). For the price, they're not bad. If you can do without the good looks and just prefer better sound (from the opinion of this reviewer) I recommend either the Panasonic RP-HJE120 or Panasonic RP-HJE125. Both are inexpensive and while they sound different from one another, I have a hard time determining which I prefer. I do have other in-ear headphones that are considerably more expensive that also sound better but it's not a fair comparison considering the difference in price.I've read other reviews with concerns for the build quality and specifically issues with the screen material coming off. I've only had mine 5 days so it's far too soon to know if mine will have the same issues or not. So far they look as good as when I took them out of their box.

My second purchase of these great sounding earphones. I use for gym workouts. Excellent sonic quality
