Avantree E171 – Sports Earbuds Wired with Microphone, Sweatproof Wrap Around Earphones with Over Ear Hook, in Ear Running Headphones for Workout Exercise Gym Compatible with Cell Phones

UPDATED: Good Earbuds for price
UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am updating this review that I had initially submitted. Approximately 8 months after I bought these (Sep. 2023), the right earbud stopped working all the sudden. I could jiggle and hold the volume control and the sound would come back, but that was not an option. Therefore, I contacted Avantree Support and let them know what happened. They responded by email within 24 hours (other responses for the Support Incident were even quicker than that), and indicated they would send me a new set at no charge as they were still under warranty and provided clear instructions on how to order the new ones. The new ones arrived yesterday, 05/28/24 and they work like a charm.I am still very satisfied with the earbuds, and the professional customer service provided by Avantree. I still feel these are a very good value for the price, given the way they handled replacing the original defective set.ORIGINAL: I have had these Avantree E171 – Sports Earbuds Wired with Microphone for about 3 weeks now and I mainly use these on the treadmill when I run. I have found these to be more than adequate for that purpose. I previously bought Koss $6 headphones for the same purpose but I found those didn’t last long enough before one of the earpieces would just go dead.With the Avantree, I can see that for the price, they are a little better made and the wiring is a little stronger. They don’t seem flimsy at all, and the earbuds themselves and the portion that fits on your ears seem to be sturdy. They fit on my ears nicely enough with the loops and they do not bother me with or without glasses. They come with the middle size eartips attached, but I did find that when I run on the treadmill, they seemed to jump around a little, so I put on the larger ones. (The earbuds come with 3 sizes of eartips).The eartips are a little hard to get off and get the new ones on but you just need to grab the main part of the earbud and grab the base of the eartip and twist and pull a little to take it off, then work the new one on to the stem by working the opening of the eartip on the stem and pushing down and twisting a little. I have dexterity issues with my hands and I still got them on and off in about a minute.As far as the sound, these are not bass heavy at all, but that is fine (especially for the price) as the music I listen to doesn’t have much bass (such as with rap and some rock), but I found there is enough bass where needed, and they provide a nice rich, melodic sound without being “tinny” at all.In addition, although they do not have built-in noise cancelling functionality, I find that with the larger eartips when I am on the treadmill in our community fitness room, I do not hear the lady that babbles on loudly and continuously :). Thank You Avantree!I have not tried these with a cell phone, so I can’t speak to using with that. But, I have tried these on an iPod shuffle, an iPod touch and an iPad. The product listing here under “Before You Buy, Please Note That…” notes:”The built-in volume control does not work on PC, laptop, or iOS MP3 players, and the volume up button does not work on the Pixel 3A and Galaxy A9, S10, and Note 9 (it’ll activate Google Assistant instead).”I will verify the in-cord volume control and the pause button does not work on the iPod shuffle, but I found they DO work on the iPod Touch and my iPad. Seems to be a bit of a bonus.Overall, I think they are worth the price and provide a set of nice sounding wired earbuds.

excellent for the price

I have issues with many earbuds, but I’m comfortable with Avante’s inside and surrounding fit. I use them for 15-16 hours daily, impressed with their sound quality. I recommend using an audio microphone splitter if your PC uses the older audio standard with two jacks to use the microphone function with your PC.

best bang for the buck for earphones ever!
First off, I’m not a reviewer type of person. That being said….I have problems with finding earphones that fit my ears, that stay in place while running, that also sound good and don’t break the wallet. This by far was the best 15$ I’ve spent. My expectations were a tad on the low side but since my last pair sucked, tinny, hurt my ears, then the left ear piece went dead because of wiring, I had to get something. My ear canal is smaller on my left side (for whatever reason), but these things fit like a glove. 1st time ever. These things sound amazing. Huge bass when seated in the ear all the way, like surround sound for the brain. They don’t jump all over and make that annoying popping sound because of the movement when jogging. The cable has a shirt clip which I’m guessing really helps on the popping since it helps the cable to not jump around. Comfortable. This is day 2 of my typical 5mile run and so far, so good! If I have any problems, I’ll add to this review if possible. But so far, these are better than my over the ear, earphones that I wear at home. I highly recommend! …so far

They can not be used for phone calls.
I need the over-the-ear kind because headphones always fall out of my ears. I’ve bought 2 pair of these and they don’t communicate with the telephone. I can listen to podcasts with them but when a phone call comes in I can’t hear or talk and I can’t call out. I mistakenly ordered the second pair, same thing. They’re good with other audio, but it’s really frustrating to have to talk on speakerphone in the car.

The silicone over-ear headphones are comfortable to wear and stay in place even with my glasses on. The audio quality is perfect for my needs, audio files and video sound. Haven’t tried them out as a microphone headset yet. Love that they plug into my phone or tablet (usb c) so there’s no worrying that they’ll lose battery power like you get with Bluetooth sets.The package includes 2 extra sets of earbud covers (sm/lrg).Convenient volume control and shirt clip on the cable.If quality or functionality doesn’t hold up for any reason, I’ll definitely update this review.

Sound quality is good and they hold in my ears well. They also arrived quickly, so good job all round.

I wanted these headphones for walking, I find ipods fall out. These are great, great fit, comfortable to wear, sound is good. Great value for money.
